creek, met with sad accident. He was
working in the mountains with his father,
cutting timber, when he slipped and buried
the AK he was working with in his left in
step, cutting through and crushing all the
bones except one, and severing several large
bIoodvessels. The loss of blood was very
great, before his surgeon, DR.. Bingham could
reach him. and he consequently very weak
His wounds are quite serious and may resnlt
in the loss OF his foot or portion of it. We
hope he Will recover. We sympathlze with
his family very much His father has always
sustained the reputation of being an lndns-
trious honest man, but his age prevents him
from working very hard and his boy Lee Was
a great help to him.

His party was out in all the late storms, and
as amattcr of course had a rough time. In

colony of beavers engaged in building
dam, and brought away number Of beaver
chips" These chips look exactly as though
they had been cut with = dull AK, and go to
show that the wood chopper must have taken
