the clear truth OF his bump commenta-

BOSTON BUSINESS MAN KILLED.

Nahant, Mass, February 22.-George
W. Simmons, well-known business man
of Boston, accidentally shot and killed
himself at his summer residence here to-
day. Mr.. Simmons had come down to
inspect the house and grounds, 1t being
a holiday, and had brought with him a
rife. After an hour or two spent in look
ing around the place, with the caretaker,
Mr.. Smith, he started off for walk on
the bluff, taking the rife with him. He
was gone for two or three hours, return
ing about O'Clock. Mr.. Smith saw him
enter the house, and later heard him in
the dining room. A few minutes after
Mr.. Smith heard the report and rushing
into the house found Mr.. Simmonds ly-
ing ON the floor gasping for breath and
unable to speak. He died in a few min
utes. The rife was on the floor beside
him and an oiled rag was on the table,
while in the weapon was the she'll of
one cartridge. 1t is thought that Mr..
Simmons started to clean the gun,
thinking that he had fired all the cart
ridges and the remaining one was fired
accidentally.
Mr.. Simmons was the proprietor of q
large furnishing store on Washington
street, known as Oak Hall, and in win
ter resided at 1863 Commonwealth aveneue

A YARD OF BEARS.
Hunter BIanchard's Story of Most Unique
Deer Hunt in History.
Ito be continued)

South Paris, February 22.-The crimi
nal docket of the Oxford Supreme court
opened this morning with the prospect of
about two days work.
The f-st case to be considered was that
of Loring M. Blanchard, a widely known
Boston business man, who was charged
with chasing and killing deer with q
dog. His testimony brought out one Of
the most unique deer stories of the season,
d story of peculiar interest to deer hunt
ers. He said in part: ~ have bee in
the wholesale pickle business in Boston
twenty years. Two years ago l sold my
stock in trade and came to Oxford county
for hunting and fishing.
December 27, 1897, drove to Mr..
Wilson's at Newry to get companion for
a hunting trip. had been informed that
about two miles from Wilson's there was
a place where five bears had stayed until
they had trampled sort Of yard mile
square, and wished to shoot one OF
them. Mr.. Wilson could not go, but his
hired man, John Vail, did go accom-
panied by his dog, half bred shepherd.
81 told him to take rope to control
the dog in case we came across deer,
but he said he could control his dog with
out rope.
We soon came to the trail of deer
which was apparently being chased by a
fisher cat. This was SO unusual circum-
stance that we decided to follow and find
out how the unique chase would end.
81 followed the tracks some distance in
advance, Mr.. Vail coming behind with his
dog. Perhaps the fisher cat smelled or
heard oursapproach, at any rate it became
alarmed at something and three miles
further on ran into a hollow tree. A few
minutes later I saw the deer, fired and
shot it in the neck. The animal dropped
as I supposed dead. AS ran toward him
the deer sprang up and eluded me. We
followed the wounded deer by the prints
of it's blood upon the snow for two days,
crossing the mountains twice and finally
overtaking and shooting the animal in
Andoyer Surplus. We slid the body over
the precipices of the mountain to the
plains below"
Before they got down to where the dead
deer laid, it's body had disappeared. The
tracks in the snow showed that two men
had carried the deer away. Mr..
Blanchard followed them across several
towns and finally overlook them at Paris,
where he recovered that part of the deer
which they had not eaten.
The jury acquitted Mr.. Blanchard.

softly about in the next room with eyi-

to solve the mystery of this woman S

her less stealthy in her movements. She

The sleeper awoke while Jessica was
still bending over her. With startled
gasp she lifted herself on one elbow and
returned the girls close scrutiny with
interest.
"Who are you?" Jessica asked with
impulsive directness.
In voice of inexpressible sweetness
the answer came slowly:

"Ellen Bascom?"
A low growl like that of an infuriat-

caused Jessica to turn her head. Savan-
ma was standing in the doorway. that

For a year now she had been going
in and out among these docile, faithful
creatures with an assured ascendency
that made them bare their heads and
hold themselves in all humility in he1

comforts, her luxuries, the brain culture
that was the greatest boon of her life,
had been all supplied her by them.
They had just come to her humbly ask
