The funeral was under the di.

when party of IL Ehdcavorers and

There were ten coaches crowded full.
so full that many were compelled to

love and power of our God and King

Badly Hurt.

Mr.. Arthur Houchins, a popula,
engineer OH the N. g. W., met with
quite a painful accident Saturday,
the 18th inst.
1t seems as though Mr.. Houch
ms lost his balance and fell from
the engine while it was making
about 80 miles an hour. Mr.
Houchins ia quite a large man
and struck the ground with all the
force his weight would permit.
After striking the ground he rolled
on down into Tug river where
there was about 4 feet of water.
The blood flowed so freely from
the wounds on his head that the
water seemed all bloody for some
distance down the stream.
Although badly hurt the plucky
man got out of the water and sat
down on the bank. The other men
with his crew stopped the train
and run down to assist the unfor-
tunate man and found him sense
less on the river bank. When
Mr.. Houchins was carried back to
the train and after regaininR con.
seriousness he discovered that his
watch was gone. a search was
made fer it and they found it in
the river.
Mr.. Houchins ia one of our best
and most peaceable citizens.
