A Startling Affair.-The commul

A Startling Affair.-The community
was startled Wednesday afternoon by
the report that Harold, the 13-year-old
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Frank N. Brown,
had been shot in the face. So many
stories had been circulated about the
affair that the public will be glad to
learn the facts in the case.
Harold and a younger playmate were
playing in Harold's room and without
any warning the other boy drew re-
volver and shot Harold in the jaw. The
ball penetrated the jaw and lodged in his
mouth Harold went downstairs to the
bathroom and then started OF his own
accord for the doctors house. There his
mother found him short time after and
the wound was dressed. The doctor
found that portion OF the jaw bone had
been broken, but that the bullet had
lodged in the mouth without doing any
further damage. The boys face was
dlshgured by the powder and there was
quite flow of blood from the wound.
Harold is getting along very comfortably
now and will undoubtedly recover.
1t has since transpired that there was
a clique OF about dozen boys, ranging
in age from II to 10, who had been read
ing sensational literature and some of
them owned revolverS. At least one of
the boys bought his revolver in town,
and it is probable that Others bought
theirs here. The boys had kept the mat
ter OF their society very carefully from
their parents, who never suspected until
very recently that they had any firearms.
This unfortunate affair will result in
breaking up OF the society that made the
possession of a revolver a qualification
for membership, and also call attention
to the surprising fact that firearms are
being sold to minors. The parents of
both the boys are deeply affected by the
occurrence, and should not be harshly
blamed Ior an affair which they would
have been only too glad to prevent had
they known what kind oil society their
bows had ioned

tion. Ties, pulpwood and logs were
scattered in every direction. The passen-
ger car on the rear of the train did not
leave the rails. The wreck train was
sent up from Lyndonville, but the track
was not clear until alter seven o'clock
Tuesday morning.
The Stanstead branch train went to
the wreck to transfer passengers, but
while shifting at Stanst cad Junction pre-
paratory to starting, some freight cars
were backed on to the passenger car with
the result that the drawbar of the pas
senger car was broken and the trucks
knocked out, delaying them about three
hours.
The third accident was the breaking OF
a steam chest at Brad ord on the noon
train north. This delayed the train
about three-quarters of an hour
The south-bound night mail train Mon
day was made up at Newport on account
of the wreck at Smiths Mills, and left
there with a mail car, a baggage car and
a passenger car. About one mile norlh h
OF Ely the passenger car LEFT the rails
and the accident happening on a curve
the baggage car could not be uucoupled
so had TO be left with the wrecked car.
The passengers were taken to White
River Junction in the mail car. An en-
CINE and crew were sent down from here,
the St. ]. & L. c. wreck train was
pressed into service and the track was
cleared in short time after arriving on
the scene.
Tuesday morning a freight train, in
setting off cars at Barton, backed some
freight cars off the end of the siding. The
wreck train returning from Smiths Mills
restored order.

Held for FOrgery.-Charles Craig is
languishing in the county Jail awaiting
his trial for raising money by means OF
forged checks. Craig was employed the
past winter by the Hawkes. Electric Co.,
who have been putting in the Lyndon
vile plant On Feb. % he visited st.
Johnsbury and bought an overcoat in
the store of E. D. Steele & Co., for which
he rendered check of $37.40. AS this
was more than his purchase the check
was taken in the store and Craig received
the balance, $23, in cash. The check
was dated at Boston and drawn on the
American Loan & Trust Co., of Provi
dence, r. l. 1t was signed by the
Hawkes. Electric Co., and made payable
to Frank Smith. The check was pro-
tested in Boston and the matter was
placed in Sheriff Sideways hands for
solution. Last Friday morning Craig
tried TO bny pair Of shoes of w d.
Poole of Lvndonville, rendering him a
check for $27.40. The check was made
out in the same way as the one passed
at Steele's store. Mr. Poole suspected
something crooked and had Craig held
until he could get word to Sheriff Sullo-
way. Mr.. Tapin, manager of Steele's
store reached Lyndonville first and Craig
settled with him on the spot. When the
sheriff arrived Craig cooly informed him
that the matter had been all fixed up
and there was no need of any legal pro-
ceedings. MIR. Sulloway arrested him on
the spot for felony, and at his trial
before Judge Worcester Friday he waived
examination and was placed under $1,000
for appearance at the June term of court.

nual excursion to the Reading Fair will
be run on Thursday, September 18th
will be welcome TO many readers, for
opportunities TO see 80 much for so lit.

The popularity in the past Pilgrim
ages to The hOspitable "city in the hills"
has always been an incentive to the
railroad management TO do everything
possible for the comfort and enjoyment
of the excursionists. The trains have
been so timed that one may ''do" the
mountain railroads, sea the sights of
the city or visit friends, and then spend
an afternoon at the Fair grounds, see
the racing aud all the exhibits before
starting for home-so that nothing
need be Sighted in order TO get ''all
around" Boat leaves Penn's Grove at
6 a. m.
The return train will leave Reading
at 200 p. m, in order that may be at
home at a seasonable hour. boat will
run to Penn's Grove after return of ex-

Blanket buying time is here.
Nine S~eptembers ago we
proved our ability to sell blank
cts cheapest in late m
Now it's as natural to forestall
blanket wants as to have the
coal bins filled. We've made
other trade-startling innova-
tons in the blanket business
we've introduced honest
blanket selling. Lying labels
have no place under this roof.
"Io-4" on a blanket label was
meant to convey to the pur-
chaser theidea thatthe blanket
was ten quarters of a yard or
90 in. wide-but, alas ! the
yard stick proved that the la
bel was a misguide. We in
troduced labels that told the
actual sizes in inches-and
we never state blanket sizes
in any other way. We have
no monopoly on inches and
other blanket labels are
marked ininches now, but often
it's the same old "Io-4" fab
rication merely multiplied by
nine.
Blankets were never so
cheap.
From the best American
blanket understand America
makes the best blankets
we've gathered such blanket
goodness as will appeal to
every housewife. On a few
lines prices are the same as
those quoted just a year ago
when we broke the record
in blanket value-giving, but
many lines are cheaper now
than then, and we've seen to
it that the standard of excel
lence has been raised in every
line of blankets produced to
our order. Fresh, clean, good,
,luxuriant bed clothing! Stocks
are at their best. Prices are
at their lowest right now.

In our advertising columns is an.
nouncement of the famous Peirce
School for its thirty-second year. This
representative business school will be
continued along the same educative
lines laid down by its eminent founder,
Doctor Thomas May Peirce, its princi.
pal for 81 years. Doctor Peirce was
not only u teacher of rare ability, but
all expert accountant, who ranked
among the best. Every method he in
troduced was tested from the business
side as well as the school side.
DR.. PIERCE chose his teachers with
great care. Each is a specialist in his
work. The same faculty is engaged
for the coming year that he selected for
last year, the most prosperous in its
successful career. Under the same
management, in the same quarters, in
the handsome Record Building, a sue
cessful continuance is confidently pre-
dicted.
