A HORRIBLE ACCIDENT.
A Fairfield Man Probably Fatally Injured
While at Work. Friday.

Fairfield, July so -(Special). A terri
BILE and probably fatal accident occurred
here, Tuesday afternoon Joe Sawyer,
while at work in the shop with his father,
S. o. Sawyer, was struck by large knife
that flew from the moulding machine,
which was being run at a high speed
The knife made a cut through the abdo-
men about two inches long, perforating
the intestines.
The young man was taken to the office
of fash & Croker, and DR.. fash fortu-
nately was in, as in a few seconds the
man would have bled to death. Every.
thing was done there that was possible
DR.. Rand of Fairfield, assisting.
1t was thought best before any opera
ton to take tie young man to his father S
home, and he was borne there ON a
stretcher, as the bleeding was so profuse
that it was impossible to put him In a
team.
DIR. F. c. Thayer of Waterville, was
summoned to assist in the examination
with Drs. fash, and Croker and DR.
Rand.
The wound was found to be much worse
than expected, and there is but very little
hope of his recovery. The accident has
cast gloom over the village, for Joe is o
favorite and a fine young man.

stormy one. In the course of the debate
of the budget, Signor Imbriani, the

cheers for the King
Afterward in the debate on the items In
the budget appropriating money for the
ministry of the interior, Signor Vendemini,
Radical, declared that the extreme Left
would not discuss tho budget of minis

worse. Several members of the majority
angrily protested against Vendemini's
Language, and Premier Crispl twice
shouted Infamous. -
The Radical and Socialist deputies were
finally shouted down, and, finding them
selves powerless against the majority, the
members of those parties, with the single
exception OF Signor Bovio, Socialist,
walked out of the Chamber.

VigiIant Wins from Defender
by Accident to Latter.
Defender Strikes a l4-Knots Gait,
Running Before the Wind.
Unprecedented Run OF Fleet from Eaton
Point to New London.

New London, CT, July 30. Yachts
men never had more glorious day for Il
cruise than the members of the New
York Yacht Club enjoy cd today. There
was wind in plenty and had the yachts
been trife less fleet, disaster might have
been written in the days record, for the
wind became gale shortly after the
squadron was safe in New London harbor.
AS 1t was, the schooner Montauk got a
knockdown blow which twisted one of
her boats from the davits, and the De-
fender had her steering gear jammed so
that she was obliged to pull out of the
race and permit the Vigilant to score one
against her.
When the Defender quit she was lead
ing the Vigilant by minutes and 80
seconds, according to an observer in tho
lighthouse off this harbor. AS the De-
fender started 33 seconds later than the
Vigilant, the new boat had minutes
and seconds to her credit, and the race
was practically finished.
The days run was from Eaton's Point
off Huntington Bay, L. to New Lon
don, Ga miles. In order that the yachts
might complete the run before dark, tho
start was made at G. 80 A. NJ.
To the surprise of all the veterans, the
yachts arrived here about half an hour be-
fore noon, an unprecedented record for u
cruise run. The best time made by any
of the yachts was hours, 36 minutes and
"a seconds. the time of the schooner Con-
stellation. This was an average of - 9
knots an hour.
The Vigilant averaged 10 Z knots Up
to the time of her accident the Defender
averaged very nearly IA knots. This
time was made on a broad reach which
was very nearly run before the wind at
times. In other years it has been found
necessary to devote two days to the run to
this port

The Facts About II.

Those who read the news about the
Holmes murder trial will remember
the sensational report that came enc
day to the effect that the prisoner had
summarily dismissed his lawyers. This
proceeding was looked upon as the act
of a crank or. at least. of a person
who. for motives of his own, wish ed
to appear erratic.
The way the Philadelphia newspa-
pers put 1T, however. there was more
to this incident than was conveyed in
the press reports; the alleged dismissal
of the attorneys was a bit of trickery
and an unprofessional performance.
1t appears that the attorneys for the
prisoner asked for a continuance. They
could not back their request with valid
reasons; they could not prove the al
legged absence of important witnesses;
they had been favored with many
weeks of time in which to prepare for
the trial. Failing to secure a continu-
ance. the withdrawal of the attorneys
is said to have been little scheme, as
the result of which a postponement
could be forced. the theory being that,
in the lapse of time. some of the wit
nesses for the prosecution would be no
longer within reach or that, at any
rate, something or other to the prison.
er's benefit might turn up.
When the withdrawal of the attor-
neys was announced. Judge Arnold
promptly ruled that such a course
would result in their disbarment
Thus the scheme was cornered. The
attorneys consulted with the pris-
oner and he saved the day by making
it appear that he had dismissed them.
The case thereupon proceeded because
the court could not be made the vic
tim of trick.
In many ways the manner in which
the Holmes case was conducted merits
public approval. 1t goes without say
ing that the case was an important
one-the popular belief is that Holmes
is guilty of twenty-two murders. Public
sentiment, 1t may be. ran against him
as 1t is supposed to have run against
Durrant. Weary weeks were practi-
cally wasted in getting twelve men
into the jury box for the trial of Dur
rant: in the case of Holmes, the trial
started one morning and, before night
of that day, the twelve jurors had
been sworn in. That is the sensible
way to run a trial of the sort.

rights in Alaska. The boundaries be-

in 1925. 1t was not easy. perhaps, at
khe time. to define the eastern hne-it
was to follow srhe summit of a range Of
mountains. AT that early day, exact
surveys were cat OF che question; II
may be that the work of careful sur
veyors is needed in order to ascertain
just where the boundary lime runs. In
that event. the duty of the Dominion

London, is to propose joint operations,
as hhe result of which the border line
shall be established.

surveyors run a line and then under

opening for trouble in which several
millions of American citizens would
like to take a hand.
