Mr.. R. M. Mccoy, logger for the
local saw mill, came very near losing
his life this afternoon, due to rather an
unusual accident. AS he was running
to his cottage out of the rain, with low
cred head and his hat brim somewhat
binding him, he ran into the end of a
protruding gas pipe. The force Of the
impact was at the base of the neck and
glancing from his collar bone. No bones
were broken, but he was much shaken
up and was unconscious for about thirty
minutes.
Copy from outside sources has been
unusually free to come in this week, but
