officers who are here on recruiting ere
rand are enable TO get in touch with

The long and rather deep declivity |
caused by high-piling SHOWS and ruth |
less trolley sweeper claimed another vic |
tim on South Main street near noon |
to-day when a travelling man who had |
been demonstrating kitchen cabinet in |
the hinterlands was pitched headlong
into snow bank. He had engaged
team and driver from livery, and the
outfit was returning to the home sta
bic when the horse became frightened
and slumped toward the car track The
light express sled turned turtle and with
it the kitchen cabinet and everything at
the fingers ends. By maintaining
rigid grip on the reins, the driver pre-.
vented a runaway, and once the horse
had been quoted down, he scrambled
to his feet and hurried to the rescue
