A sad accident occurred near Smithfield Saturday evening about 6 o'clock resulting in the death of the 8 year old boy of Jacob Schwarz. the lad and his father were hauling home a load of corn from the farm of Nels Bernstson, the boy walking on one side of the wagon holding the lines, while the father was on the opoosite side brushing the flies off the horses. In some manner, Schwarz did not see and does not know how the boy fell under the wheels, which passed over the top and back of his head, crushing it. He was taken to the home of Lee Adams, near by, and lived about an hour. Dr. Shreck was called by phone, but nothing could be done to save the child's life. The funeral was held Tuesday.
