League meeting was held at Oughtcr-
ard. All the districts around We're well

nemara division, Mr.. O'Maliey, who is
spending his vacation Visiting his con-
stituents, drove over from Galway
with Mr.. John Dillon, and both gentle
men received hearty welcome. : 1t is

temporary meetings, that a collection
for the general election fund was made

John H. Joyce, seconded by Mr.. O'Sul-
Ivan, the chair was, taken by Mr..
Thos. Fahy Naughton, and the meet
ing was Addressed BY Mr. Dillon, Mr.

turf rail, and across the rail board
was laid as seat. Kelly having in
vited the deceased to a seat, both men
went into the cart and sat on the
board, one at each end. On the way
Kelly overbalanced himself and tum-
bled out of the cart, carrying the turf
rail and seat with him in his fall. The
