Death by Accident.

On last Sunday a boy about twelve years of age, a son of Henry Klein of Walnut township, went to the Garrett school house to attend Sunday school, which was to be held at three o'clock in the afternoon. He arrived at the school house before any one got there, and found the door locked. From appearances it seemed probable that he put up some blocks by the window, the house being built on a high foundation, and raised the window to get in, when the blocks gave way under him and the window sash fell and caught his head. He was found hanging by the neck dead, and on examination it was found that the neck was broken. It was indeed, a distressing accident.
