SALISBURY.
It may be interesting to readers of |
the Commercial to note that Wm. Ba-
ker, the unfortunate man whose fa-|
tal accident was chronicled in last’
week’s paper, was the first death or,
case of accident in, this mining region ;
to come under the new state compensa
tion act. It is estimated that the week
iy indemnity which will be paid to the
guardian of the two little orphans left
by the deceased will amount to sev-
eral thousand dollars by the time they
become 16 years of age. Were the
money to be deposited in some sav-
ings bank where the interest would be
compounded, it would amount to a
large sum until they are 21.
