learn that Mr. George r. Cooke met
with a serious accident on Thursday
morning while making an inspection of

cate himself, and his injuries were so ex-
tensive that he could not call for help.

the mill were attracted to the place by
seeing hand above the logs, Mr. Cooke
having adopted this as his only means to
attract attention.
