We offered to-day 1,350 bales, and
sold 1,270 bales. Competition was brisk,
but a little irregular. Low grade wools
were quite firm, and better sorts a
shade easier. Greasy crossbred sold to
9d. Willow-park crossbred
and lambs, 8d. Merino, to 8½d (refused).
Alice Downs crossbred, 9d. Merino, 7½d.
Troffs, to 7¾d. Scoured sold well.
Stawell Scouring Co , to
16¾d. Talleyrand, to 15¾d.
(Independent.)
A serious accident occurred at the Troffs Station last
week to a 3-year old daughter of Mr. Geo. Hutton. It appears that the little one was playing on
the verandah, which is about two feet
above the ground, when she fell off,
fracturing the bone of her left leg
just above the knee. As the accident
happened in the evening the child could not be brought into town before next morning, when
she was at once placed under the care
of Dr. Johnson. We are
pleased to state that
she is progressing as
favorably as possible towards recovery

At Parkes Police
Court on Feb. 2, Geo. Hutton, ot Troffs Station,
proceeded against O'Brien
Brothers, of Yarrabundie, for travelling sheep through the former's run without giving
notice. The case was
dismissed, on the ground that notice was unnecessary, as sheep having travelled
under
forty miles were not travelling stock within the meaning of the act.

A Sad Accident.- On Friday last at Nelungaloo a sad drowning fatality occurred. Mr. G.
Hutton, who was proceeding to Sydney with his wife
and children, broke the
journey and intended staying for the night at Mr. J. G. Lackey's residence.
His little boy, 4 years of
age, wandered away from the house. A search was made for the little fellow
who was found in a creek close
at hand in about 2ft of
water. He was carried to the house and every
effort made to restore
life, but without success. Wide spread sympathy is expressed for Mr. and Mrs.
Hutton.
