Mr. Ward was riding carriage in a saw mill when the accident occurred. It was at first thought the injured man would recover, but he rapidly grew worse despite the efforts of physicians from a neighboring city. Mr. Ward was twenty-six years of age, and resided here the greater part of his life. Mrs. Ward, mother of the deceased, went to Parish Wednesday and was with her son when he died. The remains were brought to this city yesterday morning on Lake Shore road.
