BOY MEETS DEATH IN TERRIBLE MANNER
Russell Grinstead Drowned Yesterday Afternoon
AT HOME NEAR HAYSVILLE
Lad Was Pretending to Feed Hogs.
Russell Grinstead, the two-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Grinstead, who live one mile east of Haysville, was drowned in a slop barrel between 2 and 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon.
The lad had been playing in the yard at his home, which is a farm, since the dinner hour. The last time noticed by his parents he was pretending to feed some hogs from a barrel which was about three-fourths full.
Mr. Grinstead, who was doing some chores in and outside the house, happened to glance up and noticed that his son was out of sight. Search was made for him and the little fellow was found in the barrel. It is supposed he climbed to the top by means of boards which stood nearby and losing his balance, fell into the barrel. He had evidently been there but a few seconds when found but he died before medical aid arrived.
Mr. Grinstead, in addition to working his farm, is a school teacher. He has pupils at Waco. He has occupied his present home about four years.
Funeral services over the body will be held Monday morning at 10 o'clock. I. W. Gill, of this city, has charge of the funeral arrangements.
