Dubuque Herald – May 28, 1875

A serious if not fatal accident occurred last Saturday evening. Two boys were swinging, and one named Walfred Stickney, about fourteen years of age, missing his hold, fell out striking upon his head and shoulders, knocking him insensible, in which condition he remained until yesterday. He was injured severely internally, and at last accounts hopes were entertained of his recovery.
