but that he gave the champion one Of the
hardest battles of his life. but Graney did
not see where he had sufficient advantage
to entitle him 90 the decision. Young
Corbett was satisfied with Graneys ruiz

A GUN EXPLOSION.
A Frenchman Near Olga Narrowly Escaped
Death Sunday afternoon.

Sunday afternoon Ed. Lahair, young
man working on the farm of E. Thibo-
deau, north of the Little Pembina river,
near Olga had his left hand badly in
jured and narrowly escaped death from
the explosion of Winchester rifle while
shooting at flock of wild geese which
were flying overhead. The force of the
explosion was of such as to shatter
the whole hand, necessitating the am
putation of two fingers and the thumb.
The magazine of the rifle was loaded
with six cartridges at the time and the
conclusion caused by the explosion OF
the one in the barrel discharged the five
which remained in the magazine. No
thing but the skill of Drs. Porter and
Mowatt, who dressed the hand of the
injured man on Monday, prevented the
setting in of blood poison. What may
have caused the explosion of the rifle is
unknown and it is marvelled at that the
discharge of the cartridges in the
magazine didn't result in Lahair's death.
