John WlIeit Loses His Life.

Kineo. July 2l.-John Willett, one of
the best guides in the Moosehead lakes
region. was accidentally shot and
killed. Saturday, by his brother Sam.
Both brothers had been working in a
field near Northeast carry, hoeing pc

party of sportsmen. including f. l..
lioff OF Boston. The brothers accom-
panied Tucott down to the wharf.
where the sportsmen were amusing
themselves by firing at a bottle in the
water. one of the sportsmen passed q
sun to Tucott ana asked him to see il
he could hit the bottle. After several
unsuccessful attempts, Tucott handed
it in turn to John Willett. John fired
several shots at the bottle ana re
turned to the hotel piazza. which was
about 50 feet from the wharf, where he
sat down on the steps
shortly afterward the entire party
returned from the wharf and began
discussing the merits of the gun and
the possibility Of its range of fire Sam
Willett. who sat Oh n chair on the pl
ARA directly behind John. remarked
that he thought he could hit the bottle
from where he was sitting. He was
asked to try. and he fired several shots
which fell short of the mark.
After pause he prepared to fire
another shot Closing one eye. he took
aim and pulled the trigger. John. who
sat with his back toward Sam, thought
that the shooting had ceased. ana
arose to return to work just as Sam
fred lie was hut three feet from the
mu2zle of the gun, ana the top of his
head was blown off.
John and Sam were considered two
of the best guides in this section. and
were in great demand by moose hunt
crs. as they were expert shots and ac-
customod to firearms. Poor Sam was
wild with grief and had To be re-
strained from attempting 10 follow his
brother to the great beyond.
John did not breathe his last until
some - minutes after the shooting.
Then he expired without having re-
turned To consciousness. The remains
