Lockwood 60. aged about 30, dropped
dead at the mill gate, Tuesday morn
ing. while on his way to work. Cnro-
nor Edwards was summoned To view

trusted employe of the Lockwood
mills He lived a few moments after

by the train. He fell a distance Of
about 30 feet into comparatively shall

ing along Drummond avenue when his
horse suddenly SHE'D and threw him out
near the gravel pit. He sustained 4
fracture of the collar bone.
These four accidents came thick and
fast, yesterday morning. and for a
time it looked as if half the popuIa-
ton of the city was to suffer some
kind of an injury before the forenoon
was over. With the exception of the
sudden death, the accidents were not
very serious. and it is believed that
all three of the injured men will rapid
