Will Bonnell tells of a sad accident that came under his notice in the lower part of Fountain County last week. A man named Russell and Frank Denman started out to see some neighbors and as they came through the woods they saw those neighbors sawing down a giant tree. Just as they came up, the tree fell, a large limb struck Russell, killing him instantly. That night a wife and child waited supper until 11 o’clock, when they learned that the one they waited for would never return.
