Lawson Fletcher was brown from his

ing near the upper end OF the depot Mon
day afternoon and was quite seriously in
jured. He received deep cut in the fore
head and W dragged over the rails. The
horse which he was driving was, fortu-
nately, not inclined to run and this fact pre-
vented a more serious accident as Mr..
Fletcher cluDg to the reins until he saw
hat his no 50 was not going to run. Tue
rails at this crossing are some two or three
inches higher than the plsnks in the Cross
ing and in making the turn, to allow the
other team % pass, the forward runner of
the delivery sleigh, in which Mr. Fletcher

The concert Saturday evening was the
musical event of the season. The chorus

Quoting the chorus work. The appreci-

eddy by the vigorous applause which the
several numbers received. Mr.. Hans Kro-
mold, the cello player, has few equals and
still fewer suDeriors, and Mr.. Chapman at
the piano showed himself master OF that
instrument. The solosts, Miss Randall
and Miss Moore will receive a warm well
come should Mortified people ever be
fortunate enough to have the pleasure OF
listening to them again. 1t is the general
impression that the youngest member Of
the company, Miss Truax, the whistler,
carried off the honors, il honors are to be
given. How any human being can so close
ly initiate the different bird voices aud
songs as Miss Truax did is wonder to
everyone who listened to her as she
whistled THE Mocking Bird"
