Tragic Accident at St. Eleanors
A tragic accident occurred last night at St. Eleanors, the victim of which was Master Victor Compton, the 14 year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Stanley Compton. The lad with his mother and his two brothers had just arrived home in their carriage from visiting a neighbor. The horse had just been unhitched and was being turned into a pasture for the night when the animal unexpectedly kicked sideways, striking the lad full force on the chest in the region of the heart. He fell and passed away almost instantaneously. A physician was sent for but his services were not required. The little chap was a fine manly lad who was much esteemed in the home and among his companions. Only last Sunday he had been confirmed by Bishop MacKenly and received his first communion. To his grief-stricken parents, brothers and sisters the deep sympathy of the community is extended.
