Grand Nephew of W. C. Babcock Meets Sudden Death Friday.

W. C. Babcock and sister, Miss Sallie Rees, were notified by telegram this Saturday morning of the death at Hartford City of their grand nephew, William Trant, the 9-year-old son of James T. Trant, city clerk of Hartford City. The Indianapolis Star gives a brief account of the boy’s death. It seems that just as school was out Friday evening he jumped on a wagon that was passing and fell under the wheels, which passed over him, causing instant death. Miss Rees went to Hartford City, leaving Rensselaer on the 10:55 train to be present for the funeral.
