FATAL ACCIDENT,

by Electric Shock
What might easily have proved to
be a fatal accident occurred last
Friday evening. Mr. W. 3. Hender-
son, Bluevale road, was starting his
electric pump in his cellarwhen by
some unaccountable manner he re-
ceived an electric shock that threw
him six feet and rendered him un-
conscious for a short time,
Mrs. Henderson heard him calling
from the cellar and with assistance
helPed him out of the cellar. Mr.
Henderson was badly shaken and he
will be unable to work on his farm
for some tirne. His right arm is
particularly affected.
Mr. Henderson and his boys have
been operating this pump for three
years but cannot find the defect that
caused the accident,

the Stepchild, is deserving of spec-
ial mention. The way she acted the
untrained western ranch girl kept the
hall in an uproar.
