‘Sad Tragedy at Hun- ? ter River When Son of Mr. W. Whitlock Concord N. H. Loses Life.

Word was received last; evening

of a sud drowning infamy which occurred Saturday afternoon at Hunter River and in which the little five year (lTiT so-n of Mr. Wilfred Whitlock, Concord, N. ll. lost ‘his life. About .30 p. n1. tho little fellow comlia y with his older brother Reggie left the home of their grandparents and proceeded to the mill dam. After-playing oi: the ice for some time Reggie re- turned home. Shortly before 3.30 the grandfather becoming alarmed over the younger boy's absence started out in search of him. Ile followed the tracks in the snow, arrived at the mill dam and after proceeding some distance down the stream he discovered a hole in the ice. Help was then sum- moned and about 4.30 p. m. the lifeless body of the little fellow‘ was taken from the water.

Dr. Lefurgey was called but found upon his arrival the child was dead.

The tragedy is particularly sad by the fact that uielther of the (ahlldren belonged to that locality ‘having come there last September

to spend the winter with their grandparents. The deceased was of a very

pleasant and cheery disposition and bod it large number oi friends both old stud young. Much sym- pathy goes out to the grandparents both of whom had become very nt- tached to the child.

It ls expected that the father ‘will arrive tomorrow night and
