Gus ACCIDENT.

HouLT, Oct. 4.-Mr. Robert Hol-
bert suffered severe If not dangerous
accident Wednesday. While digging
potatoes IN his field he was struck py
a charge Of shot fired by hunters.
about thirteen No. 8 shot taking ef-
feet In his legs. DR.. Dent was called
but could not get all the shot out. A
small grandchild was with him at the
time. Had the boy been struck he
would probably have been killed.
There should be more restrictions
in regard to hunting, as 1t is getting
to be a regular nuisance the way both
natives and foreigners go wandering
around peoples fields with dogs and
guns, banging away at random, never
looking which way they shoot, often
shooting toward peoples houses. They
are likely at any time to shoot people
or stock. It would be no more than
right for every farmer to post his land
and only allow those to hunt who FIRST
get permission.

found Queenstown to be q most beauti.

pitheater, the lights placed around in
circles SO as to conform to the parts
OF aregular theater. the pit, the bal.
icony5 and the galleries. They found
the nrltiah customs officer not such a
difficult person after all, though he
did ask some peculiar questions. One
was asked If his luggage contained
any perfume, cologne, water or any
tobacco, while lady passenger was
as to the whiskey and to-
baceo In her luggage.
Before closing, Just word concern
ing the crew. Without exception the
entire CREW was English. The captain
was elderly like, and appeared to be
crusty, but when approached he was
auite genial and a perfect gentleman,
ns indeed were all or the ofiicep NJ
well as the common sailors. The
ships surgeon and the purser were the
jo,liest OF the crew and each morning
they made 1t 4 point to inquire after
the health of the passengers. Through
the efforts Of the first mate we were
permitted to go on the bridge and get
a most excellent view Of the ocean.
