A son of James A. Forgey was killed Saturday at Russellville by a flag pole falling on him. Some parties were preparing to take the pole down when it fell and caught the lad.  The pole was a long one and the blow a terrible one. The lad lay unconscious for about 24 hours before death came to his relief. - kbz
