TUOMAS WALTERS KILLED. Thrown Under a Locomotive and Receiving Injuries From Which he Dies in a Few Hours. , An accident occurred near this place Wednesday forenoon the details of I which are heartrending in the extreme. Thomas Walters, a bright young man I of promise, was thrown under the wheels lof a locomotive and received injuries I from which he died in a few hours. The i accident occurred on the B. A O. rail road about two miles east, of town. The young man was employed ns driver at the second railroad bridge east of town which is being filled in. He was driving his team but a few feet from the track when- freight train No. 26. east bound, The horses were facing 1 the train, and as it drew near they kun denly turned and threw the scraper to wards the track, a handle of the scraper striking Walters and throwing him against the engine. The deadwood of the pilot struck him arrow the back and he was whirled around under the on gine the drivers of which passed over his right leg and left foot. It is said that he had the presence of mind to scrambL' out from under the engine. Chas. Le Roy, who was near by, ran to Walters' assistance as soon as possible. A hand car was brought on which Walters was placed, with two men holding him a d he was taken to town ami from the rail road was conveyed in a wagon to Dr. Arlington's office where everything p siblr was done to make him comfortable. As he never rallied from the sho k f the accident amputation of the injured limbs was out of the question. He *.mk steadily from the time of the accident but was conscious almost up to the last minute. He talked intelligently of *is condition and exprwwd the wish that he might die. About half an hour Isfore his death h“ said that “it would t 4 be long.” Ho complained mostly of hi* back paining him ami he did not se»*m to suffer so much from his other in juries. The accident occurred at 1“ S> a. tn. am! he dial alsmt I p. m.

An old railroid f warned Elkins a few days before the a. cident that he ought not to allow team< so near the track w hen trains were pasiug, but it is said that he treated the ! advice lightly, remarking that he “knew ■ his business." or something to that effect.

THE “GLORIOUS” IN* WALKERTON. Baseball Game, Bicycle and Foot Races and Fireworks. The 120th anniversary of the birth of our nation was observed in \\ alkefton by a program consisting of a baseball game between Walkerton and Plymouth, bicycle and foot races and flreworkA in the evening. The program us advortised was not carried out in full, the speak iug and parade not taking place on aceountofa misenlculation in arranging the details. Through some oversight. Place’s grove, where the speaking and basket dinner were to have taken p^ee, had not been fitted up for the ono^lou, causing considerable disappoit'tuM „ many people. The omt**rs of th* *tny were on hand to do their pwt, but no provisions having lH*en made for a place I to epeak, they could not fulfill their part !of the program.

The PEOPLE’S COLUMN’ Self Examination. Ed. Independent: I believe, from my largo and varied ex perience with human nature, that we all find too much fault with our neighbors and too little fault with ourselves. The “g.Mid bo >k” tells us that "A man’s ways are right in his own eyes.” But are they right in his neighbor’s eyes* The psifimwit prayed, “Lord search me mid see if there be any wicked way wit hin me.’’ Hero is a man wanting to find out his own heart. It hns lieen my observn tion that th*»se who find the most fault with others do the least themsi'lveH to help humanity, 1, 't us reme« Tliiiriw About all they did w'Wl th* Sftvior was on earth was to find'fault with him and those who were trying to make the world better. The church, education and |>>lities would be bettor today and we would have more tompor al prosperity in our towns and cities were it not for that class who hang onto the wheels of progress ns dead weight.
