This dis covery was made on Friday ir the boiler at Bubb & Son's saw mill above Colyer, and its discovery, before the boiler was fired, was quite accidental Constable Frazier went to the Bublh mill for lumber, and seeing Elmer Me- Clellsn nearby making fence, called him and bis hired man to the mill, For some reason Mr, McOlellan’s as- glstant opened the fire box, and there di covered the conditions degeribed above Had the boiler been fired without removing the dynamite, there would have been a terrific explosion, and possibly cost the life of one or more persons. The cause undoubtedly would have been attributed to a defec- tive boiler instead of to the act of a revengeful enemy. ————— i — fo ——————— Dies From Patol Wound, Jacob Crain, a presperous young business man, living near Philipsburg, where he farmed and operated a smal coal mine, died Monday morning at the Cottage hospital, Philipsburg, from the effects of a gunshot wound, inflicted upon himself, it is supposed, with & 32-calibre revolver, The young man made a trip to Philipsburg I'bursday forenoon of 1s st week on business, and while there purchesed the wespon, His father, George Urain, stable boss at Monarch shaft, siso csme to Philipsburg that day and put vp his horse at Doyle Huammell's livery, That evening young Crain called at the livery in search of his father, and not fluding him there, started out, A few minutes later, M+, Hummell heard a shot and making investigation found Crain on the ground, pistol in band, and suffer. ing from a wound in his left bresst.
