MIR. William Bell, of the town of
Concord, was in WatertOwn Tuesday.
In answer to queries as to condition of
crops in his immediate vicinity he said
wheat and oats are Of large growth but
badly lodged and it will be almost i'm
possible to secure the entire crop. Corn
and potatoes promise better than an
average yield. The hay crop is immense
| if the weather will only permit it to be
cut and cured. There is scarcity of
feed, OF oats especially, among the farm
ers. Oats have been sold at OcOnomOWOc
the past week for seventy cents per
bushel. A year ago threshing had COM
menced at this date and plenty of new
oats were in the market, but it will be
several weeks before the new crop can
be put upon the market and meanwhile
many farmers are buying oats and other
| feed for their stock.
Last Sunday, Alvin, the year OLD
son of Mr.. II. Franck, living near May
vile, accidently shot and instantly killed
his 4 year old sister, Regina. The par
ticulars as told are that an older son
on returning from hunting removed
one shell from his gun, but the other
stuck and so he stood the gun up and
went up stairs leaving the younger
children in the room, Alvin seeing the
gun picked it up and tried to put it on
some hooks put up especially for that
purpose, but the gun was too heavy for
the little fellow and he dropped it. In
falling the gun was discharged the load
striking his sister who was sitting by
on her little chair, just below the left
eye and instantly killing her. The story
of the accident coming to the knowledge
of Justice Herberg summoned a
coronor's inquest. After hearing all the
evidence in the case substantially as
above, the jury brought in verdict of
accidental killing in accordance with
the facts elected.
