From the lie Sucur Nems we clip
the following account Of a shocking
accident, which occurred at Lake Wash.
ingtOn, on "Wednesday of last week:
"Levi Chapman of the firm of Chap
man & Hsmmel, was saving lumber at
the mill, WITHOUT any help at the time,
except his little boy IL years old, who
was carrying off lumber. He had com
menced saving large elm log, and had
stabbed one side, turned the log down
and took off the first slab. 1t being
large one the boy could not get it away,
when Mr.. Chapman, in stepping across
the saw frame to remove the slab, In
some way tell with his head on the saw,
which was running with full head of
steam, and nearly one-half of his skull
was literally sawed of, so that the brains
which were terribly laccrated, fell part
tally out. The right shoulder and arm
clear down to the hand were also terri
BILE mangled. The little boy with
great presence of mind, sprang and
caught his father, and help him from
falling under the saw until help arrived
from the house near by. Strange as it
may seem, the poor man survived in a
cOmatOse state from 9 p. IN. until $50
the same evening, when he breathed his
last"

Probable Intentions of a FOOtpad -
How a Bay Lane Man Confronted a
RObber and Put Him to Flight.
\ night or two ago, while Mr.. J. NJ.
Henderson was closing his place of bust
ness on Bay street lane, between Bull
and Drayton streets, he narrowly escaped
being made the victim of an assault if not
a robbery. Generally when Mr.. Hender-
son closes his place for the night he
eXtinguishes the lights and then locks
the outside door behind him and goes
TO his home by the way of Bull street. On
the night referred to, however, he left one
light burning and went TO the front door
and looked up, then went down the lane
and pulled the front door to without fast
ening it. As he did so he perceived man
above the medium height coming directly
upon him from the opposite side of the
lane. Mr.. Henderson ordered him to halt
but the would be intruder seemed de
termined fellow and wouldn't obey orders.
Mr.. Henderson kicked the door open, when
the light flashed upon the stranger,
and he Immediately ran down
Bay lane towards DraytOn
street. falling over a barrel and some
boxes in the mud in the hurry of his
flight. The calls of Mr.. Henderson to the
would be robber attracted the attention
of some of the operators in the Western
Union telegraph office to his assistance,
but by the time they reached
the scene the fugitive had
disappeared 1t is believed the character
had one or two cOnfederates in the lane,
as some suspicious characters had been
seen earlier in the night watching the
premises. Mr.. Henderson had at the time
about 5000 on his person, and there is no
doubt but that if he had eXtinguished
all the lights and locked the door
after him, as was his custom, he could
not have escaped being the victim of not
only a brutal assault but of daring rob
