Article Description: Snake Killed Three. And A Fourth Child of A Missouri Family Fell in A Well.
Article Text:
Sullivan, Mo., Aug. 31.--Three little children of a widow named JENKINS, while at play, went to a place near the barn to gather eggs. The place was rather out of the way and dangerous, owing to snakes, which are numerous in that region. One child thrust its head into what it supposed was the hens' nest and quickly withdrew it, exclaiming that the hen pecked its hand. The other two children put in their hands with the same result, and then set up a loud cry. The mother was at the well with the baby, and the alarm so excited her that she left the babe and ran to the assistance of the three children, who, it seems, had been bitten by a rattle-snake. During the excitement the little babe fell into the well and was drowned, and the three other children also died.
