On Monday farmer named james
Conway, living about four miles south OF
Reynolds, in company with two of his
neigbbors. came to Reynolds to buy load
of lumber for the Catholic church, near
Pre- emption. He remained in Reynolds
until about noon and then started with
his load OF lumber, himself seated on top.
One hour later bis dead and mangled
body was discovered by the roadside out
side of Reynolds. His head was mashed
to jelly. portions of his body were terrib-
~ lacerated, and his face almost unrecog-
nizable. The origin of the accident is I'm
known, positively, though it is supposed he
fell from the wagon and was crushed to
death. The horses, strange to say, were
standing quietly only few feet from
where he lay, the lines dragging the
ground, showing that he had held ON I'M
til the rude shock tore them from his
grasp. The deceased was hard working

olds and Presumption and had host oil
warm friends. He leaves a wife and
children to mourn the untimely death of q
