NARROW ESUA
While cutting straw with a
straw -cutter and blower on the
farm of John McBride, B]ind' Line.one day last week, Mr. Sam. Mc-
Bride, jr., had a fall which might
easily have resulted seriously. The
blower pipe had hecnme parted and
Sam had mounted a ladder and was
assisting in putting it together. In
some way the ladder slipped out
and he was precipitated to the
floor below. His presence of mind
saved him from coming in contact
with the drive wheel of the straw -
cutter. As it was he received a
severe shaking up but fortunately
no bones were broken.
FIVE MEN IN A BOAT.
A 36 -foot gasoline launch, carry-
ing five men. arrived at St. Joseph
last Saturday in rather an unusual
way. The party had started from
Leamington and were bound for
French River, up the lake, on a
hunting and trapping expedition.
They lost their bearings out on the
lake and for a time were unable to
make any headway, At last they
headed due east and landed near
St. Joseph. A heavy storm was
raging at the time, and the skipper
to save the boat, put on full speed
ahead and landed the launch high
and dry on the beach. One of the
party who had never taken a trip
on a boat, had enough and left for
his home. The rest of the party
will continue on until they reach
their destination.
