“(By the Canadian Press.) Edmundston, N.B., October 10.––Victim of a sudden heart attack, Archibald Fraser, Edmundston, president of Fraser Companies, Limited, and a director of the Royal Bank of Canada and other financial organizations, dropped dead four miles from his hunting lodge at Nictau, on the Tobique River in Victoria County, at 1 p.m. today.

The Kincardineshire Colony

New Kincardineshire, August, 23, 1873

“Several rather serious accidents have recently occurred in this settlement, two to workmen from their axes; two, to little children in play with edge tools; one to a lumbermen in felling a tree; and while these have been surmounted with less or more pain and loss of time, a more serious calamity occurred on Thursday to two settlers, B. Annand and C. Chapman, while engaged in blasting rocks on the Kincardine Road. Both men are very much injured, although up to this evening the extent of their injuries or all the danger from them are not ascertained fully.

The danger of walking into our woods without guide company or a reasonable knowledge of wood-craft was illustrated in a previous week by a settler who took a near cut through a part of the forest to see some of his land, and got not out again for 48 hours, or until quite a hundred men were engaged in searching for him.
