Friday, 10 August 1883

         A young son, aged about four years, of H. GOEDKE,
       of Ahnapee town, was drowned near his father's place
       in a very singular manner last Saturday. The boy was
       at play near a large hole, which had been dug for a
       well and which, on account of the heavy rains of late
       was filled with water, and accidently stumbling fell
       in and before assistance reached him was drowned. 
       The funeral of the unfortunate lad took place Monday.
