Evans, of the Dominion Bridge Co. Mr. Evans had fished for trout at Walter’s Falls and knew the. Olm- stead Brothers’ Lumber Co., and also | knew- that a suitable tree could be f secured from them. Mr. Wells, ‘of the Dominion Bridge Co., went to Walter’s FaHs and, with Mr. Richard Olmstead, went to the bush and se- lected a 75-foot rock elm tree. The timber required was 18 feet long and 18 inches in diameter, and was to be free from any trace of shake, rot or knot. The log was squared to 13 Inches and, was teamed to Markdale and sent by express to New York. “The tree was cut at 9 o'clock one morning and the timber had been made enc spreaders three days later and w. ready for trial the next day. fe Olmstead Lumber Co. have been est- tablished at- Walter’s Falls for*over 52 years, The first race for the America Cup has to be sailed on July 15.

The Flood Land Company. here hold the option, and it is understood that the sale is practically complet- ed. The deal invalves $5,000,000 including the crop. Mr. Friesen said that the Mennon- ites have purchased 125,000 acres in Mississippi at $18 an acre “We will get away next month,” said he, “and the advance party will start putting up buildings as quickly as they can. There is no doubt that the sale is going through. Mr. Flood will name the purchasers at the proper time. We are here to complete final arrangements with him. Thes crop prospects never looked better in the colony. We have about 50,000 acres in crop, and the men are busy now summer-fallowing 20,000 acres.” Mr. Friesen Was not inclined to discuss conditions under which they would enter,the new country.

To-night, while 2,000 persons watched, he fell from close to the cornice of the Welland House roof to the floor of the sun verandah, 40 feet below. Cruelly broken, he now hovers between life and death in the St. Catharines Hospital. Hutcheson had been advertised to climb the wall of the Welland House to-night, and in the presence of a dense crowd, ascended nimbly until within about.ten feet of the cornice from which a rope had been hung to aid him in scaling the overhang- ing eaves. Grasping the rope, the “Human Fly" treated the spectators to a series of hair-raising stunts.

Hutcheson landed on his side, his face struck the veranda railing, and blood spattered. Only those close to him realized at first that the fall was not a part of the program, and a burst of cheers rose from those on the outskirts of the crowd. A sudden hush followed as the limp bedy was raised and car- ried away. When the nature of the accident became known, horror swept’ the throng of watchers. Several women fainted, and one girl became Violent- ly hysterical. Hutcheson’s fall was due to the knot in the end of the rope coming undone . when his hand struck it.
