premature leaving Wayne Bailey who

piece some fifty feet from the eannons'
mouth blackcned, mangled, and sense
less form. Both bis hands were torn of |
aud il is thought that both his eyes are
lost The chances for his recovery are

feel this terrible misfortune deeply. This
accident has cast a shade of grief over
the whole town, and there ia a universal |
and heartfelt sympathy for him and his |

learn that Mr.. Bailey will probably re-
cover and will not lose the use of his eyes.
