KIBLING A HERO.
The Man Sentenced 90 Years for Liquor
selling Rescued a Girl at RapOnda.

The Man Sentenced 90 Years for Liquor
Selling Rescued a Girl at RapOnda.
George F. Kibling of Hanover, n. H.,
comes to light this week in the role of a
hero. Kibling is the man who was stn-
fenced to serve go years in the house of
correction for violating the prohibltory law.
He had been liquor seller in Hanover, and
the faculty OF Dartmouth college drove him
from the town. He then went across the
Connecticut and established a saloon in
Norwich near the bridge which connects
that town with Hanover. The Dartmouth
students focked there to imbibe exhilarat-
ing drinks. The faculty had the saloon
watched and several hundred offences of
liquor selling were proved against Kibling
After he had served four years of his sell
tence he was pardoned by Gov. Fuller. One
of KILLINGS children had just died of diph-
liberia, the other child was critically i'll, and
his wife needed his care. His pardon was
conditional upon good behavior. KILLINGS
case attracted much attention and Charles
ii. Hoyt used it as the foundation of his
popular play, "A Temperance Town"
Since his release from the house of cor
rection Kibling has been a good citizen.
Last summer he ran the little steamer on
Lake Morey in Fairlee, and this year did
similar work at Raponda in Wilmington.
While at work in the steamer at Whining
ton one day he heard splash in the water.
He at once saw that little girl who had
0een playing upon the wharf was missing.
The girl was sinking for the third time,
when Kibling jumped into the water and
rescued her. A few days ago he received
letter from Mr. Sibley of Bennington, the
father of the girl, expressing heartfelt
thanks for his bravery and enclosing $40
| gold piece.

MASSACHUSETTS NOTES.
Highwaymen at Palmer.

Two recent shooting affairs in Palmer
have thoroughly aroused the citizens of
that place. Andrew Pinney, agent of the
Palmer Carpet company, was shot and Sc
riousy injured Friday. While returning
from dinner his horse was seized by a
masked man who jumped from the woods
at the side of the road, and demanded Mr..
Pinney's money, Mr.. Pnney struck the
man with whip, also striking the horse.
The horse broke loose and started toward
the mill, the highwayman firing two shots
at Mr.. Pinney as he passed. The first en-
tered the right breast. The second enter
ed the left leg just above the knee. Upon
Mr.. Pinney's arrival home it was found
that both balls had passed beyond the
reach of probe. The wound in the chest
was the most serious, having slightly in
jured the lung.
A shot was fred at d. W. Foskett, pro-
prietor of Foskett's mills, which are To-
Gated near Palmer, Saturday evening. The
bullet passed through the top of Mr.. Fos-
kett's carriage. The motive in the latter
case is not known. Neither assailant has
been found and it is possible that both as
saults were made by the same person.

Tragedy Mt PIa,nnsId, NH.

Walter II. Hunt of Plainfield shot
and killed Irving Smith Monday af-
ternoon and then shot himself through the
heart. Smith was digging potatoes for a
neighbor when Hunt approached the field
in partially intoxicated condition and
emptied the. contents of his gun into
Smiths side. Smiths assistant ran
for help while Hunt fired two
more shots at the dead man. Hunt then
fled but his body was soon found lying
curled up on the ground with revolver be-
side it. His clothing was nearly all burned
off and his body was terribly burned and
discolored. Hunt had always borne an I'M
savory reputation but it is thought that
the present trouble was due to too init
mate relations between Smith and Hunts
wife

A hunter saw something floundering on
the shallow water on the shore of Granite
lake, Munsonville, Friday, and sent a
charge of shot in that direction. He killed
brook trout which weighed three pounds.
The farm barn of James Ellis of Heath
was burned Friday with 20 tons of hay,
one horse, calf, farming tools, etc. 1t is
thought that the careless use of matches
by Mr. Elliss children is responsible for
the fire.
A fire at Orange on Thursday night of
last week destroyed the new house on Clio
yer Blossom farm owned b Harry (.
Weymouth. The origin of the fire is not
positively known, though it is thought to
have started from the heater which was
started for the winter a few days before.
Brenton H. Mosher of Athol was hunt
ing alone in the woods near Fryeville Sat
urday afternoon. In some way he stun
bled and both barrels of his gun we're dis

forearm. He walked back toward Athol
until team overlook him. The arm was
amputated and the man will recover.

Kendall, was insured for 5000.
A second attempt was made to burn the
armory of the Keene Light Guard Thurs
day night of last week. A member who
happened to be in another part of the
building smelled smoke and discovered a
burning pile of wood in the basement. A
dipper was found near by which had con.
tanned kerosene.
A recent unsuccessful attempt was made
to rob the safe of Chamberlain, Patten &
Co. at Nashua. Eight holes were drilled

two large holes in the composition, but the
inside composition held, and the content;
of the safe were not revealed.

The sturdiness Of the north and it.
rather grim self will are admirably H.
Illustrated by two Yorkshire anecdotes. A
landlord of very old family proposed tc
make an alteration i'll one of his tenants
farm buildings, which the tenant de-
olined to permit, whereupon the land.
lord remarked very mildly that after
all, the building was his own. There.
upon tho tenant rejoined, Nay, my
forefather went to the crusades with
your forefathcr, and you shan touch a
stone of it. -
Again, u daughter of one of the lead
ing citizens of a Yorkshire town limited
to her fathers gardener that the family
would like to appropriate the greenhouse
to the purposes of winery, whereupon
she was told TO let her father know "he
may just choose betwixt me and the
grapes" OF course the proposal was
abandoned.
