Snyder, of near ED mira, who was _ severely _ scalded while attempting the repair of a boil er last December, and who has been coufined to the Guelph Hospital ever since, is sufficiently recovered to be able to sit up. His friends hope that he may soon be around again. It may be recalled that Mr. Suyder was preparing to thresh on his farm mear Yatton on the day of the acciâ€" dent. Having gotten up steam in the traction engine he discovered a leak in the boller. After putting out the fires he drained it of water and left the boiler several hours to cool off before attempting the repairs. Crawlâ€" ing inside the small fire door he re‘ moved the plug in the boiler when hot steam and water spurted out on him. His partner Wm. Hearst, who was present and other willing helpers had great difficulty in extricating Mr. Snyder from his painful position . owâ€" ing to the smallness of the opening. When finally rescued ‘the skinâ€" had been torn from the greater part of his right arm, and other parts _ of his body had been badly burned. _ Doctors from Linwood and Glenallan were shortly in atten dance and the injured man rushed to the Guelph _ Hospital. After six weeks‘ treatment Mr. Snyder‘s burns have sufficiently healed to permit his removal‘ in the course of a few . days.
