Annie May Fox, a nineteen-months-old child of John Fox, residing at No. 608 Royden street, died on Wednesday from lock jaw. While playing around the house she fell, a crochet needle which she held in her tiny fist entered her mouth and punctured the gum. No attention was paid to the wound at the time until she was thrown into spasms. She died in great agony.
