Mr. II. II. Chandler. the dry goods
merchant, met with painful accident
Thursday. While standing on a stool
which he had placed on the counter to
enable him to reach some article
which was even then little beyond his
reach, the stool slipped on the glazed
surface of the mahogany counter, and
he fell to the floor, alighting on his left
side on the legs of the upturned stool
His left shoulder, arm and leg were
sprained and his hip and side SO seri-
ously injured that he has since found
it difficult to get about, but with char
acteristic energy and grit he has con
tinued to attend to his business in the
store as best he could.

a bundle of green bruShwood Fortu-
nately there was no wind or the fire
would have rushed beyond control and
wrought dire disaster to pastures and

started from the stub of lighted Ell

of young men We're seen on the hin
smoking short time before the flames
attracted attention.
