KILLED BY A STALK CUTTER -- Just as we go to press we are informed by Chas. Stoner of the death of Peter BAYNE, aged fourteen years, son of John BAYNE, who lives near Abingdon, about fifteen miles northwest of this city. The accident occurred while he was driving a team with the cutter along the public road, the horses frightening at a plank on a bridge which had been torn loose as the cutter ran over it. The left arm and left leg of the unfortunate boy were badly mangled, the latter being almost torn from the body at the knee. Mr. Mohr was sent for, but the boy was past earthly aid when medical aid reached him.

Note: Buried in Abingdon Cemetery; he shares a gravestone with James BAYNE.
