Residence Of Ex- Judge D. A. Nelson In
Ayr Township, Narrowly Escaped
Destruction by Fire Last Sat-
urday Night.

Following an old custom that a
rainy or snowy day was the pro

Cured to Judge Nelson last Sat
urday forenoon, that the weather
conditions were such as to suit

pert. Knowing, too, that o long
winter was ahead, he felt that
the chimneys should be well
cleaned in good time. Conse-
queutly, the necessary fuel was
placed in the tireplaces and duly
lgnited, when with the usual roar
and blazing out at the top led
hem to believe that a good job
was beng done. The chimney
between the kitchen and dining
room contains a double hue, and
1t now seems that while the kltch.
en- hue burned out nicely, the
other did not burn at the time.
Watch was kept upon it all day,
and when the family retired at
night there was nothing to lndi
cate that any fire existed ir the
fue. About five o'clock Sunday
morning, however, the family
was awakened by the odor o.
smoke, aud going to the dining
room found that the tardy hue
had burned out IN the night, and
that fire dropping had lgnited the
tireboard, which was entirely
destroyed, and great hole burn
ed in the floor around the hearth.
The prompt application of water
soon brought the flames under
control, and averted what might
have been costly and dangerous
conhsgratlon.

Fort Littleton Base Ball Team.

The Fort Littleton Baseball
team was organized in the sum.
mer of 1908. Although we could
not get anybody that could play
ball-only few of US had ever
played before-we played II
games and lost 3, thus, 8 won for
Llttletor. New Grenada thought
that they could beat us because
we were only kids, so we went
up there to play two games.
When the game was over 1t stood
"a IN favor of Littleton. That
made the New Grenada boys feel
so bad that we let them take the
next game-4-7. That put the
boys IN the air so that they want
ed to come down here to play the
championship game. We sent
them word to come. On Friday
evening they sent word that two
Of their players were sick, so
they went to Saltlllo and got two
of their best players and came
down expecting to take the score
back; but when we saw a stuffed
team, we just got down to busl.
ness and defeated them by a
score of Az. They were not
posted on the rules in the books,
and when the umpire would try
to enforce rule in the book, they
would kick, so we saw they were
easy to beat, and left 1t go in
their favor, then they SAID the
game was not fair. This game
made them feel very sore. The
umpires were DAVID Fraker and
Joe Detwller.
We desire to return our thanks
to our pitcher, Beaver Fraker,
and to the rest of the players, for
their nice work and good playing
this summer. We also thank the
people Of Fort Llttleton for their
interest toward us this summer.
We thank our umpires that um.
pired for us, for their kindness
toward us. AS this ends tho ball
playing for this season, we thank
the "Fulton County News" for
printing our ball games.

HUNTING ACCIDENT.
Russell Cooper, Last Friday, Stopped
Part Of Load Of Shot That Was
Fired at q Rabbit.


Last Friday, Mr.. and Mrs. VIM
Z. Jackson, of Coatesvllle, who
we're in this county all of last
week on a hunting expedition,
with headquarters at the City
Hotel, tog ether with Sheriff Har-
ris and j., K. Johnston, in Mr..
johnstop's automobile, went
down below Webster Mills to
John Bain's for a days hunting.
The party, while In back of Mr..
Bans, were joined by two other
hunters, Jesse and Russell Coop
er. The party was somewhat
scattered, and when rabbit
jumped up within range of Mr..
jackson, he fired at the cotton
tail, and had the satisfaction of
stopping it. A moment after,
however, he was mortified to hear
some one yell, "You have shot my
brother !" This cry came from
Jesse Cooper, who noticed blood
trickhng down his brother Rus.
sells face. 1t seems that Rus
sci was approaching from the
other side of the hill at an augle
to the right of Mr.. Jackson, and
when Mr.. Jackson shot the rabbit
some of the shot struck stone
and were detected, hitting Rus
sel-one piercing his hat, passing
through the sweatband, and lodg-
ing under the skin near the hair
line IN the middle of his forehead.
The shot struck with such force
as to fiatten 1T out as thin as pa
per. Another shot hit him in
one of his legs, but not with suf-
ticlent force as to break the skin.
Russell came to town and DR..
Robinson 6shed the bit of lead
out from under the skin, and
Russell is now not any worse for
his experience.
Mr.. Jackson is the assistant
superintendent of the Coatesvllle
Boiler Works. His wife, who Is
ap excellent shot, thoroughly en-
joys accompanying her husband
on his hunting expeditions, and
we are sorry that this little acci-
dent occurred, which to some ex.
tent marred the pleasure of an
otherwise delightfully."- spentweek
and especially enjoyable was the
excellent dinner furnished that
day by Mrs. Balm.

To The Voters of Fulton County

McConnellsbure, Oct. 26. While
am making an effort to see per.
sonally all the voters of this couu-
ty possible in the limited time
between this and the election,
take this method of addressing
you. 1t has been my aim during
the three years oe service now
almost completed to conduct the
business affairs of the county
with the same diligence and care
that | give to my own private af.
fairs. 1t may not be known TO
all of you, but it Is nevertheless
true as the records will show,
that when we went into office,
Fulton county was covered with
debt of $6,000.00. Upon this
sum, the County was paying 5
per cent. interest, or 100000 a
year. At this time, the County
owes but 50, 200, and it is beng
carried at 8 per cent or $66 a
year. This has been accomplish
ed in spite Of the fact, that dur
ing that time we have had two
murder trials to pay for. Also.
during this time we have painted
all the County bridges, and have
put plank on SIX out OF the eleven.
Furthermore, we are now not
paying any State tax on the
County Indebtedness, thing
that had always been done prior
to the last three years, but we
make the parties loaping the
money pay that.
To those who may feel that one
term Is enough for man, let me
say that that depends upon how
you look at 1T. II the County
needs man with experience to
manage It's affairs, then a second
term man should be much more
capable than man who goes into
office without knowing a thing
about the business, and that
must be guided In his actions by
what the clerk or his attorney
says. How many of the voters
who are reading this, could walk
into the Commissioners office,
and transact the business, with
out spending a good part of his
term In learning the business?
So we'll recognized was this fact,
that formerly, only one new man
was risked to be elected at a time
so that he could go into the Office
and find two other mem bers with
experience. This law was
changed-not for the welfare of
the taxpayers but that there
might be greater opportunities
to work through grating
schemes while the new board
were getting their eyes open.
Ny record Of three years is be-
fore you, gentlemen, and If you
think the management of the af-
fairs would be better for having
me remain IN office, | shall cheer
fully serve you, with the same
fidelity as in the past. Ii not, |
shall as cheerfully abide by your
decision.
