W.L. Bailey, who resided a short distance up the river, while throwing hay down from the loft of his barn, missed his footing and fell through the trap (by which entrance to the loft is obtained). He fell 12 feet to the floor below striking the back of his head with such force as to fracture his skull. He was picked up unconscious and remained so for 4 or 5 hours when death relieved him of his sufferings, if he was conscious of any.
Mr. Bailey was an old gentlemen of upwards of 70 years of age and leaves a crippled wife (who was lamed for life several years ago, likewise by a fall), besides several children. Dr. Barber was in attendance and remained till death closed the scene, but the injury and advanced age of the patient rendered all human aid futile.
