The near approach of the deer hunt
causes the Boston Journal to give this
needed warning to the Massachusetts
Now that the deer season is ap-
preaching, a warning to the sportsmen
will not be amiss. A cool head, a keen
eye and a steady hand are the qualifi-
cations Indispensable to the hunter.
The man who lacks any one of these
should stay at home. In the woods he
is likely at any moment to become
guilty of manslaughter.''

For AZ years George Knight. who
murdered his wife in Poland, Andres
coggin county, in 1856, has been serv-
ing his life sentence in the State pris-
on at Thomaston. 1t is remarkable
record without an equal in our State,
and probably few equals anywhere. OF
all the men who took a prominent part
in the events which led up to his con
Viction, he alone is alive today. The
judge that sentenced him is dead. His
counsel is dead. The county attorney
and the encouragement who conduct
ed the case against him are dead.
Dead also are the court officials. and
nearly all the jurymen and yet these
men lived a life of freedom, and his
has been passed within prison walls
He is now 81 years old, and is still in
good health and clear of mind and eye.
He was first sentenced to death, and
we venture the opinion that he has re
GREETED many times that this sentence
was ever committed.

killed by southbound freight train,
No. 81, at Oak Hall Station last hon
day afternoon. He seemed to have
walked deliberately to his death, as
he was warned Of the danger both by
citizens of the place and the train
people, He was walking towards the
train when it struck him and was
tossed by it, after striking him in the
stomach and forehead, causing
wounds, either OF which was fatal,
several feet from train. He was al
most instantly killed.
A jury summoned by Justice E. W.

the verdict, THAT the man was killed
by unaccountable carelessness on his
