A Shocking Fatality.

This community was shocked
last Saturday morning by the an
nouncement that nne Of our we'll
known and most respected citizens,
Manuel Sebastian. had been killed
by the fall of a tree while return
ing from Florence with his freight
team Coroner Nickel and jury
hastily left for the scene and found
the fatality had occurred about
two miles on this side Of Dead
Horse spring. There is q curve in
the road at this point with the
stump of a tree in the wheel track
and in trying to avoid this stump
Mr.. Sebastian turned out and in SO
doing struck on the opposite side
another tree against which was
leaning the rotten trunk of a dead
pine about six inches in diameter.
The vibration evidently dislodged
this dead tree which fell in such q
position as to strike Mr.. Sebastian
in the back of the neck and knock
ing him from his seat to the ground
and pinning him to the earth with
a dislocated neck, causing instant
death. The team went on about
two miles when they hung up on a
pine tree. The body was found a
few minutes after the fatality, but
life was then extinct. The jury
returned verdict accordingly

children to mourn the loss OF

Our Public School.

As our school is about to begin
another years work, We take this
opportunity to say a word to the
patrons. Your hearty cooperation
is necessary to insure success. To
this end we would say to those ex-
pecting their children to attend at
all during the year, that each
pupil should be present the first
day and continue being present
each day throughout the year.
They cannot be expected to do the
entire work of the grade if they
lose few weeks at the beginning
of the year, neither need it be ex-
pected that they will remain with
their class when they are habitual-
ly absent.
Those pupils who were in atten-
tendance but part of last year will
be promoted to the next grade only
upon their giving satisfactory evil
dence that they are able to do the
work. Before commenting upon
the work of the school, please call;
we will be glad to show you what
we are doing.
Any questions or difficulties aris-
ing, please consult the teachers in
charge of pupil, or the principal
The kindest consideration will be
shown to all.
Again we ask you for your co
operation and thank you for the
evidences of appreciation showr
for our efforts OF last year.
Respectfully submitted,
/ S, d. STEININGER.
