Bom, March 6th( 1884. at Coral, to Mr. aud Mis. Ubas. Tuttle, a mm. Caw*' gi atulations are iu order. There is considerable evefteiaent in this vicinity because of tile s*bkplcious clrcumftancos attending the death of a little four-year-old German boy. It •asms that the jbt|,v waa the Illegitimate offspring o! his parents, who at the time af tha bayV death, lived in tha eheeea factory at Coral. Tlie father, according tp TO ports, had often misused tlie boy; and at one time sent him ant doers aliMMji^ aqd befare he came In his Angara wera feaaes so that the nails canaa ofl fraos tbam. Bnt at this par- tlcMartlase the boys Knottier was»ick and his father took him to a neighbor* house to stay awhile, bnt wheu he got there for aome reason the bej could net stand up, and tha brutal fattier whipped him unmercifully. The woman of the house retnonetratad saying that the boy *as sick. Tha father Mid no, that he had only fallen down stsirs, while the truth was tha boy was suffering from a broken Arm and an abcesa on one limb* and tha probabilities are tbat tnatesd of fulling dawn stairs ha was kicked dawn and the abcess and broken arm the result of the kick. "At the Coroner's Inquest an examination found tha body of the poor bey ta be literally covered with buckle marks, presumably the marks ot a whipping Imposed by the father with a strap and a buckle at the end. The boy died iu a day or two after the above occurrence, and, beyond a doubt, from Injurlee received at the hands af a brutal father. Tlie man Is still at large.
