While removing his horse from the shed after choir prac- tise he accidentally removed the bridle with the halter and the horse began to make use of his freedom. Mr. Love showed great tenacity of purpose and capabilities as a horseman by a remarkable display of horse taming, but was finally overpowered and .trampled underfoot. During the con- fusion his feet became entangled in one of the front wheels of the buggy and several spokes were wrenched out. The horse then bolted for home. Two of Mr. Love's many kind friends drove him home, and assisted in re- covering several articles of personal property, discarded by the horse in its hasty flight. On reaching home Mr. Love found himself very little the worse for his experience, and showed his appreciation of his friends' kindness by serving an ample though impromptu lunch.

C., Sentinel of December 23rd, con-, tained the following.. notice of the , death of James Aird, husband a miss Tena Gray, daughter of the late 'Roderick Gray, one of the pioneer 'residents of this township, who re- sided up to the time of his death on the farm now occupied by Mr. John 'Eckert, about -a mile north of Sea - forth. Mrs. Aird will have the sin- cerest sympathy of many old friends' in this vicinity. The Sentinel says: The death of James Aird, a well known pioneer, Sunday evening, De- cember- 14th, was not unexpected, as he had been ailing with heart trouble for some weeks, yet it brought upon his legion of friends in this community a shock of sorrow. Some months a- go the deceased had a very severe attack of heart trouble, but gradually recovered until he was able to get about the city again. Indulging one day -in a little work too strenuous for his condition, he suffered another at- tack that brought him very close to death's door. His strong 'constitu- tion and wonderful vitality enabled him to overcome the second- attack to that extent that he improyed for several weeks, when suddenly the end came on Sunday, December 14th, Mr. Aird was born in Ayrshire, Scot- land, on September 29th, 1846, and came to Kamloops forty-three years ago. For a long time he owned and operated a ranch south of the city, but eight years ago he retired from fanning and moved to the city and since that time has been one of the leading citizens of the municipality. He was married fifteen years ago to Miss Tena Gray, of Seaforth, Ont., who survives him. Few men have liv- ed, in a community for such a long term of years and maintained through- out such a reputation for honesty and integrity as the late Mr. Aird. He took an active interest in all pub- lic affairs and was willing with purse or hand to assist in any enterprise for the benefit of the city. His de- mise will be the cause of sincere re- gret and sorrow among a large num- ber of people, not only in Kamloops but throughout a large area of the district as well. The funeral took place from the residence, 271 Battle street, last Wednesday afternoon, Rev, H. R. McGill, of St. Andrew's, officiat- ing.

Pearse, Nelson and Freeman. HENSALL For Sale.—One Lister gasoline engine 5 horse power, English make, niaterial, hnd workmanship of highest quality And in sood running order.
