Ritchie, 7th con., Mr. Henry Steeper, a well known resident of McGillivray, f met with an accident which caused bis death. Attached to Mr. Steeper's separator there is a small wheel which runs a saw to cut wood for the engine. It was this part of the machinery which caused the accident for while attempting to throw on the small belt to start the saw, the right arm of the deceased was caught and before the engine could be shut down he had been whirled around several times. The arm was pulled oft at the elbow but the victim was spared the agony of this as his skull was fractured by striking the large wheel, producing in- stant unconsciousness. Mr. Steeper passed away in about three hours with- out regaining consciousness. He issur- vived by his wife, two sons, one mar- ried and one at home, and one daugh- ter, Mrs. Woodburn, besides several brothers and sisters. While working a corn busking machine on his Lather's farm at Strath - burn, near Glencoe, Tuesday, Dougall McCallum had his left arm so badly lacerated by getting it caught in the machine that it was necessary to am- putate it. He was removed to Vic- toria Hospital for treatment. The un- lucky youth was feeding the machine at the time of the accident and while: in the act of releasing an ear which had lodged in the machinery be got his fingers caught and before the en- gine could be stopped his entire arnt had been drawn in above the elbow. 2 4 2 Su fay u,a uaturt of the trophy has not been decided upoa but it will probably be .t valuable one and a useful one.
