Now, would he like to A serious .iccidou'. occurred at Frost's garagd Wednesday afternoon, says the Owen Sound Sun, when one of the em- ployees of the gariigH, Wm. Knolls, was seriously burned and an autr belonging to Mr. Fr;ink McC'larty was badly dam- aged 1 y hre. Knolls was w. irking un- deriiejith the car, burning out the carbon in the cylinder.') with an oxygen burner and the heat melted the tube leading to the gasoline tank. Some of the izasolino ran out, saturating Kuoll's clothing, I which instantly took 6re and enveloped ' him in flames. The car also caught hre. Knolls crawled out from under the car, and instead of rolling on tha H( or star'ed to run. Some of the other employees of the garage who saw his plight threw him down and rolled him on the floor until the tire was ou*, but net before his right hand, arm, neck and side were severely burned. The car also burned rapidly but it was not Ion,; until the firemen arrived and ran the burning car out on the road, where the tire was i|uenched Where the Mastodon Went The facts a)K>ul the mastodon remains, foiiiierly owned by the late John Jelly, are us follows : The late John Jelly leased the exhibit to an Orangeville man, who started to exhibit them in Western (^'anaua. A few weeks after he arrived in the west ho took typhoid fever and died. A couple of weeks later two ir responsible piiiies took the maatodon re- mains without perniission and went to the I'nited States. They got slr^inJed at Minneapolis and the iniislodon remains were sold by the Great Northern rai'w.ky to pay the freight chaiges on ihein of some f 12. They were bought by a local physic'an avd were presented by him to the I'niversity of Dakota. The rei/ains are now in the museum of that univer- sity at Grand Forks, Dakota. The bones are worth at least t^OOU. The executors of the late John Jelly's ertate lunde an otfort to seciiie them after his deaih I ut would have had to li^ht a big 1 iw suit to recover them and even then their chaii ces of winning were very doubtful. The exhibit had been in pissession of the university people for some years be- fore they Were located â€" Free Priss. Indians Make Good Sailors " After nuny years' experience 1 am firmly convinced that Indiana make ihe best sailois," declared Mr. W. J. Mc Cormack of the Northern Navigation Co. in discus«ing the suitability of the abo riginea for manning steameis. " We find the Indians to bj hard workers, silent men who take their work seriously, and seldom smile. In fact, I have closely observed the Indians on the decks of our lake steamers and for days have never set II one of the red men smile. They are curteous to the piss 'n- gers, but never make an ellort to cany on a conversation unless (|ueHtianed. "Being serious minded snd tns"- worthy, Indians have been selected f r our deck crews, and at the present tinid the deck crews on our Luke Sxperair steamers consist almost entirely of Indi- ans. Practicjtily all come from tho Georgian Bay district, and their fore- fathers for centuries have linen brouoht up in the like district. As a result, the Indian reems to know by instinct tli) right thing to do on a steamer ai d tf - dom is it necessary to criticize une of the Indians for not performing hi': duties eorrtc ly â€" O.
