CONTINENTAL WIDOW DIES
Mrs. Damon at Twenty two Mar
ried a Revolutionary Veteran
Her Grandfather Also Had Fought
For Independently A. r.. Had
Helped to Support Her.

Rutland, Vt The Revolutionary
War pension list was closed with the
Heath Of Mrs. Esther Sumner Damon,
aged ninety-three years, the only sur
viving widow Of soldier Of the Rev
0lution. which occurred at her home
in Plymouth Union. vt.
Mrs. Damon was a native of YER
mont. She was born in 1913, and
when twenty-five years of age, on
September s, 1895. at Bridgewater,
VT, she was married to Noah Da-
mon, aged seventy-f1ve years. Da-
non enlisted in the War of the Revo-
luton at Milton, Mass, April 10,
1775, and served five years. A PEN
sion was granted to him at the age
Of eighty-nine years while living at
Plainfeld, N. H. He died July 2,
1853 1t was on the strength of the
record of her grandfather, William
Thompson, also a Revolutionary War
veteran, that Mrs Damon was made
member of Palestrello Chapter,
Daughters of the American Revolu-
ton, at WaIlingford, VT.
For the last two years nearly all
the chapters had contributed to her
support, and the State Legislature of
1904 appropriated 5000 for this pur-
pose. A pension Of $12 a month had
been granted to her by the Govern
ment and year ago this was
doubled.
Why Esther Sumner, as a bright,
and from all accounts, spirited girl
Of twenty-one, married Damon in his
old age, no one attempts to explain.
She was left an orphan at eight years
and was bound out to household SER
vice. She managed to save from her
scant wages enough to enable her to
attend a village school in the win
ters. When she was seventeen years
old she taught district school at
Plymouth Union.
Damon appeared in Plymouth
Union at time, romancers say,
when pretty Esther Sumner was an
CRY at a swain for whom she cared
more than she would show. Within
two weeks she had married the aged
soldier. He was reputed to have
some means. He had none at all
After the wedding the bride learned
that all his worldly wealth was
$16.50, and that even his wedding
suit had been lent him by friend.
Esther had saved little money, but
within few weeks this was gone,
and the young wife had to set about
supporting her heroic but disabled
husband.
For sixty-seven years she has
maintained herself by her own eff
forts, except for the forty cents
day pension that she received from
the Government. Indeed, the first
pension, awarded soon after her hus-
bands death, was only $50 year.
Mrs. Damon sewed, nursed the sick,
and refused offers of marriage.

PET DEER KILLED MASTER.
Herbert Bradley Found Dead in a
Rayine at Montclair, N. j.

AetsfAAAO ~ NAOAAlAA<AAAg ~ ~
Montclair, N. j. 81 The shocking
death of Herbert Bradley, million
aire -four importer, with offices in
New York, who was found dead at
the bottom of a picturesque ravine
in the deer part of his costly and
beautiful estate on Eagle Rock Way,
near MOntclair, with a wound in his
thigh which had severed the femoral
artery, has been thoroughly investi-
gated.
The result confirms the theory
that Mr.. Bradley met his death in a
desperate struggle with one of his
deer, a large buck about four years
old, with long antlers.
Chief Gallagher and Deputy Coun-
ty Physician Herbert Simmons looked
among the herd of deer as they
roamed about the park to ascertain
of the struggle. AS soon as the big
buck came into view they plainly
saw that it's antlers were covered
with blood and that there were a
number of blood spots about the
legs and body. The animal which
slew it's master still acted wildly and
defiantly, and in order that it might
do no further harm the Chief drew
his revolver and promptly killed it.
This animal was Mr.. Bradley's ia
vorite pet ia the entire herd of fifteen
DEER None had ever attacked him
before.
Mr.. Bradley was forty-one years
old, and leaves a widow and two chill
dren.

Long Beach, Cal.-Five stories OF
the central wing of the new $750,000
Bixby Hotel collapsed, carrying nine
workmen to death in the tons of tam

Thirteen men on the contractors
rolls are unaccounted for.

the exceptional weight of the build

doubly difficult. Cries for help from
men pinned under giant girders were
echoed by walls of wives and daugh-
tiers swarming over the ruins in
search of their own. The dead are.
