PERHAPS FATALLY INJURED.
Frank Turcott Terribly Crushed Be-
tween Heavy Cart and Granite Block.

Frank Turcott, a young unmarried
man, aged 81, was seriously. il mot
fatally injured, about O'clock Thurs
day afternoon, while hauling stone for
the foundation of the new bridge. He
was driving one of his fathers teams
and hauling big blocks ofgranite from
the station to the bridge. taking two
blocks to load and using a regular
stone dump cart-just a heavy plant
bottom on the rear wheels The front
block had been removed and the rear
one was about to be. The driver was
standing on the cart and started to.
ward the rear end, when it suddenly
tipped up, throwing him and the stone
to the ground. The bottom of the
cart was so short that it cleared the
ground. the rear end going under be-
tween the wheels, and the stretcher,
being released from the front wheels,
going up into the air.
AS the bottom of the cart came over,
Mr.. Turcott's head was caught be-
tween 1t and the stone and severely
jammed His left jaw was broken
some bad scalp wounds inflicted and
his left arm, which was caught in some
way, broken below the elbow. The
blood poured from his mouth and ears,
SO great was the force of the blow,
and it was thought at first that he
had been killed. Drs. Stinchtield, Das-
comb, Taggett and Wadsworth. who
all happened to be nearby, were sum-
moned and the man taken to his home.
His condition was very critical in the
evening and it was thought that there
was but small chance for his recovery.
1t was found that the cause of the
accident was the lack of a key in the
lynch pin in the front axle. 1t is un-
derstood that Mr.. Turcott knew of this
and had been warned about the dam
ger of using the cart without one. but
that he considered it safe enough.
He is a young man of fine character
and much esteemed in the town. He
was formerly employed as messenger
at the telephone office, but of late has
been working for his father, driving
one of the teams in the employ of
Hall & Reed, the contractors on the
bridge work.

Manager Burns is trying to arrange
a game with the Oakland or Win
throp nine for next Saturday, and if
either of these teams come here there
will be a hot and exciting game. In
previous games there has been no adj
mission. Anyone could go there and
see the game and when the hat was
passed it was expected a little would
be put in. for there must be money to
pay expenses of visiting teams. They
do not expect to make anything out
Oft; that is not what they play for.
The players play for the sport of the
game and also to give all the working
class and others a chance to see a lit
tie fun. The games do not commence
until after working hours, 4.30 o'clock
and the manager hopes that those who
go game after game, and Zee q line
clean contest with 25 or 80 cents, Will
not go and be looking for the score
book when the hat is passed. 1t would
only be fair to give what you think it
is worth to see a game of ball. If it is
worth nothing then stay away but
surely any of the games that are played
are worth Is cents. The diamond has
been newly fixed, rolled and scraped,
and other improvements.

Stopped the Criticism.

Senator Nelson of Minnesota is not
a Spanish scholar, and when he was
discussing the statehood bill he made
sad havoc of some of the names he
used. Senator Elkins, who speaks
and writes Spanish readily, enjoyed
the Minnesota mans performance
greatly. Maria Virgin" said Nelson,
pronouncing the name according to
English rules. "Mahreeah Veehil,"
whispered Elkins to his next door
neighbor. "Jicarillas' was given ordi-
nary pronunciation by the man from
the northwest, and Elkins said "Hica-
reeahs" so that Nelson heard him. The
latter looked at the West Virginian for
a moment and then lunged ahead. But
the look was enough; there was no
moro audible criticism.
