Near 4:30 o’clock at Frankfort last Friday a mishap that may terminate into a fatal accident, befell Arnold Eads, aged 22 years, a single man, an employee of the Finch Brothers’ saw mill. He was assisting in unloading some heavy logs from a wagon and in placing the cant hook in position so as to pull a log to the ground, the hook failed to loosen its grip, and on him releasing his hold, the handle of the instrument whirled around in such a manner as to strike him a fair and square blow in the center of the forehead, the force of which may cause his death. A piece of bone two and three quarters by three and one quarter of an inch was driven into his head three eighths of an inch, particles of the bone protruding from under the skin. The unfortunate young man is a son of Wm Eads of Darlington.
