PUTERBAUGH, SON OF OLIVER - A SAD ACCIDENT - A five-year-old Boy Breaks His Neck. - An accident of a somewhat peculiar nature, occurred in the vicinity of Georgetown, this county, last Wednesday, the full particulars of which we have been unable to learn positively, but understand it was as follows: A little five year old son of Mr. Oliver Puterbaugh, who lives about three miles west of Georgetown, was romping in the bed room with some other children and was tumbling over the bed. In some manner the little fellow got his head fastened between the rounds in the bedstead and at the same time fell off. His neck was broken and he was dead when the alarmed family reached the room.
