A son of Henry Harding, about 16 years old, of Center township, went to the spring last Saturday, to haul water home. While returning with two barrels full in the wagon he was thrown out and the wheels passed over his chest and crushed him so badly that he died in a few moments after his father found him lying in the road where he had fallen.
