The committee was urged to dismiss
the contest upon the L hnical ground
of want Of jurisdiction because no
contest was properly nled in Gilmer
The Patterson attorneys affirmed
that every effort was made to file the
contest in Gilmer, and would have
been so filed had it not been for the
deliberate evasion Of the Gilmer au-
thorties upon whom such notice must
have been served.
The committee refused the plea of
Morris counsel that the sc be re-
manded to the Gilmer county commit
tee, and voted to proceed with the
hearing. This was first blood for the
Patterson side
A motion was then made to refer the
contest to a subcommittee of the state
committee. This was heavily voted
down. and the allegations of Patterson
were read

Fight Squarely
Before Committee.

This put the fight squarely before
the committee on its merits.
The allegations were lengthy. and set
forth sweeping charges Of fraud and
intimidation in registering. receiving
counting and returning the vote Of Gill
mer county. all in such wise that in
the primary Morris was returned a
winner over Patterson by more than
800 votes
But for the fraudulent manipulation
Of Gilmer county. continued the in
dictment against Morris Patterson
would have won over Morris by 35G
votes. at least, and perhaps more, anc
that Gilmer county's vote, counted in
secret by Morris partisan, Bart" Cox
clerk of the court in Gilmor was not
returned until after Cox had been in
formed by Morris that Morris had been
defeated in every other county in the
circuit outside of Gilmer. and that onl,
a big majority from Gilmer would save
Morris. Cox, it was alleged. prompt,
returned the necessary majority next
day
The Patterson allegations were de.
MED in toto by counsel for Morris.

ACCIDENTALLY SHOT

Arthur Oldendorf was accidentally
shot in the right leg while out hunt
ing yesterday forenoon, escaping,
however. with nothing more serious
than a bad flesh wound.
He was out with Perry Bell on the
latter's farm 4 miles north of this
city, when both saw "a deer and be-
gan firing at it, One of the bullets,
after hitting the deer, glanced and
struck Arthur in the leg, although
the latter was SO excited over the
deer that he didn't know he was shot
until he saw the blood Arthur had
some bandages with him for an emer-
gency and the limb was quickly bound
up, so there was but. little loss OF
blood. He escaped very luckily and
the wound will doubtless bother him
but little.
Arthur got the deer.

GOES THRU BRIDGE
ENGINEER LOSES CONTROL OF
TRACTION ENGINE
ONE MAN BADLY INJURED
CAUGHT Between Corn Shredder and
sngine.-A Narrow Escape
From Death

While the traction engine and corn
shredder belonging to Fred Brown.
of Glen Flora, was going up the east
approach 10 the bridge across the
Chippewa river mile east OF Bruce
Monday afternoon, the engineer, Fern
Wagner, of kaley Lake, lost con-
troll of the engine, and as it started
to back down the approach, it broke
through the bridge. The engineer was
caught and crushed between the en-
gine and the shredder, and beside S
having one rib broken and another
torn loose, sustained other severe
internal Injuries
The other members of the crew
had considerable difficulty in extri-
eating Mr. Wagner and it was found
that the throttle lever had been bro
ken when it struck the engineers
body.
Mr.. Wagner was immediately ta-
ken to Bruce for surgical attention
and we are informed will probably
recover.
Had the engine not broken through
the bridge, it is probable that it
would have backed off one side and
no doubt the accident would have
been more serious.

CROSSING ACCIDENT.
AGED MAN Is RUN OVER BY EN-
CINE
|. TAAYER, AGE 81 the VICTIM
Waiting For One Train To Pass and
Struck BY Another

While l.. Thayer, a farmer resld-
ing miles south Of Ladysmith, was
waiting for a train to pass on the
crossing by Hands livery barn, at
about O'Clock Wednesday after
noon, he was struck by the local
switch engine which was backing up
on another track and run over.
He was affoot and had the collar
of his coat turned up high. SO that
ne neither heard or saw the engine
coming until it was upon him.
Both legs were run over below the
knee, the left leg being practically
severed and the right terribly man
gled.
He was Immediately taken to DR..
O'Connors office, where the left leg
was amputated above the knee. There
is chance that the right leg can be
saved.
Although Mr.. Thayer is 81 years
oe age, it is probable that he will
live as he seems to have remarkable
vitality. He has a family Of a wife
and four children.
This terrible accident will no doubt
cost the railroad company enough to
have maintained gates or flagmen at
this and few other Of the most
dangerous crossings for many months.
These crossings are being made still
more dangerous by the addition of
more tracks, and unless something
is done these accidents are sure to
occur more or less frequently.
No marriage licenses were issued
by the county clerk the past week.

Loss In Canadian Farm Acreage

We have been told for several
years of the great annual influx OF
settlers into the Canadian northwest.
We have believed all this and we
have believed, too, the enticing crop
yields that have been reported-ail
calculated TO show that that country
was growing as no other country
ever grew.
However, we are now treated to a
cold bath in the form of the latest
figures of the Canadian government.
In the board of trade columns of
the metropolitan papers Of the 18th
inst, we find statement Of the to-
tai production and yields per acre
Of the Canadian farmers. little
computation develops the fact (if the
figures are correct) that:
The acreage of wheat in 1912 was
652 594 acres less than in 1911.
The acreage Of oats was G,Sl6 less
