News of the accidental death

Mrs. Guy T. Hunt, formerly
residents of Garfield, was re

T hi accident happened last
Saturday afternoon at the White
Pine saw mill in the eastern
part of the state, where Gerald
was employed by tin» White Pine
Lumber company. There was
no witness to the accident, but
it is supposed that he fell into
the moving band saw, one arm
and one leg being severed. He
lived only a few minutes after
the accident.

sympathy of their many friends
in this locality.
