SHOT IN ARM.
Henry G. Totman Wounded at Fairfield
While Watching a demonstration"

Fairfield, Me, July 4.-(SpcciaD.-
. \. M.-IIenry G. Totman, while stand
ing in a crowd watching a "dcmonstra-
tiun" around Il house on Water street
kept by Belle Foye and commonly called
the "Whitc Elephant" WAS shot in the
right arm, about 40 this morning, by
an unknown party. Fred Richards is
under arrest and it is stated on good
authority that he has admitted firing
Il shot from the house.
The crowd out tonight was the largest
for years ANA part of it drifted to the
vicinity of the white Elephant where
more or less noise was made, though
the crowd claims that nothing Was done
to warrant the shooting.
The inmates claim, however, that
they heard shot fired ut the house
and thought someone WAS trying TO
fierce an entrance. so shot to fright"n
them, but not intending to injure any
one.
The crowd grew pretty ugly and
Chief Harrington and Utticcr Quincy
thought it best to place Richards in The
Gerald instead of the police station. He
is row there under guard.
At 80. the doctor had located the
bullet in Totman's arm, firmly imbedded
in the muscles below the elbow. Ihey
do not think the bones are injured, but
the wound is an ugly one and many
cause trouble. Mr.. Totman is connected
with the WaterVille Mail.

SLIGHT INJURIES.
Reliance's Bent Plates Can
Easily Be Replaced.
The Challenger and Shamrock Both
Had Hard Luck, Friday.
New Boat Only Leads Old One by About
Min, 20 Sec.

Bristol r. l., July 3.-The Reliance
|arrived in the harbor, about $50 o'clock
this morning, coming in tow from New
port with her tender, the Sunbeam. Her
sails We're Immediately unbent and
taken ashore. A number of metal work
ers went aboard and took accurate
measurements of the dent in the port
bow Of the yacht, with the intention Of
making two new plates. The bow shows
that the new plates will be about six
feet.
1t is expected that the repair work
will not take more than two days and
then the yacht will repair to New
Rochelle.
In looking over the damage to Re
lance it was decided to strengthen the
boat forward by additional braces in
order to prevent Il repetition of the
bending of the forward plates through
heavy seas. The damage to Reliance
consisted of the bending in of one or
two plates a matter of or inches.
The dent was about feet long and
located 3 feet beneath the gunwale of
the boat and 6 feet from the bow on
the port side.
This is the first time any of the
Herreshoff 90-footers have been injured
through pounding in heavy seas II
may be remembered that the Indepen-
dence, while being lowed around Cape
Cod, was badly strained through SINH
lar pounding and sprang aleak. There
is no means of knowing whether the
Reliance was leaking, but it is believed
that she did not leak, as the dent is
above the water line.

Probably it will be about July 1C

The Rich Mans Generosity.

During the year 1902 the gifts and
requests made public amounted to
more than $S5, 100000. This is an
enormous amount and is certainly a
high tribute to American liberality.
The highest tribute paid to any medi-
cine is accorded to the famous Hos
letters Stomach Bitters by promi-
nent doctors throughout the country.
They have prescribed it in cases of
heartburn, belching, fiatulency, nau-
sea, sick headache, Indigestion. dys-
pepsia, constipation and biliousness,
and know that it cures. 1t would
therefore seem advisable for you to
give it a fair trial. 1t will surely do
you good. The Bitters is also an eX-
cellent tonic, blood purifier and invig-
orator for delicate Women, the weak
est stomach being able to retain it.
Be sure to try it. For sale by all
druggists.

NEW LAW MAY ENABLE
CONSTRUCTION OF SEWER

City Attorney Scott. after careful
consideration of the law recently en-
acted by the state Legislature author
izing cities under 10000 to order pub
lie improvements of a necessary ma
ture without the formalities of a pc
titon and to assess the cost against
the property owners, has given it as
his opinion that this will enable the
construction of the sewer system in
the south and southwestern sections
of the city which has been discussed
in council meetings for some time
past. The cost has been estimated at
from 100000 to $125,00O
The sewer committee will present
at the next meeting of the council n
recommendation that the board of To-
cal improvements he authorized to go
ahead after this plan. If opposition
develops and the effort is successfully
resisted the city will be out only the
court costs.
