A fatal accident took place at the marl beds of the Superior Portland Cement Co. near Caledon Lake about four o'clock on Friday afternoon. William Carson, one of the company's employees, was the unfortunate victim. Carson was assisting to operate the steam dredge, with which the marl is removed from the bed and loaded on the cars. Carson, who was in charge of the operations, gave the signal to lower the bucket. In some manner he got under the heavy implement, which struck him on the back of the head, breaking his neck and also fracturing several ribs. Death was practically instantaneous. Drs. Kyles and Hunter were hurriedly summoned, but could do nothing except ascertain the facts connected with the fatality. Later in the evening Dr. James Henry, coroner, drove out to the scene of the accident and had the body removed on the Cement Company's cars to the round-house at the C.P.R. yards. Later on the remains were handed over to Undertaker Hulse. It was decided that it was unnecessary to hold an inquest, as the stories told by eye-witnesses showed that no one was to blame. Carson was a widower and about 60 years of age. He is survived by one son, Wm. Carson, of Toronto, and a daughter, Mrs. Hunter, of Orangeville. The funeral was held from his late residence on John St. to Greenwood cemetery on Sunday afternoon. Rev. G.A. Rix was the officiating clergyman.
