Events of a Day in the City on
the st. CroiX.
DR.. o. A. Waiter, one of Stillwater's
most prominent citizens, died at II
o'clock Tuesday night of inflammation
of the bowels. There are very few in
this city whose death would be mourned
by as many as that of DR.. Waiter, who
has always been all influential resident
and thorough physician. Although yet
comparatively young in years, he had
by hard study obtained an excellent
medical education, and his practice in
this city during the past twelve years
has been very successful. He realized
Sunday evening that his chances for re-
cOvery were very poor, and was resigned
to his fate. He remainedf conscious
until the last, and almost his parting
words were a request that no flowers be
brought to the house after his death.
HIS illness only lasted four days, but
during that time he suffered intense
pain. Many sympathiZing tears were
shed by residents of this city yesterday
with whom he had affiliated in the every
day walks of life and to whom the news
of his sudden death was a sad blow.

CroiX Drug company. He was born in
Montreal in October, 1855. He obtained
a thorough medical education at Vic

with high hOnorS. Soon after his ar
rival in this city, twelve years ago, he
was married to Miss Myrna Garfield,
who, with a son and daughter, survives
him. The funeral will not be held until

John Kilkelly, teamster employed
by the st. CrOiX Lumber company, at
South Saltwater, was seriously injured
in runaway accident at that village
Tuesday evening. Kilkelly was driving
large span of horses which caused the
tragic death of Dave Robinson, of this
city, little more than two months ago.

and the horses became frightened,
throwing him to the ground. One of
the wheels of the wagon passed over
his left arm, fractuling both bones
above the wrist. He received other
painful injuries.

"
low stage of water it is impossible to
tell how long the boom will remain open.
Several million feet of logs have been
sluiced at the Nevers dam, but the river
is so low that large percentage of the
logs are stranded before they can reach
the boom. The continued low stage of
water makes business on the lake very
quiet. They will sluice again to-day at
the NeverS dam, but it is hard to tell
how many of the logs will arrive at the
boom.
