Ole Martinson was badly injured, at
Mack's logging camp near Elma, Friday.
He was riding a log that was being
pulled by a donkey engine, and was
thrown, the log passing partially over
his body. His leg was broken, and his
hip mashed, and he was taken to the
hospital at Hoquiam, where but little
hope is entertained for his recovery.
Jas. Stewart found it difficult last
week to hire sufficient work horses for
his work, and, with characteristic indie
perdence, jumped on the train, and
went up the country after horses of his
own. He returned Friday with two span
of large work horses, purchased OF Levi
Sargent, on Grand Mound Prairie, one
span OF which is as fine pair of colts as
the most enthusiastic horseman would
want to see.
An alarm OF fire was rung about noon,
Friday, and the department made hur-
ried run to Sixth and Broadway, where
a brush fire seriously threatened the
handsome dwelling of Hiram Ellis. The
fire was extinguished by a bucket brigade
and beating, but the necessity for fire
hydrant in that locality was so en-
phasized that we believe the council will
no longer deny the application for it
that has been before that body for some
time.
The dismantled frame of an old build
ing, on lower G street was burned down
by Supt. Linn this morning in accordance
with the order OF the city council made
Saturday night. The fire that destroyed
the building will be remembered by
residents OF Aberdeen in 1895 as having
a tradegy in convention. A man named
Daily was burned to death at the time,
under what was considered suspicious
circumstances, but which was declared
to have been accidental by the coroner's
jury.
The house OF Mr.. Fienne, on North
river, was totally destroyed by fire
Thursday evening, during the absence OF
Mr.. and Mrs. Fienne. The house and
contents were burned up, and but for
the rare presence of mind of their five
year-old son there would have been loss
OF life. Mr.. and Mrs. Fienne were visit
ing neighbor a short distance away
when the fire originated, and the boy five
years old, had been left at home to
mind the baby, but few months old.
The little chap managed to carry the
baby from the burning house and met
the parents as they returned home.
Considerable uneasiness is felt at Mon
tesano at the continued absence of A. G..
st. Geo. Kemp, the we'll known civil en-
gineer. Mr.. Kemp left Montesano six
weeks ago for his claim, in 2l-9. He
left an order at Veysey's store for sup
plies to be forwarded, via. Aberdeen,
but the order, on examination, proved
to be only an order for goods to certain
amount. AS no articles were specified
the order could not be filled, and the
firm has awaited the further order OF
MIR. Kemp. Kemp is known to have
visited his claim, and stopped at Walter
Achey's, on the Wishkah, two DAYS lat.
ter, saying he was going to Aberdeen,
but has not since been heard of, and his
friends are fearful for his safety.
Mrs. n. w. Bush returned Friday
from the superior lodge d of n. OF
which she had been elected the highest
official, and met with most tlattering
reception, rendered by the order and her
numerous personal friends. A carriage
awaited Mrs. Bush at the depot, and
the members of the local lodge, with
twelve little girls bearing flowers, ac-
companied her to her home. In the
evening reception was given in her
honor in the A. 0. U. w. hall, which
had been beautifully decorated for the
occasion. Gylfe's orchestra furnished
music for the function, dainty refresh
ments were served and most pleasant
social time was had. The Aberdeen
lodge, D. of H., is proud of the honor
conferred upon Mrs. Bush, and Aberdeen
is pleased that the city has been honor
ed by the selection of one OF its NEST re.
spected ladies for this responsible posi-
ton.
