     Boy killed - An accident occurred at Bingham yesterday [14 Sep 1885], at 2:10 p.m., resulting in the death of a ten-year-old boy named Willie Giles, son of Hyrum Giles, of this city. He was in the tramway shed of the Old Telegraph mine for some purpose, probably playing, when he was caught between a tramway car loaded with ore and the posts of the shed, and crushed so that he died from the effects of the squeeze in about five minutes, although everything possible was done to save him.
     His body will be brought to this city this evening, and the funeral service over the remains will be held at the residence of H. E. Giles, opposite the Music Hall in the 15th Ward at 10 a.m. tomorrow. Friends of the family are invited to be in attendance.
