to accommodate his rapidly increasing

A logger named j. Bosford, working
in Simpsons camp, near Kamilchie,
met with serious accident on Mon
day last. While walking on log, his
foot slipped and he fell, striking the
back of his neck on a doublc-bitted AK,
which was sticking in the log, cutting
in to the spine, and glancing to one
side, severed the large muscle of the
neck and barely escaped cutting the
jugular vein, this vein, as we'll as the
windpipe, being exposed to view. Mr.,
Bosford was brought to this city the
same day and placed in the hospital,
where the wound was dressed by DR..
Flanagan. Although it was an ugly
cut it is thought he will soon recover.
