Bartlett Farmer Drowns
Robert Pierce, a young farmer living two miles southwest of Bartlett,
was drowned while bathing in the Missouri River at noon Sunday. Willie
Kimsey, a boy about 10 years old , who has been making his home with Pierce,
was with him at the time of the accident, which occurred while Pierce
was sitting in the stern of a rowboat fastened to a tree. In some way
he slipped off into the water, which was about ten feet deep and with
a swift current. He was a poor swimmer and unable to grasp the boat or
reach a willow which leaned over the water near him. When the news was
given circulation a large crowd gathered which proceeded to the scene
of the accident, but not before a large number of his neighbors were there.
They obtained a fish net and dragged the river for half a mile but failed
to find the body. Mr. Pierce leaves a widowed mother. He was a hardworking
man and had a crop of fifty acres of corn. He was well known, having lived
in that vicinity for a couple of years.

Lad Choked to
Death on small " Paper Wad "
Clifford Earl
Campbell the five year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Alvy Campbell who lived
in the hills five miles west of Tabor, died suddenly from choking in
the yard of their home last Saturday morning about
10:00 O'clock. the lad was playing about as usual with his four
brothers and sister, when he suddenly ran into the yard and began thrusting
his fingers down his throat in an apparent attempt to relieve a choking.
His mother went to him but he could not talk so she could understand
him, and she was powerless to help him, and he died instantly in her
arms. An autopsy held Sunday morning revealed a pellet of paper the
size of a marble lodged in the trachea where it branches off to the
two lungs. this had formed a plug which shut off the Childs breath
and caused death. It evidently had been chewed and held in the
mouth,and apparently had been drawn into the windpipe by accident while
at play.
