A child killed
The six-year old boy of a Mr. Davis, living about 10 miles southwest of Blackwell, was mysteriously killed on Wednesday of last week.
The little fellow was missed sometime during the afternoon; as the evening drew on the woman folks, there being no men at home at the time, became alarmed and began a search for him. Failing to find him, they called in the assistance of the neighbors, and just about sundown the little child was found not far from the house lying upon his face, dead. There were no marks or bruises about his person, except a small punctured hole in the back of his head. The physician who was called to examine the wound thought it was evidently caused by the point of a cows horn, as several cattle were near where the body was found.
