Two Small Boys at Morocco Smothered by Sand Cave-In.

Morocco Courier. Thursday evening (July 20) as we go to press the community is shocked by the sad news that Harry Cole, aged 8, son of Mrs. -Anna Cole, and Harry Shuttq, of Danville. 111., who was visiting there were found dead in a sand cave about six o’clock. The boys had dug a hole in a sand bank and were playing, in it when it caved in and they were smothered before found and relief given them. The little girl went to call them and saw the*feet of them extending out of the hole and gave the alarm, when Mrs. Cole and her father dug them out. Harry was Mrs. Cole’s only son and a manly little fellow. She has the sympathy of all.
