JOHN FLINT'S FEARS.
Webster Road is Generat-
ing Lots Of Trouble
For Him.

Webster, July 2S.-Superintendent
John Flint Of the Webster road is wor-
rying considerably over affairs during
the past week. 1t was circumstance
or accident that will creep in any well
regulated electric road. The generator
was of course rendered useless. Mr..
Flint ordered it taken out, and for
warded to Boston for repairs.
The removal of this generator placed
the running of the road in rather of a
ticklish predicament, as there is moth
ing to fall back upon in case an ac-
cident should happen to this generator.
Mr.. Flint is anxious, as the generator
he sent away has not been heard from
Mr.. Flint said to the Webster corre-
spondent of The Spy that in case a
second accident should occur, the road
would go out of business in jiffy. In
case of break, as there is no emer-
gency generator now, the line would be
wholly crippled

STRUCK IN THE EYE.
oakdaIe Boy Shot BY Careless Com
panon.


E oakdale5 July 2s.-4George, the 12-year-
old son of Lewis Cutting, was shot in the
right eye this afternoon by Peter Porter,
who was fooling with an air rifle. The
shot entered the corner of the eye, tearing
its way into the white part of the ball,
making painful wound. The young man
was attended by Drs Williams and Low
ell. It is thought the injury will not be
OF permanent nature, although it was a
close call. If the shot had struck little
further to the left it would have entered
the sight of the eye.
