blaster Clyde itfyrault Tails From
Wasou aud Narrowly Escapes Death
Injuries 'ot Defp. . .
Master Clyde Day vault, son of
Mr. and Mrs. D P Day vault, met
with a very painful accident to
dav (Thursday). Clyde is 11
years old and quite manly. He
was driving a team loaded with
lumber and coining down the
steep rocky hill beyond the
branch near St. John's church
ho fell between the horses
and the wTagon wheel
struck the left side of his head,
cutting a fearful gash. It is most
probable that his life was saved
'by his head slipping from under
the pressure of the wTheel.
Bis injuries are .very severe
though no.t deeper probably than
the skin.
Mr. "VV H Dry, who was with
the wagon train, ' procured a
buggy and took him in and has
tened home as the quickest
means to get him a physician's
treatment.
He bled considerably but was
entirely conscious of everything.
He is resting very well.
While the fearful accident is
deplored, one is moved to a feel
ing of congratulation to him and
his parents that he escaped a
sadder fate to which he was so
imminently exposed.
