press notices received all along the line,
this company under the efficient manage
ment OF the gentlemen from Bellows Falls
was one of the best, if not the best, re-
pertoire company on the road.
IL. w. Keene, M. ii. Ray, l.. l.. Royce,
and j. ii. Blakl.y, who went to Wild
wood, N. H., last week on deer-hunting
expedition, were royaly entertained at the
Wildwood camp belonging to the Fall
Mountain Paper company, where 20 men
are engaged in constructing two dams
under the direction of John II. Chapman.
Though numerous traces of deer we e
seen, the tall brush efficiently protected
them from the hunters, who returned with
unsatiated appetites for venison. A return
to Wildwood in the near future is antici-
pated by the party.

John Harbour Accidentally Shot.

A party of four deer hunters, composed
of Wilton A Wall of Bennington and John
and Harry Harbour OF Woodford, started
last Thursday afternoon for Deer Cabin in
quest of game They had proceeded but
few miles beyond the Hotchkiss clearing,
when upon the approach of night they de-
cided to camp in wood choppers cabin.
While Harry Harbour set about preparing
supper, his two companions took their guns
and went in search of the deer. They had
been gone but little time when Mr.. Wall
heard the firing of a gun just ahead of him
and cry of 81 am shot, from John Har-
bour, who was some distance from him.
Running back to the cabin he called
Harry Harbour and both started to find
the wounded man. They were unsuccess-
full, however, though they searched the
woods until morning. A general alarm
was then given and party of 40 men
turned out and at l o'clock Friday morn
ing the body was found some 80 feet from
the place where it must have fallen.
The grass and bushes show for that dis
lance that some weight was drawn over
them. When found he lay on his back,
his arms lay by his side and his double
barrel shotgun, each barrel containing an
ounce ball. lay by his side. He had on a
thick hunting jacket, the outside of sheep
skin. There was severe bruise on the
right temple in direct line with the place
where the ball entered and furrow on his
neck would indicate that he made some
struggle after he fell. That he was moved
after death is surmlsed from the fact tn at
bis head was elevated about two inches
from the ground and nothing under it.
The party that were camped Just above
them apparently left camp early as nothing
h,s been seen of them since the shooting
The opinion is that while standing by
tree with his coat, some one saw it moving,
thought it was deer and shot with fatal
effect.
1t is also thought that an accidental shot
from the gun of one of two men who
were in camp about half mile above Har-
bour's camp, did the deed. They disap-
peared from their camp soon after and did
not join in the search. Deputy Nash has
summons to take them both before the
states attorney for examination as soon as
he can find them.
The two were met at a point several
miles from where the tragedy occurred
about s o'clock the morning after the
shooting. They claimed to have camped
near where they were seen the night before.
The authorities are by no means satisfied
with what has thus far come to light re-
garding the tragedy and States Attorney
Bates in company with Judge Darling went
to the scene to hold an inquest
