COUNTY
 WEST CORNWALL.

WEST CORNWALL. AN AWFUL ACCIDENT. One man in a dying condition, one man seriously injured, and small boy l with a broken leg as the result of a
 combination of circumstances, not likely to occur again in a lifetime of chance. Five small boys, Herbert Hal 1 lett, Lawrence Sturges, Harry Mallin-
 son, Harry Yutzler and Frances Cole,
 all under IA years of age. started early Saturday morning, on foot for a game
 of baseball at Cornwall. When about
 half a mile from this village, they met another 14-year-old-boy, Robert Mon roe, with team, and asked him to take
 them to their destination, which he consented to do, they first returning
 with him to the village. They accord
 ingly crowded onto the buggy and be-
 tween them succeeded in driving onto
 the railroad crossing, directly in front
 of the south bound local freight train.
 Lawrence Sturges and Harry Mallin- son jumped from the wagon, Harry
 not clearing the track enough to pre-
 vent the pilot of the engine from strik- ing and breaking his leg. It was a great wonder that the entire wagon load of boys were not instantly killed. However Robert succeeded in guiding his frightened horse clear of the en- zine, but the road being cOngested by three or four heavy teams, he swerved to the corner of Smith & Sons store and throwing to the ground Henry Koehler and James l.. Ferris, who were standing just at that place. MT Ferris was terribly bruised and cut l about the body and face, and is still under the doctor's care, while MT Koehler was unconscious, having been l struck on the temple by the shaft of the wagon and thrown against the stone steps, striking the back of his was dead. It was exceedingly lucky both doctors were at home, for there was plenty of work for both of them. Dr Ives set the broken leg and then went to the aid of MT Ferris, MT demanding the entire atten- tion of Dr Robinson. His brother, Koehler, was summoned from and Dr Cobb of Falls Vil- lage came in consultatio and Dr Woolsey of New York came Saturday evening and assisted pr Robinson in an operation which was necessary to save his life, removing splinters of bone from the brain. MT kOehler IS now in a very critical condition, with even chances between life and death. He is still at the home of pr Robin son, where he was taken at the time of the accident, with a trained nurse in William Trieschman of and Henry Trieschman and daughter, Miss Louise, of Lake vile, relatives of MT Koehler, were in town, over Sunday.
 MT and Mrs David L, Smith left, morning, on the New York for Hot Springs, va. for the benefit of Mrs Smiths health. Miss Jessie G. Wheaton accompanied them.

WOODBURr.
AN ENJOYABLE SONG SERVICE.

The new Packard organ was used at the session of the Hotchkissville Sun day school for the first time on Sunday afternoon. It is fine looking in- strument and the deep, rich tones that filled the hail were skillfully brought out by Miss Cornelia Betts of Woodbury. A double quartet, con- sisting of Dea Alexander Gordon, Su- perintendent Frank R. Ford and daughters, the Misses Harriet L., and Genevive, and Mrs Frank Knox of North Woodbury and Charles H. Smith, William Clay and daughter, Miss Ruth L., of the village, rendered some beautiful songs from Pentecostal Hymns. The we'll trained singing ac- companied by the grand tones of the organ and the expert playing of the violin by Joseph Cartledge, IT,, was most inspiring. So many lovely boQ- quets and potted plants in blossom covered the organ that it seemed like a foretaste of Children's day, A duet, My Mothers Bible,' was impressive ly sung by Misses Genevive Ford and Ruth l.. Clay. Also another by Mrs Frank Knox and William Clay, and a solo, ''Chrlst is All," was rendered in an expressive manner by Deacon Cor don.

A SNAKE STORY.

The telephone of your correspondent rang the other night and as l answer ed the call a voice said that it had an item for THE BEE. This is the way the story ran: As F. J. Hawley was going home to dinner one day and about to cross the brook near his house, he thought he heard strange noise and looking up stream he saw five black water snakes-one of enor- nous proportionS-On a raft in the brook and they were singing Life on an ocean wave" His appearance dis concerted them and some of them lost off, MT Hawley secured his gun and the first shot silenced three while the second discharge brought down one. The fifth snake made his escape to tell his sisters to keep their mouths shut when summing on Hawley's raft. My informant claimed to have been a witness of the operation and declares that neither the men nor snakes had taken anything stronger than water. FREDERICK COFFMAN CELEBRATES HIS

SORENSON JURY
FAILED TO AGREE
Some Pointed Remarks Made
by Judge BeIIinger.
GRAND JURY TO INVESTIGATE
MITCHELL SAID TO WANT A
SPEEDY TRIAL.

CORTLAND, Ore, Jan. 21.-The jury
sitting on the case of George Sor-
enson, tried for attempting "a
Drloe former United States District At
torhey Hall in an effort to have him
nush the land frauds cases i'm this
state, reported to Judge Bellinger to-
day that it was impossible for the iur-
OTIS 70 agree upon a verdict In dis
charging the jury, Judge BeIinger
called the attention of Francis ]
Heney, who is prosecuting the land
fraud cases for the government, TO the
FAILURE of the jury TO agree on a verdict
IN the face of evidence which Judge
Bellinger said warranted but one YER
dict-that of conviction. The court
urged MI Heney to summon the mem
bers of the jury before the fedora
grand jury that a thorough investiea-
ton of the matter might be had.
Perjury Committed.
Judge BelIinger also stated that Sor-
enson had perjured himself in his tes-
tlmony, but wherein the defendant had
sworn falsely was not revealed the
court making the simple statement that
Sorenson had committed perjury.
MI Heney stated to a Tepresentive of
the Associated Press that he was not
at all satisfied with the conduct of the
jury, and limited at startling davalon-
ments in the near future. He will turn
the matter over to the federal grand
jury with all the evidence in his pos
session.
1t is unofhcially reported that two of
the jurors are friends of the defendant
Sorenson. and his counsel Each indi-
Vldual juryman took oath when the
jury was sworn that he was unac-
quainted with the defendant. No
charges of bribery are made in connec-
ton with the same.
