Killed By Tree

The Sad Death Of Hugh McNab

Wife Was A Witness

The Distressing Accident Near Peck Yesterday - The Deceased Was Well Known

Peck, Dec. 21. (Special to the Tribune)

Hugh McNab, a well known farmer, met death in the most distressing manner this afternoon a few miles from Peck.

Mr. McNab was engaged in felling a tree when a limb struck him on the neck, the blow almost severing the head from the body. Mrs. McNab was nearby watching her husband while he was at work and became a witness to the sad accident. She immediately mounted a horse and rode to neighbors who hurried to the scene.

The death of the young man had undoubtedly been instantaneous, considering the character of the injury he received.
