| Death From Peculiar Accident. Alva Hickey, about 12 years of age, died in Yuma yesterday as the result of a peculiar accident which happened at the Rockland canal heading. Two or three days ago he was whittling a post when the knife slipped from the wood, the blade struck his leg near the knee and severed a large artery. The wound was band aged, but continued to bleed and the boy grew weaker until yesterday he was brought down the river to Yuma in a skiff for medical attention. Dr. Cotter was called to see the boy, but he was beyond human aid and died in a few hours from blood poisoning. His parents live in Yuma valley. The re mains were buried at 2 p. m. today.
