fensores de la clase obrera, pero jamas
podre hacer una defensa sin que una
razon justificada despues de hecho un

que defienuo tiene una raz0n justifca-

Esa arbitraria califcacion del pueblo

Grover Crees met with very pain.

Grover Crees met with a very pain
full accident last Thursday. The fire
at his home was not burning to suit
him and he dashed a can Of coal oil
in the stove, when an explosion took
place and set his clothing on fire and
barned his hands and face quite Sc
verely. It was at first thought that
he would lose the use Of one eye, but
reports from his bedside are to the
effect that his eye is not as badly in
jured as at first thought. It was a
mighty close call and it will be some
time before Grover tries the expert
ment again. If people will only stop
and think to set piece of paper on
fire and toss it in the stove before
throwing in coal oil, they would have
no bad results Grand River Local,
