The funeral Of Miss Mary Stuart,
daughter of John Stuart, who died of fe-
yer on Sunday morning last, was attend
ed on Tuesday.
Several events went laundering past
us last week. Mitchell Seymour lost a
good work horse, and day or two after,
while chopping cord wood, amputated a
favorte toe. Ellis Taylor, who has driv.
en- a quarry team for ID l.. Kent Il Co.
nine years without scratch, drove one
wheel Of block wagon weighing over
two tons over Que foot No serious
damage was done, though he guesses il
had bad on his congress CATERS the result
would have been still less satisfactory
A car load of coal while being hauled up
on the railroad of j. X. Freddy q Son,
jumped the track just above the lrestle
work and went over and down about ten
feet. The damage to the car was trifling
and nobody was hurt. Michael Ward
of North Dorset has left town, and il is
said that some of those who buy and sell
and get gain have their "private griefs."
An employe of HOLSTER, Tyrel Il Co.,
while running circular saw by the pale
light of the "silvery moon," blooded a
finger or two.
