Jordan prepared the'timber himself, raised and finished the entire building without aid from any other person, except his twelve -year-old son, who led the horse. 15 was a most ex- ceptional piece of work, and there are few men who could accomplish it.

She was badly cut about the face and neck by the limbs of the trees, and the doctor found it necessary to put in several stitches in dressing the wounds. Although her wounds are painful, she is thankful she escaped as well as she did, as the wonder is she was not fatally injured.

The doctor had his horse sent', down to the livery, and an employe of the stable hitched the animal to a buggy and was driving it towards the doctor's office. When driving it along' Jones street towards Thames the animal made a sodden spurt colliding with a big maple tree, throwing the driver out with terrific force. He pluckly held on lei the lines, however, and just managed to prevent a worse catastrophe by stopping the brute within a few feet of a stone wall, at the rear of James Lelliott's premises, which would have precipitated the animal and himself Six or eight feet below on the solidrocls of the river bed.
