Shot by Son of Colonel Hall.

There wa" a STANCE case of accidental
shooting in St. Adams early Tuesday
morning. 7. A. Summerskill, superin-
tendent of the power plant of the Central
Vermont railway, was shot between 4
and O'Clock by Harry V. Hall, son of
Col. A. A. Hall, well known in this town.
At about O'Clock Mr.. and Mrs. Sum
merskill were awakened by the presence
of a man in their sleeping apartment,
who was endeavoring to carry away the
chair beside the bed on which was placed
Mr.. SummerSkilrS clothing. Mr.. Sum
merskill sprang out of bed and rushed
after the man down the stairs, while Mrs.
Summerskil called several times for
help. Mr.. SummerSkill seized one trou-
ser leg of the burglar as he made his
escape through the front window but
the man broke loose from the hold and
disappeared around the house. The fami-
ly of A. A. Hall live on the opposite side
of the street, and hearing Mrs. Summer
skill cry for help young Hall slipped on
his trousers and seized revolver which
was lying on stand beside his bed. In
the meantime Mr.. Summerskill found a
pair of shoes in the hall which had been
left by the burglar, and thinking that
the burglar might return for them he
armed himself with loaded polieeman's
billet. As young Hall rushed up the
steps Mr.. Sumnerskill, thinking that he
was the burglar, dashed out of the dark
hall and began beating him with the
billet, forcing him across. the veranda.
Hall thought that Summerskill was the
burglar and supposed he was about to
kill him and so pulled up his revolver
and fired into Summerskill's chest, the
bullet entering below the right nipple and
emerging between the ribs of the back.
Young Hall then ran into the streets say
ing that he had shot the burglar but was
soon informed that he had made terri
BILE mistake. Although the wound was
serious one it was thought yesterday
that Mr.. Summerskill might recover.
