Horse Killed
On Saturday night of last week as
Mr. David Boland, of this village, was
driving into Lucknow on the bound
ary east, his horse and buggy was run
into, and his horse was so badly in
jured that the animal had to be killed
the next day. It appears that two
men while going home that night from
the village, Btarted to lace their horses
and in the dark did not see Mr. Bow-
laDd ia time to prevent the accident,
has
night
by fool hardy persons, racing their
hories, and it is high time that the
proper author ties should stamp this
dangerous practice out

Kinless losb his l;fe, Mr. McKenzie
was driving a team of horse3 attached
to the threshing engine and while pass
ing along the 4th Concession to Mr.
Little’s farm where they were going
to thresh the next day, he met wibh a
fatal accident. Just how ib happened
will never be known, as his brobhers
were soms distance ahead with the
separator, but it is supposed that in
goiDg [up tho hill, he stopped the
horses to give them a rest, and while
trying to check the engine from going
back he caught hold of the wheel, bnt
in doing so slipped and fell to the
ground, and the front wheel passed
diagonally across his chest, crushing
him in a frightful manner. He was
still alive when found by his brother-’,
but death took place within an hour
after the unfortunate accident. De
ceased was a powerfully built man of
40 years of age, and his sad and un
timely death cast a gloom of sorrow
over the whole section. The funeral
on Saturday afternoon last to the
Kinloss cemetery, was one the largest
seen in the township.
Eliza Finlayson intends leaving for
Detroit on Thursday next. She will
be missed by her many friends.
