A pacific coast paper records the
following remarkable accident; ION
Saturday, the 18th inst, a 250 pound
fragment of stump that was blown
out of the ground with giant powder,
near Tacoma, w. T., flew past Mr.
+. Frazier, who was witnessing tho
process from a standpoint 420 feet
away. Ii struck the ground close by
him, just grazing him, yet so gract
was its force that it tore his clothes
from his body, rent his boots so that
his feet were left bare, crushing the
bones of both feet. Mr.. Frazier, who
is60 years Of age, was completely par
alyzed by the blow, and was insensble
for twenty minutes. With the excep-
ton Of being partially crippled in his
feet, he will suffer no serious incon-
venience from the accident"

tempts to suppress the evil are be-
ing INDUCED in. Granting that the
Chinese ara a very undesirable peo-
pie, that their presence is detriment.
