one of the handsomest build
ings ever erected in this city.
This magnificent structure is
situated on Broadway, be-

streets, the dimensions being
40 feet front and 125 feet
deep. Besides the basement
there are six stores on the
FIRST floor, and 90 rooms in
the second and third stories,
each one being supplied with
a hot water radiator, making
it the only building in the
city having such modern i'm
provements. The Wilson
block, outside of the stores,
will be used as a hotel, to be
known as the Broadway Ho-

by the first bullet, the deer bounded
into q small clump of brush, the only

shot after shot into the thickct when

was afraid to leave the bushes and

PUFFERa

the back would be something like a
f1attened dome in outline The under
side of the fish Is milk white; the back
is of gray and white, thiclsly peppered
with very small black or dark brown
spots, overlaid at irregular intervals
with larger patches CT brown. A strip
along the lower sides of the fish is Of
yellow, crossed by marks of black or
dark brown. A conspicuous feature of
the puffer is its eyes, which are bright
blue, with yellow rims
The colors and markings above de-
scribed may change, for the puffer, like
many other fishes, can change its colors
to suit its surroundings. The yellow
stripes along the lower sides may
change to very pale pink, and then to
gray, and then fade away entirely; and
as the fish lies upon the gravel the
larger brown patches may grow lighter
or merge with the smaller spots, which
grow paler and grayer also, until the
whole back of the fish is so like the sur
rounding gravel in color that six feet
away its presence would not be discov-
cred. And the puffer can further hide
at the bottom by burying itself in the
sand. AS it sinks down il throws sand,
with it's fins, up over its back, covering
Itself so completely as to leave only its
eyes exposed.
The puffcr distends itself by taking
In air or wafer through the mouth into
the abdominal cavity; it puffs itself up,
and very quickly, into almost the
shape of globe. This Is another pro-
vision of nature TO help the fish to es-
cape its enemies Pursued by larger
fish of prey, it makes itself so big that
it's pursuer can't swallow it But IL
the pursucr should be n fish big enough
to take in the puffer, even when dis
tended, the puffer suddenly expels tho
air or water from itself and slips out
of its capturer's mouth II it can Often
when attacked and driven to the sur
face the puffer initiates itself there and
floats along, moved by current or by
the wind for considerable distance
on top of the water. The pursuing fish
is, perhaps, disturbed by seeing it's in
tended victim change before its eyes or
it doesn't like to hunt so near the sur
face, and after time it gives up tho
pursuit, and then the puffer collapses
and swims away.
If the puffer Is taken out of the
water and held in the hand 1t will

ACCIDENT OR MURDER.
Montague Citize Greatly Excited Over
Death OF John kevins.

Residents of Montague are to be counted
among those who think that it is about
time that halt was called in the
slaughter of human beings, by those who
shoot at anything Or anyone when in
quest of game The sad accident which
occurred at nat town, Tuesday morning
through which John Nevins, young son
of John J. Nevins, lost his life by being
mistaken for a partridge, has thoroughly
aroused the people up that way.
The boy who did the shooting was Fred
Doe, aged IL years The Montague people
who are acting in this case do not speak
in complimentary terms of the boy or his
general behavior In fact these who saw
him early on the day of this tragedy
allege that he had been drinking and had
been furnishing his rifle in very careless
manner before he shot Nevins.
The funeral of young Nevins was held,
Wednesday, and after the remains had
been laid away in the cemetery, the be-
rcaved father, accompanied by party of
several citizens, came to Old Town and
appeared before Recorder Powell in the
municipal court and asked that q warrant
be made out for the arrest of the Doc boy,
a charge Of murder in the first degree
being preferred against him.
The warrant had not been placed in the
hands Of any sheriff, Thursday morning,
but it is understood that it will be- and a
day set for hearing as soon as Judge
Whiting of the municipal court, returns
home, which will be in few days.-Ban-
