Edward Croto of Burlington died
last Thursday, from the effects of
slight cut on his thumb. Lockiaw set
in and although everything possible
was done he died in short time in
great agony.
A shocking accident occurred at
Swanton Monday. Corporal Merton
Beebe, in company with Geo. Quinn,
was out on the lake shore for little
duck shooting. Corporal Beebe had
cooked his gun in anticipation of
shot and standing it on the grouud,
rested his left arm over the muzzle of
the gun, when it went off, blowing a
hole through his arm above the wrist.
Mr.. Quinn Immediately bound up his
arm with handkerchief or he would
soon have bled to death. Then Quinn
ran to Charles Smiths farm house and
got team. Going back they met
Beebe walking in. He was taken in
and they ran the horse to the village
but broke down at @. r. HogIe's cor
ner on Lake street. Another team
was soon procured and he was taken
to DR.. Cross Office, where DIR. Cross
and DR.. Allen operated upon him,
amputating his arm below the elbow.

The deer hunting season which came

The deer hunting season which came
to close in the Adirondack region
last week, was remarkable not only
for the large number of deer killed
but also for the unprecedented num-
Der of shooting accidents. Reports
from Saranac Lake, Lake Placid, Long
Pond, St. Regis Lake and other points
show that more deer were killed this
year than in any year since bounding
was abolished. One reason assigned
for the large number of deer killed is
that the large forrest fires that prevail
ed drove the deer from their shelter
out into the more open timber and
even into the clearings. The number
Of shooting accidents reported this
fall reaches the astonishing total of %.
The anti bounding law, which at first
was unpopular, is steadily growing in
favor with guides, hotel keepers and
sportsmen generally, although there
is crying need for more state game
protectors, if the law is to be properly
enforced. At present there is only
one game protector to each thousand
square miles of territory.

rates remained at the same figures
as now. This, in ouropinion, would

wrong in our calculations, we would
be pleased to be set right If the
water rents could, in any manner,
be reduced, say even one third,
without impairing the Water De-
partment, we would be in for it,

it possible under existing circum-

bills. That much is certainly due

The Senatorial Question.

DIR. Joseph H. Chandler, of Cen
treville, Christiana Hundred, was
complimented on Thursday. by re-
ceiving the votes OF Messrs. Frizzell,
Blakely and West for Z. S. Senator.
It is not probable they can influence
insufficient number of votes to elect
the doctor, but one thing is certain,
they will not find more earnest or
honest Republican in the State. 1t
isssaid that MessrS. Frizzcll and
Blakely declined to give any special
reason for their votes. save that they
desired to compliment an old and
respected friend. while Captain
West declared his vote had no sig
nificance. that he was independent,
and there was no telling whom he
might be found supporting. We
commend his courage, as Reprc>en-
tatives should vote to please them
selves. and not some man behind
them. who may be as blind as Il but
