In the Heralds write-up of the mining
float that participated in the carnival
parades, mention of the heroic action Of
Roy Mcdonald was unintentionally omit
ted Mr. Mcdonald drove the six horses
attached to the float, and when the
structure caught fire during Fridays
parade, he heroicly remained at his post,
knowing that if his teams should run
away, with such crowds OH every nand,
that several hundred people would &c

field of battle, neither did he bleed and
die for his country but he was hero,
all the same.
