… The following special in the Des Moines "Register" from Selma, Van Buren county, tells of a terrible accident: "Two little boys, Chas STOUT, aged 10, and Ezra Robinson, aged 7, were buried alive in a sand pit this afternoon --- both boys were dead when found. The foregoing are the facts in the case of a terrible accident which occurred here Friday afternoon about 4:30. About six tons of sand fell upon them. Not a whole bone was left in either body."
