Fatal Accident.

Wm. Delain, a farmer who lived a short distance north of Worthington, in Madison township, died last Saturday from the effects of injuries received by a corn crib falling upon him. He was engaged in shelling corn from the crib, and had just stepped inside when the structure gave way and fell upon him, crushing him against the sheller. The crib was made of poles and had a ton or two of hay on top of it. Mr. Delain received the accident on Wednesday and lived until the Saturday following. We understand that he was a widower and had no immediate family.

Note: Burial was made in the Worthington cemetery.
