Letts, April 23- the remains of Harry McGill were brought here Thursday and taken to Indian Creek cemetery for interment. Harry was working with an electric wire and coming into contact with the wire was so shocking as to lose his footing and fell a distance of 20 feet on the pavement below dashing his brains out. A large concourse of friends met the bereaved family at the depot and accompanied them with the remains of their loved son to his last resting place. The family returned to their Davenport home the same evening.
