Joseph Boutin, while saving wood
pulp in portable saw mill at Island
Pond adjusted inc belt on the wheel and
failed To notice that his froek was
caught in the betting. When the machin-
cry was started the man was drawn into
the shafting throwing out his arms TO
brace and free himself. AT the first
revolution Of the wheel one arm was
broken at the elbow AT the next tnrn
the arm was broken between the elbow
and shoulder, and literally wrenched
of and fell to the floor Boutin crawlei
out of the machinery and walked con-
siderable length before he realized that
his arm was gone. He was taken home
and tho remaining section Of his arm
was amputcd. Boutin has nine children
at st. Julie, Que. 1t is believed that he
will recover.

had returned such an answer when
it was asked to lower rates Fancy the
company saying: rs not Memphis

good argument certainly for those re

gree of this good thing Germany is

THE RAILROAD RATE LAW.

Yesterday the new law which seeks
to regulate railroads went into effect
and what il will do to the public and
to the railroads will probably be de
monstrated in very little while with
respect TO some practices that have
been common to both. II is said that
some one requesting an opionion
from the commission as TO what the
law required is given case, wa told
to Ego ahead according to your under
standing of the law if you are wrong
well tell you Commenting on the
law yesterdays Chicago Tribune had
the following:
The railroad rate law goes into
effect today The interstate com
merce commission is at liberty 10 exer-
else the most important right grant
ed by the law, that OF reducing a rate
which It considers unfairly high and
prescribing a lower and just rate.
That is the feature of the law which
