The Fredericton 'Herald' furnishes us with the following account of the death of George D. GRANT on the morn., Tuesday, 29th ult. at Joseph RICHARD's logging camp on Hovey Brook, fifteen miles from Boiestown. The men had been out to work a few houes when a chopper lodged a tree into a birch. Rowley MANZER and Geo. D. GRANT who were swamping a road near by, were told by the chopper to get out of the way. He then began to cut into the birch to bring the lodged tree down. When the birch was half cut through, it broke falling against a dead spruce stubb about thirty feet long. The stub broke off at the ground and fell almost at right angles with the course of the falling birch. The chopper could not see where the swampers were, but he had given them sufficiant warning. He believed they were all right until Manzer was heard to shout 'Joe, the old man is killed'. Mr. Richard, the choppers and others gathered round. The old man, Geo. D. Grant was tenderly picked up from the snow and carried to the camp. There were some signs of life for about five minutes then all was still. Mr. Richards and some of the men followed the remains to Boiestown where telegrams were sent to Chatham to the relatives of the deceased. A doctor came from Chatham, but it was not though necessary to hold an inquest. Deceased was 62 years of age and came to Chatham about four years ago. He leaves a family of four children most of whom are grown up.
