Arthur Brown, the 16-year-old son of Joseph Brown, died of suffocation in the Haskins grain elevator yesterday afternoon. The boy was jumping into an oat bin when the slide at the bottom was opened to load a car. Before young Brown could escape he was sucked down out of sight. Workmen shoveled grain for about two hours, but it was not until a hole was cut in the bottom of the bin that the lifeless form of the lad was found.
