Friday morning. He bad gang of Cinnamon

Being in hurry to get them unloaded and the
lsborers not working fast enough. Mr.. Quinn
attempted to assist in the removal of one of
the rails. The rail being on "skids' moved
easily, in fact too easily. and caught his, left
hand between the heavy weight and the car,
decorating one of his fingers very badly, and
bruisin the balance considerably. He came
to town and had his hand dressed, then repaired
tc the scene of the disaster, and will see that
those Mongolians do their duty from now on
without his assistance. singular fact, in
connection with this accident was that the fin
ger hurt has received injuries within the past
year whereby the nail has come of four times
and this will be the fifth. 1t was suggested to
Mr.. Quinn that it would save further appre
hension to have the member cut off. but he
seems not to have fully comprehended the
suggestion. ..
