The cattle beast found down the rocks last Sunday, belonged to Mr. Will Davidson. They got it out and I am informed by Mr. Bert David- son, that they found out where it fell over and lit on a ledge about half way down, rolled off and fell the balance of the way. which was about 60 feet all told. The animal was none the worse for its fall outside of being very hungry, having had nothing to eat for. they thought, a- bout t^vo days, where it rolled off the ledge of rock and went on the last of the fall it lit quite near the river, in about 2 feet of mud and no doubt that saved it from ha\-ing broken bones.

Mr. McLean who was passing the irarage at the time took the risk, rushed in and kicked the blazing can across the road, the fire was right near the pumps where more or less easoline has been spilled on the ground in fill- inir cars. .Another lesson to teach people not to pour gasoline on fire or look out for a blow up. However. they say a miss is as good as a mile, the fire was put out with no ilamage.
