On Monday morning Mr.. G. G. Thomas
shipped by rail one of his we'll known make
of buggies to Montana. Thomas is a go>
ahead man and with a fame that has already
reached the Rocky Mountains, we ought not
to DO surprised to bear in the next Eve years
OF tho Emperor of China ordering vehicles
from his celebrated carriage mandatory.
Late last Saturday night, while Mr.. G..
V. Ihomas was inspecting his carriage works
before retiring, he heard some groans that
seemed to proceed from outside the building.
and following tho direction from whence
they came, he found Mr.. J. B. Goheen, one
OF his workmen, lying on the ground in an
lnsenslbie condition. Mr.. G.. has worked for
MIR. Thomas for a number of years, but of
late he has been quito feeble in body, and
1t is supposed that he raised tho window up
stairs, which reaches nearly to the floor, and
from some unexplained cause fell out. His
hands appear to have been bruised by the
window falling on them, and he seems to
suffer from internal injuries produced BY a
TALL of some twelve OF fifteen feet. Mr.
Thomas removed him to comfortable QUAR-.
tiers and called in medical assistance, but his
recovery is regarded as doubtful.
