A Sad Accident

Resulting in the death of the infant son of Mr. and Mrs. R. M. Meggitt, of Riverton, occurred last Sunday afternoon.

Mrs. Meggitt with the child and her sisters were driving home, the horse became frightened and ran away throwing out the occupants, and the child was caught in the lines and dragged several rods receiving fatal injuries from which it died on Monday morning.

The little one was buried in Riverside on Thursday. Rev. D. C. Hauk conducting the services. In this loss Mr. and Mrs. Meggitt have the sympathy of all.
