Charles Glidden, working as farm
hand on q farm near Skowhegan, was
killed by being trampled to death by a
horse in the stall. Just what happened
can only be assumed. Evidently he
entered the stall of one of the work
horses with basket of sawdust and the
animal, becoming frightened, knocked
him down and trod upon him. When
another employee entered the stable the
horse was jumping from one side OF the
stall to the Other, the basket and Gid

lived in the vicinity two years.
Surgeons have considerable interest In
the case of young man by the name OF
Dostie, In Wsterville, who is alive and
in good health, in spite Of the fact that
on the night of Nov. 3, 1907, he put a
bullet into his brain. Dostie was found
with bullet hole in the top of his head
and at the first glance the surgeons who
we're called to attend the case declared
the man would not live but few min
utes. The attention of the surgeons
then turned to the wife of Dostie, who
had sustained gunshot wounds at the
hands of her husband. Mrs. Dostie re-
covered fully. The day following the
tragic incident Dostie sustained para.
-, lytic shock on one side. As time passed
on Dostie improved to the extent thai
he is now able to move about, to eat
heartily and to understand and enjoy
all that is going on about him. At the
time of the shooting the surgeons passed
probes into the hole in the top Of the
skull to the depth of several inches.
