DEAD FROM BLOW ON HEAD.

Special to the Tribune.
  Burnham, August 20. - Charles A. Leeper, 9 years old, is dead here from an 
injury sustained on Saturday when his older brother Ivan accidentally hit him 
on the head with a stone.  The blow left no mark nor did the boy feel any bad 
effects from it until several hours later; even then the parents thought his 
illness due to eating green apples, but when he fell into a deep sleep they 
summoned a physician, whose efforts to wake him proved futile.
