A FATAL ACCIDENT.
Willie Bouligny, son of Louis Bouligny, an employee of the Estorge Drug Co.,
whole sale department, fell from a step ladder some two weeks ago. He landed
amidst a number of large bottles and demijohns. A number of the glass
vessels were broken, resulting in inflicting severe wounds about the
shoulder and arm. By Christmas day inflamation [sic] had set in in an alarming
form. During that day he died. His funeral took place from St. Peters
Catholic Church on Sunday evening. He was about 20 years of age. We learn
that no one was near him when the accident occurred. He had evidently gone
to the top of the shelving and had probably lost his balance in attempting
to shift his ladder.
