NO, HE HAD NOT BEEN TO BEAVERVILLE—JUST LUCKY.

Ray D. Thompson, while entering the postoffice Friday evening slipped and in trying to save himself a fall, lurched into the large plate glass window at the side of the entrance and shattered it into fragments. The entrance to the postoffice has a glass floor and is a dangerous place to set foot, and it is a wonder that some one has not broken a limb before this. It is-especially dangerous in the winter when there is snow and ice oh the ground. It is not known yet who the loss will fall upon, the owner of the building, the insurance company if he carries a policy, or upon Mt. Thompson. Ray certainly should not be called upon to make good the loss, as the accident was through no fault of his.
