Little Edgar, the Is months old son
of Mr.. and Mrs. J. II. Jordan, died
Monday evening from the effects of an
injury received by falling from a high
char. The little one lived but As hours
after the fall inflammation set in from a
rupture, aud was the cause of death.
The meeting at the county jail last
Sunday was attended by two hundred
or more. The prisoners gave vent to
their pent.up feelings, aud one Mike
McInerney, awaiting trial charged with
arson, read lengthy paper on temper
ance.
Lee Guy and W J. Edgar engaged in
a friendly wrestling match on the floor
of the old storehouse just east of the
Headlight saloon Monday, and as a con-
sequence Edgar is rejecting over the
event and nursing a broken leg. The
men had been drinking some, and to see
who would pay for the drinks the de-
cided to wrestle. Edgar won the first
fall, and Guy got mad, He threw Edgar
with great force and Ia the fall Edgar's
leg came in contact with a heavy plank
and was snapped off between the knee
and ankle. The injured man will have
ample time to reflect and study the mer-
it's and dement's of booze.

On NJ, nday last John Anderson, an
uncle of the 10y killed by the log roll
ing oyer him last week, met with an
accident which laid him up for repairs
which will take ONE time to complete.
He was hauling logs to one of the saw
mills and in going down a small! hill the
sled ran onto the horses and the tugs
came unfastened and he was thrown off
the load at the bottom of the hill; the
sleighs passed over him. AS luck would
have 1t he fell so that the runners did
not pass over him but the benches Of
the seds were so low that in going over
him he was badly bruised and came very
near being killed. Persons who wit
messed the accident thought for few
moments that he had been killed, The
team after freeing themselves from the
sled ran away.
On Wednesday of last week Peter An
derson's thirteen year old son WIS killed
by log rolling off the sled and over
him. causing death instantly Mr.. An
derson with his were engaged in
hauling logs to the saw mill and at the
time of the accident had one log on the
sled and the boy was holding block of
wood under the log on the sled while
the father rolled Oh another. When the
second log rolled on to the sled it struck
the one already loaded with such force
that it pushed it over the block being
held by the boy and he was CAUGHT un-
der it and smashed to death, Only a
few months ago the lad became the vic
tim of an accident which nearly caused
his death and from which he had only
partly recovered, and was just getting
able to be about. The first accident
was caused by the explosion of giant
powder when at school; other boys filled
a cap with giant powder and he struck
it with a hammer, and the explosion
which followed filled the body with pieces
of the metal and came very near causing
his death. The funeral of the unfortu-
nate boy took place iast Wednesday.
