further said, however that the element
Of luck does creep in now and then,

in the horrible deaths Of great num-
Der Of persons. Foster abandoned the
parade, and helped rescue the luprlsou-
ed patrons Of the burning hotel, and
that night wrote a graphic account Of
the fire from start to finish. He was
the most available reporter in New

started, and, hiring a steamer In the

Why Not a Protective League for
Windsor Countyp

A county fish and game league has
been organized at Brattleboro, the
object of which, says the Phoenix,
Twill be to promote fish and game in
the county, to procure and enforce
suitable laws for the protection and
preservation of food fishes, game,
song and insectivorous birds, the in
PRODUCTION Of new species and varie-
ties of fish, game and useful birds,
to disseminate information relative
thereto and to procure the revision
and codifcation of the laws on the
subjects when found necessary"
If Windham county needs pro-
tective game league, SO does Wind
sor, the banner deer hunting ground
of the whole state. We might say,
an all-the-year-hunting ground, If
there's any truth in the limitations
and reports that the shooting of deor
goes merrily on in season and out of
season.
A protective movement would be a
good thing here, and without ques-
ton it is needed. The county has
GOOD trout streams and lots of deer,
and if there is any protective inhu-
ence in a league in which every town
is interested and represented, Wind
sor county should organize.
