' te-EaT'*—maismia elk -a -We regret this
week to anuounce the death of Thomas
Ferguson, of the 12th con., last Wawanosh,
which occurred last Thursday afternoon.
On the. previous Saturday Mr. Ferguson
was in town with a load of grain and when
at McInnes' warehouse, near the station,
his horses became frightened and rani away.
Mr. Ferguson was thrown to the ground
and two of the wagon wheels passed over
his body, breaking three ribs, besides caus-
ing other internal injuria His injuries
though serious, were rot+o�onsidered of a
dangerous character and he was able to be
removed to his home the same, 'evening.
Although as late as last Thursday it was
reported u town that he was improving, it
appears he gradually grew worse until
death put an end to his suffeeings. ,jr.
Ferguson was 61 years of age, and bas been
a resident of East Wawanosh for over 20
years. • He leaves a wife and grow i •up •
family to mourn, his untimely death. His
remains were interred iu the Ingham
cemetery on Saturday afternoon, the fun-
eral boiug largely attended.
GETTING WORSE.—The many friend i.of'!
Mrs. W. F. Brockenshire who have anx-
iously watched her rapid recovery from
the effects of the operation she recently
underwent at Toronto, will be pained to
learn that she is again seriously ill. On
Teuesday at noon Mr. Brockenshire receiv-
e,. 1oltor from Dr. Temple, the attending"
pb"yyj,oian, in which he stated that the
troiible arose from an old chronic disease
of tlie'kidney, being quite independent of
the disease for which she was being treat-
ed, and that it might at any time run a
fatal and rapid course. Following," as it
did, so many encouraging reports, this an-
nouncement was, quite a shock to Mr.
Brockenshire. During the same afternoon
a dispatcn came announcing that the
patient was dangerously ill, and asking
Mr. Brockenshire to go to Toronto immed-
iately, which he did by the evening train
on the C. P. R. Mrs. Brockenshire had
almost entirely recovered from the effeots
of the recent operation, and it was her in-
tention to return home to -day. A postal
card received at this office last night from
Mr. Brockeushere states that Mrs. Brock-
enshire is much better than he expected
to•find her. She has improved greatly the
past couple of days, and hopes are't+nter-
tained that she will soon get well. "
