HUNG IN A TREE.

Young Man Meets Death in a Very Peculiar Manner. A peculiar and fatal accident befell George Brady, son of Nathaniel Brady, of Homing Falls, W. Va., recently. Young Brady was riding a frisky young horse, and the animal ran off with him. Passing under a large apple tree growing by the roadside, the boy’s neck was caught in the forks of two large limbs, and his neck forced up into the crotch of the limbs. The horse was going very rapidly, and the force drew his neck into the forks of the limbs so tight as to hold him there, strangling him, and

causing death before assistance arrived, although several persons were near at hand. The horse ran on, leaving the boy hanging by the neck.

A MODERN ABSALOM.
