Wapello, Ia. July 10. - Cora, one of the twin children of Mr. and Mrs Jos. Schmeiser, residing west of Wapello, was trampled to death by a horse on Sunday morning.

Doctors from Wapello were summoned, but the child only died about thirty minutes after the accident. She was about three and one-half years old. The funeral was held Monday afternoon from the home. Interment in Wapello Cemetery.
