WALTER J. BULLOCK.
Team Reached His Home in Gullford
at Noon on Wednesday.


Walter ]. Bullock, a we'll known Gull
ford farmer, died suddenly in his wagon
about noon on Wednesday while on his
way home from Brattleboro. 1t seems
apparent that death must have come just
as he was nearing his own home.
Mr.. Bullock lived on the old Bullock
homestead near the turn in the road that
goes to Weatherhead Hollow. The facts,
so far as they can be gathered, appear to
be that he left his house about O'Clock
Wednesday morning with a span of horses
and an express wagon and drove to Brat
tleboro. His movements in Brattleboro
are not well known, but his mother, who
lives in this village, met him on Elliot
street and talked with him about 10
o'clock, noticing nothing unusual in his
condition. on his way home he stopped
at the Coombs mill and got some grain
or feed. He also drove up toward Will
liam II. Tyler's but met Mr.. Tyler as he
was going into his hay field and after
talking with him turned about and drove
toward home. He was seen and talked
with by l.. +, French at the Edward
Weatherhead place. The horses were
running as they approached and Mr.
French went out and slowed them to a
walk, but Mr.. Bullock protested against
any interference with himself or his
team.
, Mrs. Amos Prouty saw him when cross
ing the bridge near the Prouty house and
about so rods from his own home. Death
must have occurred while he was on the
way up the hill to his house, for when
the team arrived there he was lying in
the bottom of the wagon with his head
over the side and one arm hanging down
by the wheel. Mrs. Bullock summoned
Merton A. Thomas, the first selectman,
who lives IN the next house beyond by
telephone. On his arrival Mr. Thomas
thought Mr.. Bullock was dead and called
Asa Clark, who was OF the same opinion.
Satisfied Of the fact, they called DR.. Nil
Ter of Brattleboro, who could discover no
cause Of death from any marks upon the
body and from its general appearance
other than was suggested by the fact
that there was in the wagon quart bot
tie nearly empty which had undoubtedly
contained whiskey. In consideration OF
the facts 1t was not thought necessary,
either by the doctor or by the selectmen.
that an inquest should be held.
Mr.. Bullock was 40 years old, having
been born in April, 1867, and was the son
OF Samuel Knox Bullock, a prominent cit
izen of Gulford in his day. The Bullock
family was one of the earliest to settle
In Guilford Mr.. Bullock is survived by
his wife and six young children. He was
an energetic, Woodworking farmer, in
prosperous circumstances, and bore a good
reputation in the town. Besides his own
family and his mother, Mr.. Bullock is sur
Vived by brother and two sisters.
The funeral is appointed to be held to-
day at l o'clock and the burial will be in
the cemetery at Guilford Centre.

DO your little growing folks wake
up in the night with cramp in their

down 10 the foot Of the bed and press
their toes hard against the footpoard.
This seldom fails to bring relief. Even
the tiniest tot can do this for herself
when she wakes up in alarm at the
big pain in her leg.
Should this fail, and sometimes
when the cramp Is up by the knee, 1t
Is not efficient. tell the sufferer to
press the sole Of her cramped foot
against the instep Of the other. Press
good and hard. and the pressure, to-
gether with the warmth and electric

more harm than good. The doctors

MEAT OR CEREALS.
A Question Of Interest 20 All Care
full Persons

Arguments on food are interesting.
Many persons adopt vegetarian diet
on the ground that they do not like to
feel that life has Lecp taken to feed
them, nor do they fancy the thought
of eating dead meat.
On the other hand, too great con.
sumption OF partly cooked, starchy
oats and wheat or white bread, pastry,
etc, produces serious bowel troubles,
because the bowel digestive organs
(where starch is digested. are over
taxed and the food ferments, produc-
ing gas, and microbes generate In the
decayed food, frequently bringing on
peritonitis and appendicitis.
Starchy food is absolutely essential
to the human body. It's best form is
shown in the food "Grape-Nuts." where
the starch is changed into form of
sugar during the process Of It's manu-
facture. In this way. the required
food is presented to the system In a
pre-dlgested form and is Immediately
made into blood and tissue. without
taxing the digestive organs.
A remarkable result in nourishment
is obtained; the person using Grape
Nuts gains quickly In physical and
mental strength. Why in mental?
Because the food contains delicate
particles of Phosphate of Potash OBJ
tanned from the grains. and this unites
with the albumen OF all food and the
combination Is what nature uses to re-
build worn out cells In the brain.

Proper Pronunciation of Picturesque
Indian Names.

Muskogee, I. ibid you ever try
70 pronounce an Indian name and
then wonder whether you had come
anywhere near the correct pronun-
citation? Try this rule. Place a
dash after each vowel in the word
and then pronounce each syllable
slowly. Note the smooth flowing
Sound produced, and tehn gradually
pronounce the syllables faster until
you get the entire word grouped
You will be surprised both at the
ease with which you get the word
and the effect in pronunciation.
The most difficult Indian name is
readily pronounced in this manner.
Nearly all Indian names OF towns
and rivers have some particular sig
nificance. The names that have been
given towns in Indian Territory will
perpetuate Indian history for untold
centuries. ON'y yesterday a new
town was named Neha. This is a
Greek word and means oil town.
IT was given to siding put In on
the railroad a few miles south Of
Muskogee in the new oil field.
We in Creek means water. It is
found In many names In the territory
and the significance attaches to the
remainder of the word. For instance
here are a few: Weleetka means
running water and Wetumka mean
bounding water. Both are towns on
the Frisco railroad. Weleetka. the
home OF the Creek chief. means fall.
ing water. Wecharta means red wa
ter.
Okmulgee which is the Creek ma.
tional capital means In Creek, head
OF power" and the name was given
the town of Okmulgee because ii Vas
the national capital. Tallahassee con-
veys to the Creek mind the same inn
pression that deserted village does to
the English 1t was the name Of n
town in the eastern home OF the
Creeks and also a town OF that name,
or what was a town, is located in
Indian Territory. There is an Indian
school there.
Pekantullahassee means grove OF
native plums and the name is ap-
piled to place in the Creek nation
that In the early days grew wild
lplums in great profusion, but the
thicket has since been destroyed. Ok
taha Is the name OF n small town
south OF Muskogee. 1t is Creek
name and means sandy land.
To the Creeks the Arkansas river
was Wecharty, because the water is
red and Deep Fork was Hutchety
Soofka, because ii is deep, and the
Virdigris was Wascre Hutchety, be-
cause the Osages came down that
river and the Creeks called ii Usage
stream. The North Canadian was
called Oklahutchey because II was
full OF sand. The village OF Choska
was so called because Choska means
postoak and around Choska postoaks
grow In great profusion.
