LOCAL NEWS.
----------
About 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon, a sad accident occurred near Fairland which by the time this reaches the public will no doubt have resulted in death. At the time mentioned, a four-yar-old son of Charles Gephardt, who lives half a mile south of the town, was playing in a lot near the house. There were a number of horses loose in the lot, and the little boy wandering too near was kicked by one of them in the forehead. The blow of the horse's foot crushed the child's skull so badly that the brains oozed out from the fractues. The little fellow was takenup insensible and carried into the house where everything possible was done to allieviate his sufferings. He was alive at our latest accounts this morning, but no hopes were entertained of his recovery.Monday, July 21, 1884.
