A number of minor accidents have
occurred recently. A few days ago Mr..
Frank L. Willis had one foot injured by
a log rolling on to it, and the first of
last week Carl, tie little son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Will II. Emery, came near very
serious accident. While sliding with
some other boys the sled rope broke and
the sled being unmanageable two of the
boys jumped, but Carl failing to do so
was pitched headlong with the sled over
the six-foot stone embankment near the
house of l.. A. Dana. The left side of
his face was somewhat scratched and
bruised and severe cut, which bled
profusely, was made a short distance
outside the left eye with the upturned
point of a stake frozen into the snow.
Luckily it was half way between the eye
and temple, as such blow in either of
those places might have proved fatal.
The little fellow had to lose week of
school, but is recovering very satisfac-
torily under the care of DR.. +. Z. Wheel
er. The icy travelling has made careful
walking a necessity and several have
slipped and fallen but without serious
injury aside from lame muscles.
Bert Day had the misfortune to cut off
the end of one finger on his left hand
last Thursday while working at Mann's
mill
