PECULIAR DEATH
Nine-Year-Old Daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. C. H. Bulleigh Killed by
Jumping From a Buggy.

The nine-year-old daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. C. H. Bulleigh who live on
the Free Bockhoven farm four miles
east of Princeton, died in a very peculiar
manner yesterday. Mrs. Bulleigh
had been out raspberrying with her
little girl and her son during the fore
noon near the Byers' place east of H.
Holthus' farm. About noon they got
into the buggy to start for home and
as Mrs Bulleigh spoke to the horse to
go it began kicking in a violent manner.
Mrs. Bulleigh and the children became
frightened and jumped out of the buggy.
As soon as they recovered from the
fright it was discovered that the little
girl was hurt, the injury seeming to
be of an internal nature. The child was
taken to the farm house of Mr. Neumann,
and Dr. Armitage was summoned but the
child died be fore he reached the house,
death en suing half an hour after the
injury. It is thought that the child fell
to the ground with such force as to cause
an internal hemorrhage as there were no
marks on it other than a bruise on one
of its arms.
