distance OF over fifty yards by the vio-

several hundred yards
The eleventh, and final, shot was
fired this afternoon. 1t was aimed by
, Captain G.. r. Ward, recorder of the
Hoard, directly at one end of the target

mae now living in auckland, Mass,

Springfield Republican says, has been
confined i'll an iron cage for over fifty
years, and for more than thirty years
has not stood erect. He has become SO
deformed that it is impossible to
straighten his limbs by manual force.
He refuses to be clothed, and will not
suffer anything to remain on him, and
Is only kept warm in winter by warm
ing the room in which his cage isplaced.
He is the son of the Rev. Josiah Spaul-
ding. When he first became insane he
endeavored to murder his father, moth
er and sister, and it-became necessary
to confne him so that he could not
harm any one.
