A SAD ACCIDENT. - On Saturday September the 11th, Milton Kraft, the oldest son of Bro. George Kraft of Kent county, Michigan, was engaged in cutting seed clover with the mower. His two younger brothers had come along with their father to the field. The father after giving necessary instructions to the boy with the mower, went away to attend to some work, telling the two smaller boys to go back to the house. The boys started but soon returned and came near the place where the machine was at work. The older brother stopped the machine and told the boys to go on home as their father had told them, and spoke to the horses to go; but they not starting immediately one of the younger boys having a whip in his hands and thinking to help his brother in the work stepped up to the horses right in front of the sickles and struck the horse nearest to him, which, starting, put the machine in motion, which struck the boy, cutting his left leg nearly off above the ankle and also making several gashes in the foot. The boy was taken home and a physician called, but it was afterwards found necessary to amputate the limb. After this the boy kept sinking until death relieved him of his sufferings on Sunday October 5th, at the age of 5 years, 9 months and 3 days.
