Goldsboro Messenger: A. very sad
and distreing accident occurred in
the family of Mr. A. B. Thompson,
living near Gldsboro, which result
ed in the death of his little five years
old son, Alex. Bagwell The little
fellow was left in the house Thursday
morning last and a short time theres
after an older brother was attracted
by his screams; rushing into the
house he met the Ahild ot-. a
with one whole side in a light blaze.
He succeeded in extinguishing the
flames, and in his efforts burned his
hands severely. The little sufferer
lingered until Monday night when
death relieved him of his pains. How
the accident occurred we are not in
formed.
