The A1strnd Shouting Amin.

Considerable interest was shown here
last Friday and Saturday in the shooting
affair at Alstead last Friday afternoon,
particularly as the lad who did the shoot
ing was, up to a few months ago, a we'll
known urchin on the streets, living in
Frost block, and generally known as
young tough. The story was much eXag-
gerated at first, it being understood that
three girls were shot, one of whom had
died and that it was done Intentionally.
The facts are that Frank Porter, boy of
10, who works for a Mr.. Richardson two
miles south of Alstead, had an old army
musket with which he had been shooting
woodchucks, and going into neighbours,
by name Jasper Smith, pointed it at his two
daughters of eight and ten years, and in
some way it was accidentally discharged,
and the charge of shot, grazing the top of
the head of the smaller took effect in the
shoulder and chin of the elder. DR.. Allbee
was sent for from here He found the
wounds not serious but a very narrow es-
cape. Young Porter was taken in charge
of Sheriff Dodge until Saturday afternoon,
when the matter having been fully inquired
into it was decided to have been accidental
and the boy was discharged. Most of the
parties interested were known here in Bel
lows Falls, and it was reported as so serious
at first that it caused quite a commotion
here as well as at Alstead.

present was from an employee of the third

warmly. 1t was very thoughtful thing
for him to do, They were sent to Mr.. Swain
