Wright as special constable to look
after the liquor shipped to Great FAILS

always had a good field for their oper-

fined to his bed as the result Of dis

legs. Mr.. Rawlings was in the act of
taking down the mail sacks which had
been placed on the crane at the depot
for vestibule train No. 81 when he slip
pey and fell to the ground. The steps
were probably slippery from the re-
cent sleet, this being responsible for
the fall. Friends went to his assist
ance and he was removed to his home.

injury therefrom. He will probably be

done by the other members Of the
