      Seventeen-Years Old Boy Meets Death in Iowa.
      Potomac, Ill., Aug. 18. - Mr. and Mrs. William Gritten, residing south of here, received word late Saturday that their 17-year-old son, Will Gritten, had been killed in an auto accident in Iowa.
      William Gritten was born and reared in this vicinity. Six months ago, when his uncle, George Gritten, moved to Iowa, the lad went with him and had since made his home there.
