Apropos OF the mention, In "John's
Letter" In the Democrat Of December 10,
Of .broken- hearted dogs dying Of grief
for their masters" It may DO stated that
what perhaps was IN instance OF this
kind occurred in connection with the
Wiley Slide. It will be recalled that
the family dog of the Willeys escaped
with his life. this dog and Mr.. Willey's
two oxen (which latter were In the barn)
being the only living creatures ct the
Notch House which were not slain In the
Slide. If this "family dog could have
spoken" says Benjamin Glszier Wiley
In his account of the Slide In bis book on
tho White Mountains, "he would have
told Us moro about the sad event than
We now know. he would have describ-
cd one Of the most heArt-rending scenes
ever witnessed He probably accompa-
MED the family az they commenced their
march to death from their dwelling, but
escaped by his superior sight and agility.
We infer this from some Commissions on
bis body discoverable when first seen
after the disaster. This dog, to the best
of his power, did try to inform some
friends of the destroyed family Of what
had happened. Soon after this disaster,
and before any news of 1t had come to
Conway, this faithful dog came down to
Mr.. Lovejoy's" (Mrs. Willey's father's),
land, by meanings and other expressions
of deep inward anguish around the per-
sons Of the family, tried to make them
understand what had taken place; but,
not succeeding, he left, and, after being
seen frequently on the road between the
Notch House and the residence OF the
family just referred to, sometimes head
ing north and then south, running almost
at the top of his speed as though bent
on some most absorbing errand, he soon
disappeared from the region, and has
never since been seen. He probably
persisted through grief and loneliness
combined with exhaustion of body"
1t may be added, in conclusion, that q
historical novel based upon the Wiley
Slide was published at Manchester,
N. H., in 1902. The title of the novel 10
''Soltaire: A Romance of the Wiley
Slide and the White Mountains" and 1t
was written by George Franklyn Wiley
of Manchester. Mr.. Wiley is native
of Jackson, N. H., which Is only few
miles from the scene of the Slide.

Irwin w. Robbins and Son Arrested.
VIOLENT ASSAULT UPON d. WEBSTER
PRATT NEAR REDDING CHARGED.

On Saturday Jailer Farrar arrested
and brought to South Paris Irwin W.
Robbins and his son, Oliver A. Robbins,
Of Woodstock, charged with violent
assault upon D. Webster Pratt OF the
same town.
The Robbins and Pratt families live In
the extreme eastern edge OF Woodstock,
little more than . mile from Redding
in Sumner, which is the post Office used
by them. The Robbins and Pratt farms
Join, and there is q connection between
the families, Mrs. Pratt's first husband
having been brother to Mr.. Robbins.
On the east side of Shagg Pond Is q
piece of land which is disputed territory
between the two farms, and on this Mr..
Pratt has been cutting lumber during
the present winter. To reach it he
went across the pond and across point
of land which is without question part
of the Robbins farm.
Thursday afternoon Mr.. Pratt was
going into the woods with his team, and
after leaving the pond he encountered in
his wood road Mr.. Robbins and his son
Ia boy of about 16), who had an axe and
shovel with them.
According to the story told by Mr..
Pratt, after he had passed the Robbinses
he looked around just in time to dodge
the shovel held by Mr.. Robbins, which
was about descending upon his head.
He thereupon closed with Robbins, and
| in the scrap which followed Robbins
fired four shots from pistol, none OF
them hitting Pratt. Then Pratt was hit
over the head with something, and lost
consciousness.
When he came to, the Robbinses were
standing beside him, but they imme-
diately left, and soon after telephoned
from their house to some OF the neigh
bors that Pratt was in the woods, hurt,
and they had better look after him.
Pratt's team had meanwhile gone on
to his landing, and although weak he
was able to follow them and roll a
couple OF logs on the sleds, lie down on
them and start the team for home.
A physician was called a. soon %
possible, and attended to Pratt's injuries.
There were four cuts in his scalp, which
had bled profusely, much OF his clothing
being soaked with blood. :,
In the Norway Municipal Court Sat.
urday afternoon the two Robbinses were
arraigned and pleaded not guilty. The
hearing was continued until the 10th, at
II O'Clock, in order that Pratt nigh,
appear as witness, which he is not
now able to do on account of his con
dition. The respondents were placed
under $500 bail each, which they fur
nished and were released.
1t 10 understood that Robbins viii
claim to have acted in self-defence, ant
that he did not fire at Pratt, but free
into the ground to scare him.
