which lay there, passed them over to
his companion. When the elder fisher
man enquired what these things meant,
the cOntiscator of firearms intimated
that unpleasant results had occurred to
those who interviewed parties possessed
of hOt-guns-referring no doubt to a
late unpleasantness which occurred in
the neighbOIing town of Walden. When
the hungry fishermen were disarmed,
they were informed that they were ar

years was in '6I-2, when only little

snow fell there than on the low grounds

Mr.. Ranney at once let on the water
again, at the same time telling Hall the
consequences which must inevitably
follow in Il few minutes if water was
shut off from IL boiler carrying such an
amount of steam. which was that there
would he an explosion and they would
all he blown up. Hall made some re-
ply about "blowing them all to hell,
or something of that kind. and soon
Ranney went below. On returning i'll
few minutes he found Hall had again
shut down the gate and was on the
wheel. white several wOrkmen were
gathered about in threatening man

then water has continued to flow ut the

he boarded up the mouth of the tiume

grist mill, opened the gates and let the
water run night and day, thereby draw

paper mill sought legal redress, an'

rupting matters any more III that way.
Halls grievance is this: He bough
the grist mill in April, and he claim
that his mill has prior right to thu
water. Even if this is so, it seems a

force his claim.

A Four Thousand Dollar Gift to the
Lamoille Railroad


On Tuesday of this week, Chaunccy
and Harrison Warner of Cambridge,
paid over to the directors of the La
noble Valley railroad, four thousand
dollars as free gift. Some five years
ago when this railroad project was first
inaugurated, these men said TO the
directors that when satisfied that the
enterprise was to he IA success, they
would give the company two thousand
dollars each: and Tuesday they came
forward and made good their verbal
promise. These Warner brothers are
among the largest and best farmers in
the valley, and are careful, conservative
business men. They show by their
acts that they have confidence in the
enterprise, and it is admitted on all
hands that they are good judges in
matters like this.

Sad Accident at McIndoe's.--Two Boys
Drowned

Drowned.
\ dreadful accident occurred at Nc
Indoc's Falls Thursday afternoon of last
week. Two boys were playing on the
river bank below the dam,-onc a son
of John Dixon, aged :, and the other a
son of Geo. Raymo. aged ) years, when
they got into an old lcaky boat that had
been abandoned and left on the shore,
and pushed out into deep water. Some
workmcn on the dam saw the boys i'll
the boat on the shore, but did not again
notice them until they saw the boat
bottom up and the boys hats on the
water. Almost Immediately they saw
the boys rise to the surface and then
disappear. These men FASTENED down
the shore, and Len. Greggs. an expert
swimmer, went into the water, and af-
ter diving three times, brought up the
Dixon boy. Although he had been i'll
the water but Il few minutes, and Il
doctor was Immediately called, all eff
| forts to resusctate him We're unaVailing.
The body of the other boy was not re-
covered for two or three hours. Late
rains had made the water somewhat
muddy. which added to the difficulty of
finding the bodies. The water at this
place was about fifteen feet deep. This
Srdden bereavement of two families
casts Il gloom over the community, and
adds two more to the already long list
of deaths 10y drowning.
