BABY'S DEATH RESULTED

Headache tablets given by a little sister to her five months' old brother, Curtis, resulted in his death at the noon hour Christmas Day.

Curtis is a son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Cowin, who resided on the Atwood Farm, two miles south of Bengal.

Three days ago the baby was found in spasms by his mother, who had left him in a room fifteen minutes previous.

Dr. Payne, of Franklin, was called and he diagnosed the illness as being an overdose of morphine. Later in the day the four year old sister admitted that she had placed a number of headache tablets in the baby's mouth.

Besides the parents, one brother, John; the sister, Cora, and a half-brother, Raymond, survive. The babe also leaves its grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. John Lee, of the Lewis Creek neighborhood.

Arrangements for the funeral have not been completed.
