ACCIDESTs.--The Blackman Bros, who
are doing an extensive logging businGss
here, by means of railroad, aud car
drawn by four large mules, met with
quite an accident last Monday morning
1t appears that they stopped the car on
u small down grade for some purpose,
and the teamster in order to assist the
animals in starting, used lever at the
wheel, when the Car started much faster
than usual, and before he could reach
the brake the team ran away. Speeding
along under full head of steam they
finally came to short curve in the road
when the car jumped the track, and
stopping suddenly threw the logs for
ward with such. force as to strike one of
the mules killing him instantly. The
- damage to the car was slight. The loss
Of the animal is small when compared
to the check put on their work while
another can be procured from distance.
Mr. James Maegher, young man en-
ployed at the logging camp of Mr. Ulmer
