SE Fatal Accident NOT in the memory of the community has a death caused more profound re- gret than that of Chas, Napier Wylde Mechanical Superintendent of the Dry. den Paper Company, whose death re- sultant from accident, occured at the Red Cross Hospital on Sunday last, It appears that on the previous day the deceased absorbed in his duty of inspection of the plant, stepped back- wards into the opening of a tank con- taining a solution of caustic soda, the : door at that time being open to admit a fresh supply of lime, and falling sideways was partly submerged in the liquid, First aid was immediately rendered at the mill After the ar- rival of Dr Morison, the sufferer was removed to the local hospital All that could be done, was done, but despite the best efforts of Dr Morison and that of Dr P.J. Lehmann, specialist the burns were of such a serious nature, that their ! strenuous endeavours proved unavail. ing i What makes the accident more dis- » iressing is the fact that the deceased, handicapped with sever war-wounds, .was unable without assistance to extricate himself from his critica] pre- {dicament, This was promptly done . by Mr L, Nymark, i Like the good soldier that he was, he bore his suffering heroically, and j With exemplary fortitude, It is a pitiful satisfaction to know gthat the deceased fully realized thai t the unfortunate accident was one in which no blame could be attached. i Coming to Dryden almost four years Napier Wylde commanded the re- "spect and esteem of all with whom he i came into contact, and by his intimate i friends and large circle of acquantanc. bet he was endeared, Quiet, almost reticent, his nature seemed to carry the impress of the horrors of the war, vet his was a winning personality. He was a man who never attempted to accomplish anything unless his heart i was in it, By his untimely death, at the early age of twenty-nine years, a brilliant career has been ended, and the Dryden Paper Company has suffered an al- most irreparable loss. The remains were conveyed to Mont- real for burial The popularity and regard in which he was held by the employees of the mill was. evinced by the sorrowful procession of men who followed the casket to the depot. Mr B H. Humphreys, representing the Company, and Mr D. H Brown- hill, the deceased's close friend ac- companied the body east, Dr and Mrs Wylde, parents of the deceased reside in Montreal, and to them and his sister the deepest symp- athy is extended. Simultaneously, with the last sad rites, at Montreal, a semi-military service, impressive in its quiet dignity, was held in St. Luke's church and was attended by the staff and employees of the Dryden Paper Comp- fany, together with the Veterans of the Great War, Mr John Wilson, ago, general manager, represented the Company. felt hat, Her bouquet was of roses, After the ceremony luncheon was served, the three sisters of the bride, Mesdames Parker, Law and Nicholson, doing the honours.

Messrs Ace Emmett, secretary of the Manitoba Motor League and Major Edward Bowkett, of the Scidiers' Civil Re-establishment Board, of Wi. Peg, with Alfred Pitt, M. D.

The gentlemen left Dryden Monday morning for Wabigoon, where they were met by Mr Chas, Merrill, who piloled the party by beat to the Mani. tou, and who, during the party's so- journ there, excelled himself as a host, Yes, they fished, but then there were other things too, For instance, one day they visited and examined the property and machinery of the Lauren- tian Mine, at Gold Rock, which will be operating shortly. We hear that there have been some sensational discoveries here, Another day they visited the Haycock Mine, where twenty-five men are putting in a camp, This is a Canadian Company, and there is every indication that this will be a real mine, and in operation soon, Mr and Mrs Scattergood of Phila- delphia, received the fishermen in their beautiful summer home, which was erected this summer and the gentle- men are high in their praise of Mrs Scattergood's charming hospitality. Gold Rock is forging right ahead and is coming back into its own.
