ACCIDENTAL SHooTISG.-The Bangor
Commercial gives the following particular.
OF the shooting OF Mr.. j. +. Douglass at
Dover Monday afternoon. The coroner
decided that the shooting was accidental.
lie was much respected citizen, and
leaves widow and children.
Mr.. Douglass had been in his usual
health and spirits on the day mentioned,
and at the hour stated went into the house
for his rifle, saying as he took it from its
place that he wished to shoot a hawk.
Nothing was thought of the matter. as the
rifle was frequently used by hun for the
same purpose. 4 short time had elapsed
when the people in the house heard the re-
port of a rifle. and went out TO ascertain
the result of the shot, when. upon enter
ing the stable, their eyes rested upon
terrible sight. In the rear OF the building
on the floor lay Mr.. Douglass, dead, his
rife lying at his side. An examination
was made, when the manner In which the
lesden messenger had done its fatal work
was readily seen. The ball entered the
upper lip, almost close TO the nose, and
passed obllQuely upward toward the back
of the head. blowing Off the skull. ard
scattering the brains of the unfortunate
man about the stable floor.
