Serious Accident Narrowly kyeried.

\ serious accident was narrowly
avcrted at the court house, Monday
afternoon. Six of the painters who are
working on the repairs now in progress
there had gone to one part of the stag
ing in the court room. Their combined
weight was too much and the staging
went down. Fortunately none We're
seriously hurt. only two, Frank Kit
tredge and A. Smith, being unable to
continue work.
The men were a sight through as
soon as they had picked themselves up.
They would have made good characters
for Buffalo Bits Wild West Show, for
they were covered from head to foot
with paint. one man showed com
plete covering of white while another
one had all color Of the rainbow.
As soon as the spectators found that
none were seriously injured. they could
not help but laugh at the grotesquc
figures presented. 1t was very fortu-
nate that none Of the flying paint
struck where it would do any damage
to the court room.
