CHILD KILLED BY MOWER.
FATHER CAUSES SON'S DEATH,
("Sydney Sun" Service.) WASHINGTON, Aug. 26
Albert George, a farmer, literally cut his son to pieces yesterday by driving over him with a mower. The child, who was two years old, was asleep in an oatfield in which his father was working. He had become tired with playing, and lay down among the oats.
The father had not missed the child, and the knives of the mower inflicted terrible injuries on him before the machine could be stopped. The child died in a few hours.
