A horse belonging to Robert Naylor

able manner. The horse had been kicked
while in its stall by another horte that
had broken loose in the stable Friday.
The horse that was kicked slipped its
halter and walked to the stall of its as
sailant, paid the animal back in its own
coin. It required several stitches in sew
ing up the cut made by the avenger's
shoe.

Shortly after three o'clock Thursday
afternoon Harry Black and Frank How

Creamery, were seriously if not fatally
Scalded.
There were some repairs needed to the
man-hole on top of the boiler, and the
two men soon completed the necessary
repairs, and after the work had been
done, they discovered steam escaping.
They again ascend to the top of the
boiler, and attempted to tighten one of
the nuts, when suddenly the bolt gave
way, and the steam and hot water rushed
out in great force upon the workman. 1 «
