WESTBROOK.

I. News OF what may prove seri-
GUS accident, has just leaked out in Vest
brook. One day early last week u young
man who was decidedly under the influ-
ence of liquor, made himself obnoxious
by providing around the vicinity Of
Brown street at Cumberland Mills. The
drunken man called at the house of Mr..
Chas. Parkhurst ON Brown street. Mrs.
Parkhurst was at home, as was also Mrs.
Murch, who occupies the lower tenement
in the house. Mrs. Murch attempted
to drive the drunken fellow away by
chasing him with a broom. The broom
did not prove very effective agent, so
Mrs. Parkhurst suggested that she would
find something that would do the bust
ness. She went up stairs and procured
q revolver. The sight of the revolver
was convincing argument TO the inebri-
ate and he at once made tracks for an
other locality At noon when Mr.. Park
hurst and Mr. Samuel Pratt, a brother of
Mrs Parkhurst, came home to their din
ner, Mrs Parkhurst related the experience
of the forenoon to her husband and
brother Her brother laughed at the idea
of thinking of such thing as using the
revolver in question as it was not sup
posed TO be of much use. Mr.. Pratt went
to the room where the revolver was kept
and returning TO the kitchen approached
Mr.. Parkhurst when the revolver, which
happened to be loaded with blank cart
ride, was discharged. Mr.. Parkhurst re-
ceived the charge right in his face and
eyes. A doctor was called and 1t was
found expedient to take him TO the Maine
General hospital where careful in
vestigation could be made of the condi-
ton of the eyes.
Mr.. Parkhurst was Saturday evening
reported to be doing very nicely. tits
not probable that he will lose the sight
of either eye as the result Of the acct
dent.
