A serious accident which terminated
fatally befell a young men -named John
Watson, con. 16, township of GretsPe last
Thursday afternoon. It appears he and
his brother were working in the bush
and when felling a large tree, it broke a
limb from another tree which came down
striking the young man, who was
hurrying off to a safe distance. Upon
examination it was found that one dins
legs was broken., Tiledical aid was Sum -
maned and the fractured limb set, which
seemed to be the only apparent injury..
The patient was doing as well as could
be expected until about midnight, and
lapsed into a state of unconsciousness,
in which state he remained until death
relieved him on Saturday. He was a
steady and industrious young man and
his sad death is a severe blow to his
father and brothers. The sr -apathy of
the whole community will be given to
them in their terrible affliction.
