Sunday cunning has become a great nuis-
ance TO the writer and others, who hardly
dare venture out of doors for fear of being
shot. Two weeks ago last Sunday five boys
or young men from d place not far from
Northport We're doing a great amount of
firing, and last Sunday the same lot made
the day ''hideous'' by their noise. one
of them fired at something or nothing as two
ladies We're walking from Temple Heights
to the main road, and the charge went
directly over their heads, cutting the leaves
and branches of the trees, so that they tlnt-
tered down upon their heads Young men
and boys please take notice, the next time
you do any Sunday cunning in this vicinity
you will be invited to visit Judge Rogers.
What might have been fatal accident
occurred at Browns Corner a few weeks
ago. William l.. Pillsbury was stuup-
ing down picking cranberries just at dusk
Lewis Mahoney and George Rose, who were
out after deer, saw him and Mahoney took
aim and fred, the charge going directly over
and only a few inches above MI Pillsbury's
back. Mahoney is good shot. but had
set his rifle sights Just little too high for the
4 |,
Rose was on the point of sending "a heavy
charge of buck shot, when Mr.. i. rose up
and as politely, as the circumstances would
permit, asked them to practice on something,
before king a target OF him. Such careless
ness ought to be severely punished, there be
ing no sort of resemblance between a man
stopping down picking berries and deer.
