Sees Dead Baby Floating Past Homestead Door

Selfridge, S.D., June 20.—The little two-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Strickler, playing about their cabin door, tumbled into the creek and was drowned. Although the body was recovered in less than 10 minutes, when the mother saw the little form floating down the stream, efforts to restore life proved futile.
