Albert Nicholson, young married man
Of this place, met with dangerous acct
dent on Monday morning. While engaged
at ]. ]. Davidson's ware house, packing
sweet potatoes for shipment, he was struck
by heavy post, and crushed to the ground.
The post which was eighteen feet long,
and accordingly thick, had been used as a
prop to support the immense weight on the
upper floor. In shipping potatoes the
weight had been removed from the upper
floor, and the heavy post, not being fasten~
ed at the top, fell, striking Nicholson on
the back of the head, cutting it and render
ing him unconscious. He also received
serious internal injuries, the extent of
which cannot as yet be determined. Much
sympathy is expressed for him and his
wife in this trouble which has so suddenly
come upon them.
