Mr. and Mrs. Peter Whalen of New Albin are mourning the death of their eight months old baby, who was a twin, and was the victim of a peculiar and tragic accident on Wednesday last, says the Waukon Democrat. The infant became lodged between the bed it was lying on and a wall of the bedroom and was caught in such a manner that it strangled to death.
