Killed By Falling
Limb.
j. D. Frazier Killed While
Cutting Limbs in the
Catholic Cemetery
This Morning

]. D. Frazier, aged about "a
years was killed about 9::30 this
morning while cutting limbs in
the Catholic Cemetery. George
Dimmick was the only eye wit
ness to the terrible accident
and was unable to help the man
in anyway to extricate himself
from beneath the fallen limb.
He lived fully ten minutes
after the limb had fallen
and talked to Mr.. Dimmick un-
til about one minute before his
life was crushed out. He dir
ected the movements of Mr..
Dimmick to try to lift the
limb off his body and when
this could not be done he told
him to get a pry and try to
lift it just a little and he could
then be able to help him some
with his free foot. His last
words were, 81 am gone George,
and no one is to blame"
Mr.. Dimmick had only been
near where Mr.. Frazier was work
ing for a few minutes when the
accident happened. Mr.. Fraz-
ier was telling him about his
new home two miles north of
this city and was saying how
glad he was that he had left
town and had taken the country
life. He then asked Mr.. Dim
mick the time so he could set
his watch and just as he COM
4 pleted winding his watch they
both heard the limb break from
1.-The tree and both jumped in
opposite directions. Mr.. Fraz.
ier was caught and pinned by
the fallen limb on the top of an
old stump. Mr.. Dimmick said
he tried to lift the limb but it
was more than three men could
accomplish. Mr.. Dimmick
then tried to cut the limb with
an axe bit was 50 nervous that
he couldn't even raise the axe
He tried every conceivable
way to save him but of no use.
Ell Frazier, a brother, who is
a drayman in this city was noti-
| fled and he with several friends
drove to the cemetery and in a
few minutes had the limb cut
and had the body out. He was
taken TO the Hennessey under
taking establishment where
Drs. Tamisiea and Tamisiea
pronounced him dead.
The young wife was sent fo,
and the news of her husbands
death was not confided to her
until she reached this city.
Mr.. Frazier was born in this
county on a faam near this city
and has always lived here. He
was married to Miss Mable Col.
Inns about two years ago and
had always made a god and
faithful husband. He was q
hard working young man ard
was just beginning to get
start in life.
He leaves a wife and a moth.

Very Peculiar Isn't 1t?

the members of the legislatures
in some of the States, and even
of Congress sometimes, as we
read of in the public journals
of the country, and intact, as
we have witnessed it in the past
We refer to the closing ceremo-
nies vf these bodies. IT. would
seem that every consideration
of reason and common sense, at
such a time, would dictate a
more sedate and solemn action
on the part of members, many
of whom are about to retire,
never to return again, to wit
ness their actions in the closing
hours of such bodies as we re-
fer to is, to say the least, most
unreasonable. No such thing
as Order can be sustained by
the presiding officer throwing
books, papers, rules, and every
conceivable article in reach, at
each other, in a very promiscu-
GUS manner, to the disgust of
more sensible members-s,lch
acting would disgrace a Digger
Indian. Is it necessary to act
in this unreasonable manner in
the closing hour Of a legislative
body? Dignity, reason, anl a
due regard for the feelings of
others demands a radical re-
form be made ION this subject,
and that members conduct the
closing hours of all legislative
bodies in a reasonable and Dig
nified manner. We are satisfied
that no member of such a body
of men can afford to enter into
these riotous proceedings in the
closing hour, or intact, at any
other time.
A body of men selected to
make laws for the government
[of the people should set the ex-
ample of Order, and not so act
as to influence the young men to
believe that riotous conduct, in
any place, is honorable or neces-
sary. There is no more good
reason for dispensing with good
order in the closing hours of a
legislative body, than there is
for such conduct in any other
place or body of men. We
are no special admirer of the
veteran Speaker of Congress,
10. Cannon, but when we COM
pare his dignified conduct, at
the closing hour of the late
Congress, with that of many Of
the State legislatures, he stands
like a beacon light in a dark
night.
The people who read the clo-
sing scenes of some of the leg
islatures feel di gusted with
the rouly spirit lnifested by
the retiring law makers, and
cherish the hope that all such
foolish conduct will b. dispens-
e1 with in the future. Let it
be forever discontinued as un-
worthy the high charcter of IT, e
American people.

Butter Boxes Made of Straw.

In future the boxes containing but
ter shipped from Queensland to Great
Britain are to be made of straw, and
a G5O,O00 company has been formed
to work the business. Butter boxes
hitherto have been made of pine, but
the drain upon this timber, owing to
the heavy exports, have been so Sc
we're that the wood is rapidly going
up in price. In one month (March.
1909 over $4,000 boxes of butter from
Queensland arrived in England
1850 tons, worth G140,O00. In the
new box a mixture of kaolin and straw
Is used. It can be produced and sold
for Is. At present 100000 boxes are
used in Australia annually, costing
G200,000. The new box will save
the dairy industry about 100000 a
year, as the material for manufactur-
ing the box can be grown in the pad
dock which supports cow. 1t
weighs about 10k pounds, being damp
proof and odorless.
