AMOS BRICKER

Here is another enterprising and hard working young farmer. Despite the fact that his home was entirely destroyed by fire seven years ago his family is comfortably situated beneath the roof of a neat and spacious brick house. The cause which resulted in the destruction of the old house was lightning. His place is well supplied with wind-mill power, which is utilized in pumping and forcing water conveniently to the house and barnyard and grinding and cutting feed for his cattle. He has fattened twenty head of cattle this season, and has several fine animals about ready for the market now, and has twelve cows of the Durham and Holstein cross and Holstein and Jersey also. He keeps six horses. Last year be produced 1,730 bushels of wheat, 1,100 bushels of oats and 250 bushels of peas. He is the father of five children, two of them being fine twin boys. It is not likely that they will ever want for the necessities of life while under the parental roof, as the father and mother seem to be amply capable of producing everything in that line in abundance.

RAILWAY CROSSING A DEATH- TRAP.

Benjamin Bricker, of Roseville, and his grand-daughter, Miss Maud Bricker, narrowly escaped an awful death Wednesday morning, driving across the C.P.R. tracks on the Roseville Road, west of the Galt cemetery by being struck by the 10.23 express, going east. As it was, the rear end of the waggon was struck, and Mr. Bricker was violently hurled to the road, the wagon smashed into kindling wood, and the horse ran away. Miss Bricker escaped injury by jumping, but the extent of Mr. Bricker's injuries are not known. Immediately after the accident the train was brought to a standstill, and Mr. and Miss Bricker were taken to the station in the train, and Dr. Hawk was summoned. The doctor ordered Mr. Bricker removed to the hospital, but before he had an opportunity to examine him. a message was received from Roseville, asking that he be taken home. The ambulance conveyed him thence.

The Galt Reformer says that the crossing where the accident occurred is a veritable death trap, and that It was nothing short of a miracle that Mr. and Miss Bricker were not killed.
