William Leavy, while engaged in
moving a piano from Cademartori's
store to d residence, was severely in
jured. With four or five others, he
was taking the instrument from
Thrasher's wagon to \. Schrader's,
when its entire weight fell on him,
smashing his foot badly. He was at
once conveyed to his apartments above
Green S saloon, where DR.. Schacht at
tended him. The foot WAS swollen to
double its size, but fortunately no bones
were broken. 1t will take weeks before
the victim of this accident will be able
TO do any work.

a lnau named Ed Hulig was arrested
uear Plymouth last week by sheriff
Gregory on suspicion OF being concern
ed in several petty larcenies in that
vicinity. He was accused of stealing a
shotgun and other articles. He for
merly worked at the Bay State mine,
but was discharged on the 9th of July.
On being questioned he finally admitted
the thefts, and also owned up to start
ing the grass fire near the Bay State
niue, which caused SO much loss of
property two weeks ago in that region.
He says he did it for revenge to get
even for being discharged. He was
examined for insanity Wednesday by
Drs Gall and Endicott, who said he
was simple minded, but could not pro-
nounoe him insane. Whether a Grim
inal charge will be laid against him is
undetermined at present.
A fire started in the hills near the
Defender mine last week. The situation
looked so threatening that the mine
owner, Geo. Joyce, ceased mining
operations and called ali hands out to
fight fire. With other neighbors they
worked hard all day, and managed to
keep the flames from doing much dam
age. An incident deserving of mention
is the fact that the school teacher of
that district, Miss Ada Phillips, rem
dered valuable service in carrying
water all day to the men at work on
the fire line. All able-bodied men
and boys we're needed at the front, and
this heroine cheerfully assisted in
keeping them there by tramping to and
fro with natures beverage, without
which they could not have continued
their trying task.
One Of the hottest days ever expert
enced in this part of the state was last
Wednesday. In an unexposed place
the thermometer at the Ledger office
indicated ITO degrees. In the doorway
of the express Office the mercury reach
ed liz. At the lone depot the coolest
place found in the building was l13. \
seorching hot wind from the north
west prevailed all day, making it all
the more distressing. Notwithstand-
ing this high temperature, there was
no serious Inconvenience in working in
the sun. 1t was nothing Ike as pros
trating as 100 would be in the east.
