Killed Instantly
On Friday last a telegram came to Mr R.M. Paterson with the shocking news that his brother, Mr Jas. B. Paterson, had been instantly killed in San Julian, Chihuahua, Mexico, on the 13th of June, by falling into the drive wheel of a stamp mill. These are the meagre details that told the sad story. The delay in getting the word is accounted for by the fact that Mr Paterson was engaged in putting in a mining plant at a place some two hundred miles back in the country the only means of travel to and from being on horseback. The deceased was the eldest of five sons of Mr Wm Paterson, of Ramsay, and was about 44 years of age. When twenty years of age he went to Ottawa and learned the machinist business and afterwards went West, and finally landed in Mexico about sixteen years ago. having possessed himself of a knowledge of mechanical engineering he at once secured lucrative employment at the mines, and it was while engaged at this work that he met his death He was married a few years ago to an American lady in Mexico, who survives him. On receipt of the telegram Mr Paterson at once communicated with the sender, and expects to shortly receive full particulars of the shocking occurrence.
