back in the forsI Of lever which raised the
log from the ground, and was to have been
chained in the center of the log; but the
man in whose charge the coupling was, by
some means, let go Oft, and Couwell, who

of the blow, made tremendous by the weight
of the log upon TIE coupling He was
knocked senseless, his head was badly cut,
and he was severely injured internally. DR..

wound and did what they could to render
the young man comfortable. A short time
