FATAL ACCIDENT.

Isaac H. Watkins, the seven year old son of Adam Watkins, who lives on the
Irwin place near Merrill, was run over by a wagon and fatally hurt this
week.

The boy was riding on a load of manure with his father and the latter as
they were going along suddenly noticed the team pulling as if passing over
some obstruction, and looking back, to his horror, saw the hind wheel of the
wagon going over the son's head. The little fellow's skull was horribly
crushed, the brain protruding. He was picked up and carried home but never
regained consciousness and died on Wednesday night.
