CECIL ADCOCK HIT BY BASEBALL

DIED SATURDAY

Cecil Adcock passed away Saturday morning in the Ainsworth Hospital of a hemorrhage caused from injuries sustained last Thursday when he was hit on the left side of the head with a baseball.
Mr. Adcock was playing in the Meadville-Sparks game and had just gotten up to bat when the ball, which he failed to see, hit him. The injury was not considered serious at the time, and he was able to talk to his friends. His condition became worse Friday, and nothing human hands could do would save his life. His former home was at Auburn, but he had made Keya Paha County his home during the past ten years, living on a farm fourteen miles north of Springview. He leaves his wife and five children, the oldest being ten years old and the youngest four months.
