Fatal Shooting Accident at Yarmouth
A shade OF sadness passed over our village
Saturday evening last, upon learning the
dreadful report that Mr.. Henry Gooding who
resides on Pleasant street had accidentally
shot himself through the head which proved
fatal
He went down to Chebeague Island that
afternoon in company with Mr.. Josiah Lorng
to see about job of work, and each took a
gun with them thinking that perhaps they
would come across some game They return
ed at o'clock, and were about to separate,
nearly opposite Mr.. Thos. Scammon's house,
when Mr. Loring passed the rifle he had been
using to Mr. Gooding who owned both the
guns. While Mr.. Loring's attention was at
tracted In another direction, he heard the TO-
port, and turned around quickly only to see
Mr.. Gooding lying az his feet corpse, the
contents of the gun having entered the right
eye, which resulted in death instantly. Drs.
Bates and Thomas vera soon in attendance
but nothing could be done for him, as he had
expired before they arrived. He was inn
mediately taken TO his residence, which was a
dreadful shock to his wife, who has been in
feeble health for several years. Mr.. Gooding
at the time of the accident, held both guns in
his right hand, while in the other he had
some ducks, a pair Ct mittens, shot and powder
TASKS, and 1t is thought that while he was
getting ready to start for his home, which was
only few rods away, that the shot gun must
have slipped from his hand and in trying TO
regain it struck heavily on the frozen ground
and discharged.
The deceased was the son of Mr.. Samuel
Gooding, one of our Oldest citizens, and ship
caiker by trade, but for the past few months
had been employed at the mill OF the Forest
Pulp Company. He wasa active, industrious
hard working man, always full OF good
humor, and ever willing to do a favor. He
was loving husband, a kind and indulgent
father, and had large circle Of friends, by
whom he viii be greatly missed, and most
OF all in his home. He leaves wife and one
child-a daughter--who have the sincere
sympathy Of the whole community. His age
was 81 years and months, and he belonged to
the Masonic relief
The funeral will occur at his late residence
this Tuesday afternoon at . o'clock, and will
be in charge of Casco Lodge, II. 4 A. NJ, Of
which he was member. b. ID. A.

tains the most important contributions TO law
literature for the last fifty years The Cum

look over as she is beautiful vessel, strongly
built of the very best materials, an extreme
clipper of 100 tons old measurement, and a
fine representative VI the Portland fleet Of
mackerel catchers. She was built by George
Christensen of Kennebunk, owned by a. M.
