Threshing was dangerous work
Clinton New Era
1883
On d�o llaas't a par-

He and a companion were

the boundary between
McKillop and Hallett, and in
order to aid the team in
turning the corner he got
down off the seat and took
the horse by the head. After
they had turned all right and
while they were • still slowly
walking
kingalong, he attempted

when his foot slipped and he
fell beneath the ponderous
wheels, which passed over
his leg and arm.
Mr. John Mason, reeve,

this year.
Those who witnessed the
accident, say it was the
greatest wonder the wheels
did not pass over his bead,
which escaped only by a
hair's breadth.
At present he lies in a
somewhat precarious
condition, although hopes
are 'entertained of his
recovery, but it will be a long
time before he is able to do
any work.
