SeriOuS Accident.

Wednesday morning W. H. Kyle, an EN-.
ploye at the establishment OF the Bennett
Bros, neal the depot met with a serious
accident, the wonder being that it did not
terminate fatally. He was working at the
elevator, hosting a ton of potatoes, when
it broke and descended, catching the unfor-
tunate young man under it. In attempt
ing to escape Kyle Knocked over a bag of
potatoes which, falling under the elevator,
probably saved his life. As it WAS, he sus-
tanned a dislocation of the ankle, a fracture
OF the lower portion of the1eg just below the
knee and was also injured about the spine
and head. Medical assistance was imme-
diately summoned and the man made as
comfortable as possible although he is SUI
iering greatly. Tits not thought the wounds
will prove fatal.

A Blaze at South Butte.

Last night at 1920 O'Clock smoke began
issuing from the oilhouse OF the Utah and
Northern Railroad, situate about fifty feet
from the passenger depot. As soon as the
alarm was given several engines were i'm
medialy run up with tanks Of water, and
the employees of the shops formed IL bucket
brigade. By very hard work they saved
the building. The cause Of the fire is UNI
known, as it originated in u box OF waste,
which was setting in the corner Of the Oil
house, but it is probable that somebody
threw a cigar stump into the building. or
perhaps from spontaneous combustion.
The damage was light.
