ESPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE


Three Athol men have had serious
accidents this week with their horses
Sam Roseborough while hauling
wood out at the Christian Home, was
one of the unfortunates. One of his
horses kicked the other so badly a
doctor had TO be summoned. The
kick will not prove fatal it is thought.
but the horse cannot be used for
sometime, which greatly iuc0nvenien-
ces Mr., Roseborough. Earl BatterS,
while hauling logs at the Whitelock
mill, was unlucky enough to have d
log roll on one Of his horses. 1t did
not kill the animal, but it cannot be
worked for several weeks. Paul Sage
was still more unfortunate than the
owners of the other two horses, for
while going down a steep hill east Of
town, with big load of logs, one of
his horses slipped and fell, hurting
itself so badly it had to be shot,
