M'KILLOP.
KICKED To DRA'rn.—A very sad and
fatal accident occurred on the farm of
the Mesers. Brock, on the Mill road,
Tuckoremith, on Thursday afternoon,
March 28th, which resulted in the al most
fpstanteneous death of Mr. Joseph
Rugill, of McKillop, and who was well-
known as a breeder and owner of
thoroughbred horses, It seems that
Mr, Hugill had called on Mr. Brock,
who is also a horse fancier, for some
purpose or other. While there Mr,
Hugill and Mt. Brock attempted to
halter a young colt which was in a box
eta in the stable. While thus engag-
ed, Mr. Hugill went up behind the colt
and placed his hand on its back. The
animal kicked, striking him on the
Mime, immediately over the heart,
Mr. Hugill uttered an exclamation and
sank to the floor, and life was extinct
before aid could reach him. A. doctor
was immediately sent for, but the vital
,spark had fled Yong before his arrival,
Ou examination it was found that the
blow had broken a rib and driven ane
end inwards., and it is supposed that
this penetrating the heart, caused al•
must instant death. The remains were
removed to the home of the deceased,
,and on the following Sunday were
interred in the Maitlandbank cemetery.
Mr. Hugill was well-known throughout
the country. For years he had been
ilrominent in horse circles, as a breeder
and owner of trotting and other thor-
- oughbred stock, and it is said he was one
• of the best posted men on pedigrees in the
• proyiace, He was a young man in the
printe of life and was unmarried. He
.lived with his mother and brother, on
the homestead farm, on the McKillop
and Hallett town line, and where, if we
mistake not, he was born. He was a
quiet, steady, well-doieg mar, and hie
sudden and tragic leach is a source of
deep grief to his relatives and of sincere
regret in the entire community.
.1./BATH OF FRANK MoanteoN,—An-
other of the respected pioneers of Mc-
Killop, in the person of Mr. Francis Mor.
risen, has been removed from thio life.
The announcement of Mr. Morrison's
death was received with surprise and
deep regret by his friends, many of
whom had not learned of his illness.
$e pawed pesrefully away on Satur-
day, larch '28th, On Friday, a week
Previous, he wee in attendance at ai
auction sale in the neighborhood, and
seemed as well es usual. On the follow-
ing Saturday lie was taken down with
pneutnotiia, accompanied by a kidney
complication, and which he only surviv-
ed a week. Mr. Morrison had reached
the good age of nearly 71 years, el though
he did not look to be nearly so old a
man. He was one of the pioneer set-
tlers of McKillop, Over 40 years ago,
in company with his brother Robert,
he removed to McKillop from Leeds
county and settled on the farm on the
10th concession, which he continued to
occupy until his death. He out the
first tree that was felled on his farm,
and there was net a house within three
miles when he settled there. He leaves
one of the best and most productive
farms in the comity, which, by industry
and good management, he has convert-
ed from a dense forest. His wife still
survives him, and he leaves a family of
three sons and four daughters. The
sons are, Albert, in Cleveland; Heber,
in Manitoba, and William, at home.
The daughters are, Mrs. Bose, of Sea -
forth; Ifre. Davidson, of McKillop;
Mrs.' Jelly, of Shelburne, and Mrs.
Dunning, of Hartney, Manitoba. Mr,
Morrison was an enterprising, indue-
triotts citizen, a kind and obliging
neighbor, and was held in high esteem
by ail who knew him. His death will
be much regretted by many, and espe-
cially by the members of hie own fam-
ily, to whom he was much attached.
The remains were laid to rest in the
Maitlandbank cemetery on Monday of
last week, and many availed them-
selves of this last opportunity of paying
a tribute of respect to an old and re-
spected neighbor and friend.
