Fell Into River Most Vividly Was it Brought Home to the Juror That Walk Where Tettrie Was Working is a Dangerous One. Is the walk provided for the em- Ployees on the C. P. R. bridge con- struction dangerous? The jury in the Tettrie case last night decided it It you ask J. H. Bannon, one of the emparmeled jurors, he will n0 doubt swear by all that is holy: that it is, amd M:. Barmon ought to know, in fact it might be said that Mr. Bannon does know, it might al- so be said that he has ample evi dence to convinee him and others that he does know. Mr. Bannon did not sit on the jury last might. In- stead he was likely ouddled up in his is. little cot, with the clothes tightly wrapped about him. The cold dark reacherous waters-of the Saskatche- wan, the death dealing stream which snatched away the life of Tettrie was the cause. Mr. Bannon with the other jurors went to visit the bridge where Tet- trie fell in and while navigating over. the timbers Mr. Bannon was precipitated into the water. As sistance was at hand, however, and other than the cool, unwelcome and sudden ducking he suffered no injury. He was excused from serving om the jury. Sent for.

Dispatoh.) Edmonton, Sept. 3. In contrast with the downpour of rain at Prince Albert yesterday afternoon, it was in pleasant weather under a clear sky that the Royal train approached the capital of Albert this morning. An immense throng greeted the train on its arrival and through streets lined with cheering crowds and gay with flags, bunting and other decora- tons, the Duke of Conraught, the Duchess and Princess Patriea were driven to the courthouse where the civic address of welcome was pre- sented, in reply to which His Royal Highness said: Your Worship and Gentlemen: T have the greatest pleasure in re- ceiving your address of weleome and your loyal and dutiful expressions towards His Majesty the King, whic wh ch you give re- Progress of your city Poignant in meaning. garding the are few but They deal with recent years only and key mbde in Badmonton of pure Sas- 415, Sept. 3. it. would have been instructive. to know the equivalent figures regard- ing the times when men walked, as numbers of living en have done, from Edmonton to Winnipeg on slologist, called the. gathering to snowshoes. : Such Sgures wonld have given an interesting lesson in the power of the railways to develop a country for no where is that power better exempli fied than in the westero provinces of Canada. - Not only had Edmonton progress- ed im a marvellous manner, but in the midst of your material prosper- ity you have always kept in mind the outward dignity of. your city Preserving the natural beauty of the site where it stands and making of it a capital in every way worthy of the great and thriving province of Alberta.
