that the patient was doing nicely, but
about $50 o'clock she was found on the

her sister having left the room about ID

had a fit while lying on the bed and rolled
onto the floor, although the doctor said
that the immediate cause of her death was
heart failure.
The deceased was the daughter Of Mrs
Mary Finn of 10 Willow street, Keene,
N. H., and her remains we're taken to hel

then whirled round suddenly and re-
turned to his companion.
II say, old man, said he, II sent
you away at exactly the wrong time.

Shall saxtons River Have New Brldgep

Shall Saxtons River Have New Bridge9
The bridge which crosses the Saxtons
river near Saxtons River village is in bad
shape and has been condemned as unsafe
On Thursday it was visited by bridge
expert from Springfield, Mass, and select
men Cory and Lawrence and given thor
ough inspection. 1t is reported that the
expert said the bridge was unsafe and
beyond repair. That being the case new
bridge should be built at once. Shall the
new one be built where the old one now
stands or at point lower down the river
is the question which is agitating the peo-
pie most interested, the citizens of Saxtons
River.
The only argument for rebuilding where
the old one stands is one of economy. 1t
seems that large majority Of the people
out that way favor crossing the river SO
that the bridge will be in nearly straight
line with Main street. This would require
the building of a longer bridge, but would
shorten the distance and straighten the
road. 1t is reported that the shorter iron
bridge would cost $500 and the longer
one $4,000. A petition signed by some 40
of the taxpayers of Saxtons River has
been filed with the selectmen ssking for
the longer bridge.
The selectmen meet next Tuesday to
determine what shall be done; if it is
decided to build new bridge, and this
seems the only way ont Of the difficulty, il
is probable that a special town meeting
will be called to settle the question Of loca-
ton.

cried Lampkin.

excitement of the chase. ''She found
after she had got her bag or trunk filled
that she had left out very necessary
article, and he chucked 'em in with his. !"
.Marvelous simply marvellous"
cried the doctor.
Hendricks closed the bag with jerk,
and as he rolled it on its side and put
his knee upon it to draw the straps into
place he looked about the room.
"Gi'me that newspaper behind thu
bed" he grunted as he tugged at the
1 last strap to fasten buckle.
DIR. Lampkin picked up the paper,
and Hendricks took it and spread it out
ON the bed.
"what did / tell your" he said.
"There's the jagged hole left by the
clipping. And, see, the paper is dated
yesterday afternoon. Pretty good find
for one room. Now for Miss Benton's. "
"They are all in there" said the
doctor. "At least they We're when we
