The little Jap boys, frightened, rau to their home, about a half mile beyond Hoerr's, and the younger Hoerr boy ran to his home, a few rods distant, and told his father that Billy was ii urt. Mr. Hoerr went to - Ilte --- Jap - cabin, the Jap arriving frni the field about the same time, and found his little son lying on his face on the wood box. The father picked up the little form and carried it bo his home, whil,a, the Jap phoned to Hardin \Tor Dr. I - 4verfield, who 'arrived on the iieene within a half hour, but thelittle one was beyond.= earthly aid.
