White working im e Sewer r on Edward St., on Tuesday afternoon, John McLeod of Scott St. met with an accident that might easily have re- sulted fatally; the sewer caved in catching Mr, McLeod and burying bine up to the middle. The other men employed at the sewer released him with little difficulty. Mr, McLeod had a tnore exciting experience on Wednesday morning while working in the same sewer he was buried up to the shoulders and it was with consid- erable diffleulty that he was dug out, Bis legs were held so solid in the caeth•that a rope had to be fastened around one of them in order to assist in getting them free. Mr. Hill was killed in this same sewer last fall, being under the ground several hours before the body could be removed. Work was a;aln com- menced on this sewer a few weeks ago, the first since the fatal accident last fall. PROGRAMME Rendered by the Wingham Citizens' Band on Friday, June 4th. Chant.

Peseengers had narrow escape near Ilderton, Wingt#atnites =Board. Eighteen people were injured, a few quite .seriously, when the Monday morning train on the London, Huron and Bruce line from Wingham jumped the tracks near l:iderton, about 12 miles from London, the smoking car and another ,peach tumbling over a twenty foot embankment. A relief train and physicians rushed to the scene and the injured taken to;Londonr Possibly the two mast seriously hurt is Harry Rapp, Commercial man of Stratford, who iecetved serious inter- nal injuries, besides having his jaw and collar bone broken, and W, J', Mallett, proprietor of the Central Hotel, Exeter. Brakeman John Rogers of Wingham, is also very badly shaken up. Mr. Rog. ere ran barb to telegraph for assist- ance, end on returning collapsed. En- gineer Fixture and Fireman Steven- son, both of Wingham, were in the caboose. Thos, Hughes and Harry Yates, mail clerks, both of Wingham, on returning to the mail coach after rendering what assistance they could, both collapsed. Mr. Hughes and Mr, Yates are badly shaken up, and inter. natty injured. Both will be unable to attend to their duties for a few days. Harold Hinecliffe, news agent, was badly shaken- up, but did good work in helping the wounded. Tbe same may be said of Conductor Weems and all the reet of the crew who were able. After, leaving the track the train tore through the ties for some little distance. The train had then reached the apprcaah to a small bridge ttnd was on an embankment 20 feet above ground level. The locomotive warped to the east five or six feet and threat- ened •to take the plunge in that direction, but as it, did so the tender turned ata sharp angle to the west and the baggage car behind followed, its rear end projecting five or six yards toward the ditch. The coupling equip" ment broke and the next oar—they smoker --well filled with travelers, was hurled into the ditch, According to the men who rode in the car, in- cluding friends of Mr. Rapp, who vias so badly injured, the car listed easily until it balanced and then suddenly hurled into the ditch, roof downward, its occupants piled with cushions and baggage at the bottom. A scene of great excitement followed and those who were unable to care for themselves were trampled in the wild scramble for safety. • The crew are nearly all residents of Wingham, Among the names of the injured Is Joseph 11. Bakes of Park - Hill, formerly of A/Inghatn, Mr. Alex, Young was also a passenger on this nein. General Superintendent H. E. Whit- tenberger, W. Blackclocke, Superin- tendent of Maintenance and Ways of the Grand Trunk, accompanied by Superintendent Davidson opened an investigation on Monday afternoon, but nothing definite has been revealed as yet. After working all night the.auxil- iary crew returned to Loudon. Oso= ing to the lightness of the rails it was impossible to get the steatn. derrick on the scene and they were compelled to build a temporary track around the wreckage.
