FOR

BLOOD

a party of hunters were preparing to go
into the woods for deer the gun, which
was left leaning against the side of the
house, suddenly fell over and was dis.
charged, the full charge striking Young
in the knee, literally blowing it to
pieces.
The Eastern Pulp CO., of which b..
r. Dowst, formerly general manager
of the Washington County Railroad,
and Irving Todd of st. Stephen, N b..
are the promoters, has begun building
large mill at Barring, Me, for the
manufacture of pulp wood. Three
million logs have been contracted for,
bark and knots will be removed there
and the wood shipped to the pulp mills
the output will be about six car loads
per day. This is expected to be the
beginning of large paper industry in
that vicinity and will lead to the build
ing of pulp mill next year.
A sad drowning accident occurred at
Bath, Friday afternoon. when George,
the two-year old son of Mr.. and Mrs
VIM. P. Sanford, met his death by
falling into an open well. The child
was one of a family of six and had been
playing in the yard. Suddenly he
was missed by Mrs. Sanford and an
active search revealed the fact that he
had fallen into the well. He is believed
to have been there half an hour when
discovered, and there was no spark of
life in the little body. Two physicians
were summoned but they were unable
to bring the child back to life. A
coroner's inquest was not deemed
necessary.
George H. Harvey, a well-knowu cit
izen of Augusta, was out hunting for
deer in the vicinity of Augusta, Thurs
day, in company with his uncle, John
W. Harvey and VIM. S. Butler, neigh
Dor and friend. They became separated
in the swamps and later on Harvey was
shot in the leg by Butler, being mistak-
en- for deer. The bone of the right
leg, just below the knee, is shattered
for space of three inches, and the man
is in critical condition. After being
shot Harvey dragged himself over the
ground, crossing two brooks of some
width, for distance of mile before he
was discovered by his friends.
A freight wreck occurred at the sta
ton at Clinton, last Thursday. The
freight broke apart about cars from
the engine. The remainder of the train
about fifteen cars, was shifted to the
track that passes into the rear of Alton
Richardson's yard. These cars were
going with such force that when they
struck the bumpers at the end of the
track they knocked the trucks out from
under the two trout cars, throwing the
first car up over rise of about six feet
and into the rear end of Mr.. Richard
sons stable, smashing the end so that
about five feet of the car was in the
stable. Mr.. Richardson was standing in
the door of the stable when the accident
happened and managed to get out of the
way just in time. The damage to the
cars and stable will amount to a mum.
