Mr.. Chadwick, a section boss on
the railroad, who lives a short distance
below the depot, met with a painful
though not serious accident, on Thurs.
day morning last. In company with
some track hands, he was going down

The torpedo exploded, and a piece of
it, perhaps the size of a silver quarter,
was blown into the calf of Mr.. Chad
wick's leg. The wound was probed,

he disposed of his entire interest in
what is now the best part of the best
oil territory known. He missed be-
coming millionaire, narrowly; and
we would just about as soon Hobart
had made his everlasting fortune as
any man we know of-excepting our
self.
