THURSTON EDITOR and PKOPBIETOU Terrible Accident At a Bam Raising I â-  Kimberley Budget Councillor D. McLeod and Others Seriously Injured One of ibe worst barn-raising accidents that has ever been chronicled in this puit of the country took place uii Friday ev- eninK last on the farm of the Johnston brothers, Meafurd Road, when a baker's dozen of men were more or less injured. In fact, there were three separate acci- dents during the evenin;;. The tirst accident occurred when Thornton Teeter, a young married ^nan, was working on the frame "oiue twelve feet from the ground. He tripped on a piece of board and fell face down on a pile of stones on the earth below. His face was terribly cut and his uoKe smash- ed in, while his body was al o badly bruised. The second accident occurred to a young man named George Thoini»on cf Jdarkaway. A beam was being lifted in place. ThompeoQ had a rope around his end with the rope over a post, when the rope broke and Thompson was dragited aci-oss the top of the post where he hung , until taken down by companions. His back was iiijure<i uid it was .ilso feared that he was injured internally. The third and most serious accident occurred when the frame was nearly up, with one main plate in position and the other nearly so. In some manner which is not clear to any one, the plate swung and the pike poles could not hold it, and it came clashing down in the midat of the crowd of men below, sweeping a largfl number of men otf the franio with it. It wiM a miracle that several were not in- stantly killed, but the result was bud enough, with over a do/.en maimed, bruised and broken. Frobably the man most seriously injured was Councillor Donald McLeod, who sustained a broken shoulder and two or thre« ribs, while his head was terribly cut by a Hying brace and the scalp laid open for several inches. Among others who were more or less injured were: R. U. Cartuthei-s, Kim- berley, cut in face and nose ; Samuel Wiley and Uavid Hethers, back injured, serious (the latter fell ikifeet) ; D.Weber, cut head and breast : F. Weber, hurt on knee and hip ; W. A, Weber, toes and fingers pinched. Six or eight others weie slightly injured. Miss Crablree, a trained uurse, was present and rendered tirst aid. All the injured were removed to their homes the same evening- Ciitsaiid bruises may be healed in about one-third the time i«<iuircd by the usual treatment by a|>plyiii!f Chamberlain s Liiii- Tueut.

Fleshertou baseball boys canoe to Dun- dalk Tuesday evening for a game with the local team. The match was advertised for 4 o'cliK-k, but owing to the non-arrival of the visitors it was two and a half hours later when play started. It was a close and exciting game for live innings when the score st(.K>d ".t-10 in favor of Dundalk. There the game should have ended as dusk w»8 coming on. The Fleshertou lads, who have better eyes or are more accustomed to darkness, prevailed on the locals to pro<;eeJ further with the game, with the result chat the visitors batted out the ball and lost it seveial time* dur- ing the innings, and they ran the bases till they were tired. There were some- thing over a doxen runs scored in this spasm. In order to spare the feelings of the locals we will not mention the 6nal score. -Herald.

John Dillon, the framer, deserves credit for the manner in which he did the work, every stick tilting to. its place without a mistake. I'niortunately several acci- dents occurred by which a number of men were seriously injured. While one of the bents wa,s being placed in position Thorn Teeter missed his footiny and fell from the foundation to the' ground a distance of about 12ft, breaking his left arm 1h;1ow the ellxiw and cutting his face badly.

In reply to the big political firecracker who so gallantly endeavored to guzzle the reciprocity problem last week, we feel justihed in .staling that it was a pa- rade of sentiment such as to make angels weep. However, considering the -source it emanated from it was very clever in- deed. We feel it our duty to put this poor weasel-brained specimen of the genus homo, who has evidenty bid adieu to common sense and resstm. wis-e to what reciprocity really means, oi.ly we presume it would be an actual case of the proverbial casting of pearls. Let us hear from you again, dear cor.
