A letter written by the son of John HARRIMAN, now in Menominee gives the particulars of Donald THOMPSON's death. Thompson went from Chatham (North. Co.) to Menominee last fall in company with Jos. HARRIS. Edward MORRISSY s/o P. MORRISSY of Newcastle was there at the time of the accident. It appears that the men were employed to work on the drive on Hemlock Brook. They were next sent to break rollways on the point on the main river which were high and dangerous. Some of the men were heaving on a windlass, in the endeavour to break a jam with a warp. A large log had to come down which the men could not get at with their peevies. Thompson went to put the hook on it, when the current took the log. Three logs passed over him and another log, scaling about 600 feet struck him in the breast. He was picked up and carried to camp where he died that night. Harris, Morrissy and Harriman started for Florence with the remains of their comrade, a distance of 32 miles. They had a hard time of it. Coming to one stream they could not take their team over on account of the logs. Leaving the team, they carried the body over between them, walking upon the logs. Obtaining another team, they travelled on. The night was wet and dark, one of the men having to go aheadof the teams with a lantern. Reaching Florence they obtained a coffin, conveyed the remains back to Menominee on 13th inst., where they were interred the following day.
