Hurt at Roach River.

Ernest Tufts of Cornyille arrived
here on the 1875 train Monday
morning accompanying Fred Libby,
who was unconcious from an injury
sustained the previous Saturday in
the woods at Roach River.
Messrs Libby and Tufts were both
employ ed at Rowell's camp in The
Roach River valley, to the eastward
of Moohehead Lake. Mr.. Libby was
a chopper and on Saturday had felled
a spruce which lodged in the top of a
beech tree. He climbed up the beech
to point about fJrty feet from the
ground and cut away the branches to
let the spruce down. The weight of
the larger tree had sprung the beech
over about six feet and when it was
relieved of Its load it sprang back
into place very suddenly throwing
Mr.. Libby frJm his position i'll the
branches with good deal of violence.
The greatest injury seems to be 10
the back of the head and for the
present the outcome is i'll doubt.
The physicians regard his condition
as very critical.
He was met at the station by his
father, Brice Libby, and, after re-
celving such medical attention as
seemed advisable, was taken To his
home in Cornville.

she was taken to the polytechnical

examined by board of physicians,
who diagnosed her case as cancer of
