While watching trial of the newly
repaired fire engine, in which the men
engaged in that work were having a
little water battle with some boys,
Gordon Goodfellow was accidentally
struck in the eye with a stream from
the hose and very painfully injured.
The eye was cut so that it bled quite
profusely and swelled shut. but we are
glad to say that it is now improving
and it is expected will soon be as well
as ever.
The village fire engine is once more
in commission. after being laid up for
repairs for several weeks. The new
parts necessary for the machine cost
more than four hundred dollars, thus
making the job quite expensive.

; Edwin Williams, within the past tw
I. weeks, has made two attempts to enlis
in the service of his country, both i
: the Army and Navy branches, and wa
rejected as having defective eyesigh
in both instances. On Tuesday he wa
a examined by the Local Board for Gene
