'l here was jot interesting shooting
mater at the Bend Wednesday of lust
week between two Exeter well known
gentlemen, Alf. and James '\•alter.
There is considerable good natured
rivalry between these two gentle-
men when it comes to anything in
the sporting line, and Alt. being the
elder of the two by about four
years, claims he can defeat his broth-
er in any event they tackle. In
sk ;tin;; Alt. bas it on Jim and at
checkers he can put it all over his
brother. .At tskittles Alf, claims the
championship shooting hip pad at shooter{, thinks
he has the same supremacy. 'In the
game Wednesday the younger brother
showed 'Alf. -he is not so much at the
:shooting game by trimming him to
a frazzle. A number witnessed the
match and the t•xoitement ran high
where James was declared winner.
Mr. James Whyte met with an ac-
cident at the farm of W. 11. Stewart,
a short distance cast of Farquhar.
Monday morning when his right hand
and a portion of his wrist was dis-
membered by tho knives in the cut-
ting box attached to a threshing
machine. Mr. Whyte bad been work-
ing for ;nestle pros. assisting in
operating their threshing outfit and
on Monday commenced work with
Mr. Fred Ellerington assisting with
his machine. About eleven o'clock
the cutting box became clogged and
while the knives were rapidly rotat-
ing he tried to remove the obstruc-
tion. In a moment his hand was
severed, also About two inches of
the wrist. He was at once taken to
Mr. Stewart's house and Drs. Brown-
ing, of Exeter and Campbell, of Kirk -
ton, summoned and the injured arm
attended. Mr. 'Whyte, a short time
ago, came here from the northwest,
where he had spent most of his life
and n few months ago purchased
a home on Main street from J. N.
Howard. Ile was not familiar with
the cutting attachment and It is no
doubt owing to this fact that the
accident happened. Much sympathy
is expressed for him as he will be
maimed for life. Mr. 'Whyte is a ron-
in -law of Mr. John 'Westlake, of the
Thames ltoad.
