Boy Drowns in a Post Hole.

Chicago, Sept 12.—An uncovered post hole not three feet In depth caused the death of a 3-year-old child, Harry Ilanney, a son of George Hanney, a stockyards employe living at 036 Forty-Eighth street. Carpenters building a fence there had been compelled by the rain to leave their work at noon. Several post holes had been left open, and in one of these Mrs. Henney found her son head downward. The hole was filled within a foot of the top with rain water and the child was drowned.
