A sad accident happened last Friday in Rusk township by which the four-year-old son of Herbert Dohinan lost his life. The little fellow had observed his elders hasten the morning by the use of kerosene and had served, secured possession of the can and poured part of oil into a blazing fire. In an instant the can exploded, enveloping the lad in flames. Assistance was at hand and he was rolled in blankets, smothering the flames, but he was fatally burned. The accident occurred about ten o'clock in the morning and he lingered in agony until eleven o'clock that night, when his sufferings were relieved by death. The funeral took place Sunday. The city council has decided to sink a well for fire protection on the piece of railroad land on Main street between the City hotel and the railroad track. D. B.

Should a sufficient volume of water be found, a 15-horse gasoline engine for pumping purposes and 1000 feet of hose will be purchased. This will enable the firemen to fight fire with a direct stream, as far north as the Masonic temple. This move of the council will meet with general approval, for while fire has been fought very successfully heretofore there is a limit to human endurance and said limit was nearly reached Saturday night. Later —Since the above was in type a question as to the power of the council to make such an expenditure has arisen and the plan has been abandoned. Union meeting of the W. C. T.
