Ed. Sanders Badly Hurt

Last Saturday morning Ed.
Sanders. who was digging a cis-
tern for l.. M. Dotson, a few
miles south of Elgin, was hor-
ribly mutilated by an explosion
of dynamite. 1t seems he had
placed-two charges Of abont a
half stick each and only set one
off, thinking that the jar from
it would be sufficient to ex-
plode the other. Here is where
he made a sad mistake. After
the explosion, thinking that both
charges had exploded, he went
down into the cistern and went
to work with the pick. While
at this, he struck the unexpected
charge, possibly the cap. and the
inevitable results followed, blow
ing Mr.. Sanders full of rock and
clay and lacerating him almost
beyond recognition.
This happened about ten
o'clock, and DR.. Gamble. of
Elgin; and DR.. Joyce. of Fletcher
were both Immediately called
and did all in their power for
the unfortunate man. We under
stand that there is hopes of saw
ing one eye.
Mr.. Sanders has a host of
friends who deeply deplore the
accident and sympatize with him
in his painful misfortune.

career would soon have come to
an abrupt close had we not
kept him moving and fastened a
stick in his mouth so he could
belch.
A very sad and serious acci-
dent happened to Ed. Sanders
last Saturday. He was at work
digging a cistern for L. NJ. Dot
son, and had placed two half
sticks of dynamite to blow out
the rock. One stick was lighted,
and the jar caused by it was
expected to explode the other:
but it failed to do 30, and when
Ed struck with the pick, after
the explosion, he hit the cap of
unexploded stick. The dirt and
rock struck him full in the face
when the second charge went
off, and completely disfgured it.
The flesh was severly lacerated
and bruised beyond description.
Joe Carter who was assisting in
the work rendered valuable aid.
and drew Ed out of the cistern.
Doctors Joyce and Gamble were
and diagnosed his
condition as extremely precari-
GUS; but with proper care It may
not prove fatal. The strangest
part Of it all is the fact that the
victim did not lose his nerve at
any time, but was cool and col
lected throughout. In fact he
held the rope while Mr.. Carter
drew him out of the cistern.

 The above is taken from the Whitehorse star. Speaking of the trail generally the Star says:
 So far as accommodating other than light loads is concerned, the overland trail, Whitehorse to Daw- son. is in bad shape While there is not sufficient snow for sledding, there is too much for wheels, but the latter are being discarded for the former. The stage of Wednes- day went cut on runners, but the one from Dawson which arrived yes terday morning came in on wheels. The wheels are being discarded for the simple reason that their con- tinued use will prevent the trail being used for runners as long as the former are used.
 Thus far, no freight for Dawson, aside from two loads of express freight, Christmas goods, has gone forward since the close of navi- gation and nothing will go in the line of freight until there is more snow. At present there is only two inches Of snow on the south half of the trail and it is so light and fluff fy that the runners go through to the gravel.

 This is the second time that Ever ett has declared for the single tax. A year ago it voted on the question and adopted it by a majority of only 60.

The largely increased majority speaks eloQuontly of the effect of 8 loug-couttnued campaign of education among unprejudiced, in, telligeut people.
