The TALES you probably never heard about

JOHN JARDINE

[Welland Tribune, 2 April 1897]

A HAPPY CORRECTION- Contrary to the usual, it is the greatest pleasure we make correction of an incorrect report published in last week’s TRIBUNE. We refer to the report of the accidental death of John Jardine, Niagara Falls, N.Y., which was all a mistake. From the manner and circumstantiality of detail with which the report reached us we were fully warranted in accepting it as correct, but happily it was wholly without foundation, except as probably originating from the accidental death of Joseph J. Bauer at the time and place in question. Mr. Jardine, therefore, is one of the few who has the distinction of reading his own obituary.
