FATAL ACCIDENTS.
Minor Causaults throughout the
Gounty during the past week.
Killed By A Falling Tree.
Just a week ago today, Steven
Donahue, a young man of bright
future prospects, residing in El
Paso, was killed t»y a falling tree
while working in the woods. He
ancThis father went to do some
chopping and while felling a tree
the unfortunate man noticed an
ax laying beneath the descent of
the falling tree and without a
thought of the consequences, he
ran under the tree to save the ax
and probably slipped and fell, for
he was caught and so severely
mangled that he died twelve hours
later in great agony. The young
man was about thirty-five years
old and was highly respected by
all, and his sudden death brought
sorrow to all the friends and re
latives.
Mangled in a Mill.
A week ago Saturday Jay Ham
mond, a young man working in
the Hammond mill at Rock Elm
was caught*in the shafting and
sustained serious if not fatal in
juries. He was whipped around
the shaft and repeatedly drawn
through a narrow space until his
clothing was torn off, thus freeing
the body from its perilous j osition.
His legs were broken, so one
ver ion of the accident has it, and
is so mangled it is thought he
ca inot live.
Lost a Thumb and Fingor.
In the town of Union last week
a young man named Patrick got
his finger and thumb sawed off
while working in a saw mill in
that town.
A Compound Acdident.
While working in the woods a
week ago Friday, Frank Wilde, a
resident of Rock Elm, was acci
dently thrown from a log and
sustained severe injuries. His
wrist was dislocated and a bone
broken in his arm, and on Tuesday
his team ran away with him,
throwing him out of the wagon
and dislocating a shoulder. It is
said that misfortune does not
come single handed and we pre
sume that Mr. Wilde, sustaining
so severe injuries in two accidents
only three days apart will be con
vinced of the truth of the old
adage.
A Dwelling house Burned.
A week ago yesterday a dwelling
house owned by Frank Howard of
Esdaile was consumed by fire, we
learn that the must of the
furniture was removed.

Among the old annals of Kinnic
kinnic which have recently been
unearthed is found the following:
And it came to pass that in the
kingdom of Wisconsin a son was
born and he gave much promise
of a bright youth and a noble
manhood. And as the sun did
rise and set each day, so did this
youth grow and prosper. And it
came to pass that 111 this kingdom
were other youths like unto this
first youth, who also were men of
noble mein. And one ruler
governed over this kingdom and
was a queen. And it came to pass
that this youth, whom we shall
call David, was a youth of great
forbearance, and he did dwell upon
goodly acres and did till the soil
and tend his herds of goats. And
it came to pass after many years
this youth called David did ex
perience a queer yearning in his
bosom and did ask all, even to the
ruler of his kingdom, what was
betoken by these strange signs.
But no one in the kingdom knew
and the answer came not. But
lo! one night after attending all
day to his herds he laid his weary
body upon a cot and there came
to him a dream in which
there appeared a beautiful maiden
and these strange feelings were
explained. And on the morrow
David did appear before the ruler
of the kingdom and did haste to
tell his dream. When he had
finished the ruler rose up and
sayeth “It is well, thou has in
thy manly bosom a noble
heart—go hence and wed the
maiden of thy choice.” And
straightway did this youth go and
take unto himself a wife and did
bring her home to his goodly
acres and his large herds. Now it
so happened that among the other
youths of his age, who did dwell
upon like acres, were many
musicians and these musicians
headed by one whom we shall call
Goliath did plan to appear before
David and make merry upon the
occasion of his marriage. And it
came to pass that they did so act
as they had planned and did
indulge in great festivities and did
fill the air with mellow strains
from their wondrous harps. And
it so happened that the ruler of
the kingdom was near by and did
invite the patriarchs to participate
with the youths but these wise
men of the tribe being aged and
infirm did decline, saying, “Kind
ruler, we know them not.” And
it came to pass that upon the next
day David did come forth and did
accompany the band of musicians
into the adjoining province of
Hudson and there at the house of
Wheeler for one night and one day
did David and his friend Helms
feast them. Then it came to pass
that the youths headed by Goliath
did rise up as one man and did
thank their hosts and did shower
gold upon the ground at their feet
and sayeth as one man, “David is
a noble youth—a great and good
man” and they went upon their
way rejoicing.
