Dever was struck by a pas- senger train while driving across the tracks at noon. The school house '.as packed te the doors as Coroner Dr. H. Fer- guson.

The tone o! the evidence throughout was that wj%,g wags or signal lights o! some kind should confrol fraffic at this point.

Mix the bran and Paris Green dry, thoroughly, until the green can be seen everywhere through the bran. This can be done most easily on a concrete or tight board floor by shovelling it over just as in mixing concrete. Do not mix with the hands and do not inhale the Paris Green dust. Next level the surface o! the pile, add the water and molasses thoroughly mixed and shovel again until the mixture is well moistened, but will faîl through the fingers like damp sawdust. This poison bait should be applied after 6 p.m. and should be scattered by hand. In corn broadcast it over the ground just as one would broadcast grain.
