GRANGE NEWS.

The dramatic club are negotiating for
first class scenery to be used on the stage
at the hall.
The griddle cake supper Wednesday
night brought out 237 people, and about 90
tickets were sold for the dance later in the
evening. Everybody seemed to have an
enjoyable time. The proceeds, about $40,
will be used by the dramatic club in pur-
chasing new scenery.
A misunderstanding was the cause which
prevented us from referring in last weeks
paper to the last grange meeting with its
varied program arranged by the overseer,
assistant steward and lady assistant stew
ard, also of the very appropriate harvest ser
mon preached by the pastor of the Uni
versalist church to his congregation and
the visiting grangers. He spoke of the
improvements which had been made upon
the originals in plant, fruit, animal and
everything grown on the farm by careful
selection of varieties and skillful culture.
He alluded to the best efforts of mankind
for improvement, remembering that a good
or evil thought, like good or bad seed, in
creased a thousandfold. The church was
decorated with large display of splendid
fruits and vegetables, which showed there
must have been good seed and careful Gull
tivation to have produced such results.
The next meeting of the grange will be
held next Wednesday evening with pro-
gram arranged by the lecturer. Ceres,
Pomona and Flora will have charge of the
last meeting in this month.

B. A. CLARK's DEATH.
All the Facts Indicate that an Accident
was the Primary Cause.

A representative of one of the accident
insurance companies, who was here this
week, said he found the circumstances I'M
der which Barna A. Clark met his death
much different than he expected. An in
vestigation has revealed facts which many
people regard as showing conclusively that
Mr.. Clark's death was caused by accident.
Charles A. Briggs saw Mr.. Clark drive up
High street little before Z o'clock the
morning of Oct. 1. He stopped in front of
f. A. Wells's house, took bags of potatoes
from an express wagon and carried them
up the steps into Mr.. Wells's cellar,
Mr.. Clark taking the potatoes from the
wagon while he stood on the ground. He
climbed up into the wagon to get bag
that was in the front part, and as he start
ed toward the rear with it the horse gave
sudden jump forward, the wagon appear
ing to be snapped out from under Mr..
Clark instantly. He was thrown into the
gutter, with the bag of potatoes being par
TALLY under him, and his left side upon the
potatoes. To Mr.. Briggs inquiry Mr..
Clark answered that he wasn't much hurt,
but 1t is reasonable to suppose that, with
out realizing it he may have received
shock or strain which was responsible for
his death He might easily have been so
weakened by 1t that he could not manage
his horse, and have fallen and been run
over. The forward and rear wheels of an
express wagon that, with its load, weighed
1900 to 2000 pounds passed over his face,
neck and chest. Many will remember
when Mrs. Hattie Brooks Lamson was
thrown from an express wagon in front of
the Baptist church several years ago. To
all appearances she was not much injured
at the time, but it was found, when an ex-
animation was made two weeks later, that
she had died from the effects of the acct
dent. There was a rupture at the base of
her brain, but the primary cause Of her
death was the accident.
Leaving the morning accident out of the
account 1t is evident TO all who are familiar
with the location where Mr.. Clark's body
was found, as it was TO those first on the
ground after his death became known,
that he did not simply fall dead in the spot
where he CHANGED 10 be standing. Some
thing or other must have happened TO have
caused him to be where he was found, -
or 20 feet below the drinking trough, and
the cup thrown several feet beyond him.
In an apoplectic seizure the body does not
fall over in the position in which Mr..
Clark's body was found. The body col
lapses instead and settles TO the ground in
heap.
We think no one who has acquainted
himself with the facts has any doubt that
an accident in some form or other was the
primary cause of Mr.. Clarks death.
