EarlhamA very sad and terrible thing occurred Tuesday when the three year old child of Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Johnson while at play in an out building, secured a bottle containing crude carbolic acid and drank the contents. The child was immediately discovered and hastened to a physician who administered remedies, but with no avail and in less than two hours from the time the little one drank the poison, it died after having suffered intensely. The death of a child is a source of great sorrow to the parents, and in such a way when they are powerless to even give relief the blow comes with a double weight.
