w. X, Splan, who drives for W. J.
Wheeler. is wearing a large plaster
close above his right eye, the result of
an accident on Wednesday last. Tie
was taking on a load of lumber IN the
West Superior Lumber yards when a
board from the pile from which he
was loading mis- wagon, instead OF falling
in the sawdust, as the man on the pile
intended, struck the end OF projecting
board, and sprung up like an arrow,
passing over the wagon the end of it
catching him just above the eye, lifting
him off his feet and throwing him off
the wagon. As may be imagined, the
blow was a hard one, and the shock
almost knocked Mr.. Splan senseless.
Bleeding profusely he fastened to Dir.
knoy's office, when it was found that
a hole had been made in his forehead
Dv the corner of the board, and that
he had had a very narrow escape from
instant death. The doctor dressed the
wound carefully and Mr. Splan is ex
pected to be all right shortly.
