Sad Accident

Last Friday, while two brothers, SOM of
Mr.. Franklin West. formerly ofth;s place,
were skating on a slough near st. Joseph,
the ice broke and the younger boy, elev-
en- years old, went down. The elder
brother, a boy of fourteen years of age,
vent to rescue him, but he too, fell in,
and alter clinging to the ice some time,
sunk to rise no more. Several men,
who were taking out ice, attempted to
rescne the latter, but the ice WAS too
rotten to bear their weight, and they
failed. The bodies were not recovered
till the next day, and on Sunday the
boys were brought to this city and bur-
led in the cemetery here. both being
inferred in the same coffin, Rev. Mr..
Gillies, of the Methodist Church, ofici-
ating at the burial services at the grave.

Dry Goods and Groceries Lively.

Since the other grocery houses bought
out Mr.. Prices stock. Mr.. j. b. Russell
has taken up the idea that a good oppor-
tunity is presented for entering into the
grocery line, in addition to his dry goods
business, and he at once took steps to
occupy, Prices old stand and open out
in the proper style. This was met with
a check, from the fact that W. \.
Price had been ''bound up in w%ritin'"
not to let his store for that purpose
within a certain time-or something to
that effect. Joe Russell is not to be put
off 50, however, and has laid in a COM
plete line of groceries at his old stand,
where he invites all who want grocer
les as cheap as Price or anybody else
ever dared to sell, to give him a call.
Joe means business, and isn't going to
be cried down.
