move a machine. He was taken to the Hoy hospital at Wellston where an examination revealed that eight of his ribs were broken, that three of his vertabrae were dislocated so that they had to be removed, that his right arm was broken in two places, and his spinal cord severed. There were other severe injuries, such as three penetrations of the pleural cavity. All that surgery could do was done for him in order to relieve his sufferings. Full of vitality, he lived until Friday March 11, in spite of his terrible injuries. His funeral was held Sunday at the Baptist church in this city under the auspices of the Red Men, and 297 members of his Order turned out. He was the son of Mr. Fred Trace and leaves a wife and one child.
