AsHUELoT, N. H.
Martin eeaaon Killed by a Fall.


The body of Martin Geagon was found
soon after O'Clock Sunday afternoon ly-
ing under an embankment beside the high
way between Hinsdale and this village,
at a point a few rods above the iron
bridge that spans Tufas brook. The
body lay in a heap, and it was apparent
that life had been extinct several hours,
the body being unnotccd by frequent
passing teams until discovered by two
young men, who were walking from Hins-
dale to this village They happened to
stop at this point and one of them looking
over the railing saw the body about eight
feet below the highway.
Dr. w. a. BasCh was Immediately sum
monod. lie said that Geagon had been
dead at least - hours. The selectmen
were notified and viewed the body. They
pronounced il an accidental death and al
lowed the removal of the body by I'm
dertakers Woodbury. & Leisure, to the
home of his sister, Mrs Robert Hewitt Of
Upper Ashuelot II was plainly a case Of
accidental death. Geagon was in Hins-
dale late Saturday night, and while walk
ing to his home here, probably sat down
on the railing to rest, perhaps fell asleep
lost his balance and fell over backwards
down the embankment, some eight feet
to a lot of jagged rocks that pierced the
skull at the top on the back part of the
head, and cut a long cash on the scalp
at top of the head and caused other
bruises. The blow probably caused I'M
consciousness and almost immediate
death.
Mr. Geagon was born in Greg. Kilkenny
Ireland. in 1855. He came to this country
rs years ago, locating in Lawrence, Mass /.
later went TO Bellows Falls, Vt. and came
here several years ago being employed in
the paper and wooden mills. He never
married. He leaves one sister, Mrs. Hew-
it, one niece, Mrs. b. Fountain of Bellows

n new IDEA IN ENGLAND,
Bill Creating Court of Criminal
Appeal

London, April 18.-A bill constitut-
ing court of criminal appeal, which
has not heretofore existed in Great
Britain, was introduced in the house
Of commons by Attorney General Wal
ton. He said that the measure would
create the right Of appeal against
convictions for crimes similar to that
now existing in civil cases. The new
court will consist of seven judges of
the kings bench division of the high
court Of justice, to be selected and
presided over by the lord chief justice
Of England The right of appeal in
matters of law will be unqualified and
in matters of fact it will be left to the
discretion of the new court. There
will be no new trials, but the court
will have ample powers to get at the
truth. 1t will be able, If necessary, to
summon fresh evidence and, when the
court has satisfied itself of the true
merits of case, it will be the duty
of the court to determine whether the
conviction shall stand, be set aside or
be modified. The attorney general
added that this was not "a rich mans
bill" An official would be appointed
whose duty it would be to collect the
material necessary in order to have
case reheard and if professional assist
ance is required solicitor and coun-
sci would be provided for poor pris-

CLAIMS that "SHORTY"
COMMITTED The CRIME
Report From Virginia that Fournier
Confessed to His Attorney Wesley
Did the Shooting.

The Duluth Herald of yester-
day contained the following tele.
gram concerning Fournier and
his change of heart since the
shadow of the states prison is
upon him:
Virginia, Mimi, April IL
Although both Fournier and
Wesley, the men convicted at
Bemidji Of numbering the Dahl's,
stoutly maintained their inno
cence throughout the trial, even
to their attorneys, after Fournier
was convicted he made confess
sion to his counsel of his part in
the affair.
Judge John M. Martin of this
city, who was associate counsel
in the defense of both men, ar
rived home Monday. He says
that after F'ournier was convict.
ed, he informed his counsel that
Wesley was the man who did
the shooting of the Dahl's, and
he (Fournier) did not arrive on
the scene until after the crime
was committed, and that he hid
his knowledge of the crime for
fear Wesley might kill him.
On the strength of this con-
fession, Judge Martin says a
new trial for Fournier will be
asked for. Mr.. Martin wrote a
letter to Judge Spooner, re-
questing him to have Fournier
| repeat the story to him before
deciding on the matter of a new
trial.
Judge Martin is satisfied that
If Fournier had told his story
from the start he might have es,
capped with two years imprison-
ment, as an accessory after the
fact, instead of being convicted
of murder in the first degree.

their wings against their sides
in such a manner as to produce
sound very similar to the roll
ing of a snare drum, and can be
heard for nearly quarter of a
mile on clear day.
The uninitiated might think 1t
an easy matter to shoot drum
mer, by following the sound
through the forest, but it is not
easy. The birds are very shy
and cautious when drumming,
evidently knowing they are at
tracing attention, and between
drums sit perched on log like
a statue, listening with keen
ears, and watching every move
ment of the brush. At the slight
est sign of danger they hop ST.
lently to the ground and run off
with great speed, or else fly
without the slightest warning.
AS their log is generally located
in some thicket, the hunter who
gets a shot at one of them must
be man cf experience. In a
country where much hunting is
done, a mans average is about
two birds out of every five he
traces by the sound of the beat
ing wings.

People who live in smaller

approach of spring by the drum

When the birds begin drum

Some years the birds drum

times only in the spring. In a
country where there are grouse,
they always may be heard in the
spring. In the fall they do as
they feel about it.
Of course, no sportsman viii

RECEPTION LAST EVENING
A SUCCESSFUL AFFAIR
Well Arrayed Program Carried Out.
Rev. Peart Gave Interesting Ad-
dress---Church FI0urIshing.

The reception rendered to Rev.
and Mrs. Peart last evening was
a most successful affair and will
long be remembered as one of
the great events of the church.
The com mittee worked har.
moniously together and system
and good taste we're displayed
through yut the evening. The
chapel was beautifully decorated
ard there the guests we're pre-
sented to the pastor and wife, ir
respective of former acquaint-
ance.
The program was carried out
precisely as printed and all the
numbers we're heartily applaud
ed The refreshments were
dainty and prettily served.
Dr.. g. II. Smith was master of
ceremonies and performed the
function in creditable manner.
Rev. Peart's address was in
part as follows:
1T is very kind of you to
tender US this reception and L
express our deep appreciation
for it. Oar church has made
rapid strides during the last
eighteen months. The Sunday
school has doubled in attendance
and is not only self supporting,
but gave generously to the cause
of missions. The congregations
trebled in actual attendance,
while the young peoples society
has grown from a weakling to a
vigorous and we'll attended so.
ciety and the mem bership was
about dou bled. The member
ship Of the church has increased
one third and the Ladies' Aid is
in every respect a great society,
no house being hardly large
enough to accommodate it.
Last year the church was self
supporting, paying the pastor
$255 more than his predecessor,
1t was the only year that the
Presiding Elders fees we're met,
and the only year when the
church made any showing on
benevolent apportionment. This
year is exceeding last year along
all lines. Last month was the
banner month for congregations
and cash receipts. We thank
you for this token of your respect
and confidence, and trust the re-
mainder of this evening may
pass pleasantly for you ALL"

TAKES RAP AT ROOSEVELT
Minnesota's Democratic Congressman
Talks on State Rights.

Chicago, April 1S.-A plea for the
perpetuation of state rights was made
by Congressman Winfield S. Ham
mond of Minnesota in talk at the
twelfth annual banquet of the Hol-
land society Of Chicago.
Mr.. Hammond took covert rap at
President Roosevelt by declaring that
"in view of recent events one might
be led to believe that the legislative
department of the federal government
has become well nigh extinct The
speakers subject was "The Sovereign
State
1T is thing bred in us to have the
government as close to us as possi-
ble,'' he said when it comes to reg
ulating insurance and child labor why
should we run to Washington the
minute anything is wrong? We are
becoming little too paternalistic."
