Nearly all the trees around the town
park are dead. Various causes are as
signed for their death. Some attribute
it to worm which has been found near
the roots of the trees; some to too
much water and water kept on till late
in the fall, thus keeping the trees green
and preventing them from hardening
for winter cold, and others say it was
our long. cold winter. Whatever the
cause, it is descouraging to the town
government and citizens alike to think
of what poor luck Meeker has had in
the tree line. Nothing seems to be sure
but the native cottonwood.

The Accident to DR.. Freuch.


AS we went to prsss last Saturday
morning word reached this ONCE of the
serious accident to DIR. French. AT the
time it was feared that the accident
might terminate fatally. and as we did
not wish to alarm his folks In the east, at
the doctors request, The HERALD
made no mention of the accident.
AS everybody in this vieiaity is aware,
he fell in faint Friday night about 10
o'clock while sitting at table in his
room reading aud upset the lighted
lamp. Instantly the room was ablaze,
and almost as quickly, it would seem.
the doctor recovered and put the fire
out and gave the alarm. He was
terribly burned about the head and
hands and it was feared one eye was
irreparably injured. He received
prompt medical attention, but his
friends wisely concluded that owing to
the nature Of his Injuries Denver was
the only place he could receive proper
treatment, SO Messrs. +. E. Sheridan
and Charley Taylor started out with
him early Saturday morning. Onreach-
ing Denver, Drs. Parkhill and Melville
Black, the former oDe Of the best sur
geOns in the United States. and the
latter at the he'd of his profession
as an eye surgeon, were awaiting the
patient. A careful examination showed
that the doctors injuries were not as
bad as his Meeker friends thought and
latest advices from Denver are very
satisfactory. 1t is thought his eye will
be saved ana the burns win not scare
his face to any noticeable extent. This
will be gratifying news to DOCTORS
Meeker fnends.
The accident cast a gloom over this
community, where DIR. French was a
great favorite on account Of his genial
ways and high medical attainmen,s.
We all hope to see him with US again in
a few weeks.
