W. H. Berfitt, of this Tillage, met
with rather a peculiar accident while
driving in a Singer wagon on London
Friday evening. About le miles this
side of Melrose the horses and wagon
suddenly plunged into an open culvert
about eight feet deep. Some man had
been repairing it and had left it open.
The buggy was bad•ly smashed. Mr.
Barfitt got assistance from John Ken
nedy and walked back to Lobo where
he remained all night. When coming
to the city he was on a sad mission.
His sister, Mrs. Wm, Martin, wagon her
deathbed, andduring the night she
died. Near Melrose there was a log
lying at angles across the road. This
was the only sign of danger and Mt.
Barfitt drove hastily past and did not
see it.
Floods,
The disasters atteniant upon the
floods in Western States are unparal-
leled. Never in the history of the west
have so many lives been lost and so
much property destroyed by floods as
has been chronicled in the past two
weeks. More than a hundred lives
have been lost and $50,000,000 damage
has already been done along the vari-
ous river,. The floods have caused
more than a million dollars damage in
Sioux City alone and river towns are
under water for hundreds of miles in
Nebraska, lowa Missouri and Illinois.
Many retiree& are at a etandstill and
long stretchee of trachkand scores of
briges have been washed away. The
rivers are still Heing and fears are en-
tertained that all the lenees between St

A very sad and fatal accident cc -
cured here on Monday morning. Mr.
Wm. Sproat was out driving with a
Toting horse, in.a road cart. When
about three miles from the town, it is
supposed the horse got frightened at
something on the road, and bolted sud-
denly to the side, striking a wheel of
the cart against a post of the lance.
Mr. Sprout was thrown out and instant
ly killed. He was one of the pioneer
settlers of Huron and was one of the
most highly respected memberof the
community. He was about 66 year'
of age and leaves a widow and large
family. His sad , death has cast a
gloom over this place.
