A BRAVE ACT

Last Tuesday Fred Miller in trying to do a kind act met with quite bad accident. He was riding to Danbury on the trolley and when near Short's hat factory he saw two ladies in a team which were having trouble with their horse. He jumped from the trol- ley and ran and caught the horse and in some way in getting the horse under control he lost his footing and was thrown to the ground, quite badly bruising his cheek and cutting a gash on the back of his head and also one on the back of one of his hands. He was able to keep hold of the horse and get him under control. MT Miller had his hand dressed and was laid up for few days, but is now able to be about again.

MRS HELEN F, BEEMAl

MRS HELEN F. BEEMAN,
 After long illness, Mrs Helen F. Beeman, wife of Henry w. Beeman, died at her home here on Thursday morning of last week, aged 50 years. Besides her husband, she leaves two sons, Claude and Harold, each having arrived at mature age. Her funeral was attended at her late home on Sat urday afternoon. Rev MT Hooker, rector of St Andrews church at Mar bledale, officiated as pastor and the in terment followed in the cemetery in this village. Another home is thus be- reft of it's wife and mother in what should have been her prime of life, but by disease she has for years been weakened in'strength and unable to do for herself and others what she would have done if able. Her most serious illness, catarrhal gastritis, has oc- cured during the past six months.
 Everybody in this section was so much interested in the Bi-Centennial exercises at New Milford that busi- ness ceased noticeably in this vicinity and every day from Saturday to Tues day inclusive saw all manner of con- veyances, headed for New Milford vil- lage and the last one had hardly re- turned before the first of another day started. All closed Tuesday night and usual associations were resumed. Thanks to the weather and all other conditions being favorable the great success of the whole undertaking on the part of the residents of New Mil ford was assured.
 Mrs S. c. Goodhue has arrived at her Arrow Point summer residence. Her business agent and helper here. has this week finished the conveyance of her horses from Staten Island and we are pleased to see her again settled at Lakeside for another season.
 James Roley and J. H. Bumstead of Jersey City have again opened their Lakeside cottages and will pass their Sundays and holidays with their fami- lies there during the summer.
