Buffalo Courier & Republic
Friday, 24 October, 1873

         About half past ten o'clock last night CHARLES SPAREN,
       mate of the bark Higgie & Jones, accidentally fell down
       one of the hatches, a distance of twelve feet, and sus-
       tained injuries internally and about the head which will
       probably prove fatal. The boat had just left the City
       elevator where she had discharged her cargo, when the
       accident occurred. Dr. Daggett was sent for and rendered
       medical aid. SPAREN is a single man and resides in
       Chicago.
