Fatal Hunting Accident, Sunday, at
kensington, N. H.

Exeter, N. H., Oct 19.-Word was re-
ceived here, Monday, of shooting IA
tally which occurred at KensingtOn,
a small town. seven miles from here,
late Sunday, the victim being Irving A.
Kimball of Newton.
Kimball, in company with Joseph Os-
good of Amesbury, Mass, was visiting
relatives in Kensington, and the two
men went out to hunt for crows, Sun"
day afternoon. About dusk they start
ed for a flock of birds and fired at them.
Both reloaded their weapons when Os-
goods gun suddenly was discharged
it's entire contents entering Kimbalrs
leg. Both men tainted, but Osgood
soon recovered and carried his COM
parion to the nearest farm house,
three-quarters Of mile away. 1t was
impossible to secure medical aid
promptly and three hours after the &C
cident Kimball died.
Since Kimball's death Osgood has
been in a comatose condition, and it is
feared that his brain has been slightly
affected by the shooting. The affair
is regarded as purely an accident and
the authorities have not been notified.

vile in 1880 and has since made it his
home so has been a citizen of the place
throughout the entire period that the
Water Company, under one form of
management or another, has existed.
Previous to coming to Waterville, Mr..
Haines made his home in Oakland. He
is interested in manufacturing on the
Messalonskee and is perfectly familiar
with the conditions existing thereon.
He enumerated the various industries
doing business on the stream and pol
luting it's waters. The banks of the
stream are thickly settled, especially
on the west side, and the banks are
sharp, so that sewage which does not
empty directly into the stream is quick
ly washed there by the rains. A small
brook also runs through a thickly set
tied part of the town and empties into
the stream. Tobey stream is a small
stream which Mr.. Haines said ran
through alluvial soil and was some-
times turbid. Mr.. Haines knew of the
building of the sewer in Oakland and
of additions made from year to year. q
Mr.. Haines has had experience in
financing water companies, but was not
permitted to express an opinion as to
the value of the franchise. The after
noon session closed with a cross-exam-
ination of MIR. Haines by Mr. Baker,
which brought out little that was not
fully covered by the direct examina-
ton.

WE DON'T CARE
What They Do Now, If They Keep Off
OF Our Territory.

washington, Oct. 19.-An apparent
conflict in the information from London
ana the announcement made by
state department official, Saturday, re-
speeding the agreement reached by the
Alaskan boundary commissioners, is
explained here by the statement that
the London advices touching the vic
tory of the American case on all points
except as to the Portland canal, are
perfectly correct, but that the commits
sioners decision was not technically
final, because of its omission to locate
the mountain range" which was re-
ferred to in the original Russian treaty
of cession as a conditional line To the
Ame,ic lean claim.
1t is said, however, at the state de-
partment, that this is not, after all, ma
terial, in view of the commissions de-
cision, that every inch of the short line
north of the Portland canal is Anerl-
can territory, for whether the strip be
only mile wide or 10 miles or Az, the
Canadians cannot reach the sea with
out crossing American territory.
It is stated that in all probability a
period of one year will be required to
complete the work of delimitation on
the boundary line provided for in the
treaty. This work will be done by ex-
perts named by both governments
the United States and Great Britain
ana steps to that end will be taken as
soon as the two governments are noti-
fled by the commission Of the outcome
of it's work.

WE BOUGHT, WE PAID!
Why Shouldn't We Have What Russia
Sold to Us?

Indianapolis, Oct. 19-United States
Senator Charles Fairbanks, who was
chairman of the American members of
the joint high commission that met at
Quebec in 1895, to consider the Alaskan
boundary question, tonight, gave an ex-
PLANTATION of the dispute over the
boundary and brief outline of the sub
ject. He said: 1.-The decision of the
Alaskan boundary commission is mere
~ a recognition of the rights of the
United States which they purchased
from Russia in 1867. In a treaty be-
tween Russia and Great Britain in 1926,
the boundary between the two countries
in Alaska was fixed and when the Unit
ed States purchased Alaska, she ac-
quired the territory which belonged to
Russia and which was defined in the
treaty of 1925. between Russia and
Great Britain.
Under the treaty the boundary line,
Speaking generally, was to begin at the
southernaost point of Prince of Wales
Island, run thence up Portland canal
and mainland to the Seth parallel of lat
itude and thence follow the summit of
the mountains situated parallel to the
coast, but if there We're no mountains
then the line should not be more
than ten marine leagues from
the coast, until reaching a point
near Mount st. Elias where it
was to run north to the frozen ocean.
1.-THE dispute with which the commission
has been concerned is the boundary south
of Mount st. Elias The American con-
tention was that under the treaty between
Russia and Great Britain, the latter was
to be excluded from an outlet to the
ocean and that the coast line should fol-
low around the heads of all of the inlets
While the British contended that the line
should run from headland to headland IF
their contention had prevailed. Skagway-
