           FATAL ACCIDENT

           A lamentable accident occurred at Mosher Bros' mill near the
         junction Saturday afternoon.
           WILLIE TRIPP, the sixteen years old son of D. R. TRIPP, of
         Petoskey, was at his work near a large pile of hardwood lumber
         recently sawed, when suddenly the pile fell upon him, completely
         covering him.
           It seems he was piling rolling pins under a tramway or trestle
         upon which several thousand feet of green lumber was piled. No
         one saw the structure fall, but a man noticed that it had fallen,
         and when the lumber was removed the body of the unfortunate
         young man was found, so badly crushed that death was probably
         instantaneous.
           A coroners inquest was held, and a verdict rendered in
         accordance with the facts as above set forth.
           The funeral was held at the Presbyterian church Sunday, and
         was very largely attended.
           The young man was a smart, industrious boy, who was popular
         with all who knew him, and the family have the heartfelt sympathy
         of all in their sudden affliction.
