STOOD UP In BOAT
AND WERE DROWNED
Walter Northey and Miss Walker Vic
Tins Through Their Own Care
lessness in Partridge Lake,

Tittleton, N. H., July 2s-Walter
Northey, the only son of Mr.. and Mrs.
0rrin Northey of this town, a Young
lad about IS years old, and young wo.
man companion, a cousin Of his mother,
Miss Walker Of Taunton, Mass, were
drowned yesterday at Partridge lake, a
body Of water about six miles from this
yill8gc
News came BY telephone that the two
while boating, Ind fallen into the water,
but IL was not known whether they
were dead and past resuscitation, and
Df. @. NJ Sneden went over by automo-
bile in record breaking time. He found
the young man dead and the young wo.
man showing signs of life. Efforts had
been made 10 resuscitate both the We
Tins, but the young man was gone be-
fore he was taken from the water. The
girl showed signs Of life but after Wig
orous measures had been used, and ev
erything possible done, those who work
ed over her we're obliged to give up
hope.
The two young people had gone over
to the lake with Mr.. and Mrs Northey,
the parents Of the young man, and two
sisters Of the girl, and had taken the
Bellows cottage for the day Young
Northey end Miss Walker were ont in
a boat aud, il seems, were standing up
in the boat, having a merry alteration
over something. II Is supposed that
they, in their fun, tipped over the boat.
It was very near boat house, at the
time, but the water there is very deep
and neither could swim.
Help reached the two as soon as pos.
slble, but Il was too late The accident
has cast a gloom over the resorters, the
cottages along the shore being, almost
without exception, filed with tenants.
Young Northey was popular boy
and his tragic death has cast a general
gloom over the community, sympathy
going out to his parents who thus lose
their only son.

FARMER SHOT DEER
EATING UP HIS GARDEN
The Offender Was Promptly Fined at
Brattleboro, But The Fine was
Later Remitted.

Brattleboro, July 2s.-William Sykes
of Putney, formerly Of West Spring
field, Mass, came before Judge e. w.
Gibson of the Brattleboro municipal
court yesterday charged with unlawful.
ly killing deer Monday afternoon.
Shortly after four o'clock Sykes, who
does an extensive market gardening
business, saw a large doe calmly eating
up the truck IN one Of his gardens
Arming himself with a rife he shot the
doe, believing that he was acting with.
i'll the statutes Of the state Of Massa-
chusetts where farmer II allowed to
kin any deer found destroying his
crops, report the occurrence immediate
" to the game warden and then turn
tho carcass over to the state.
A bin tending toward the same was
introduced at the last session of the
Vermont legislature BY Judge Gibson,
who represented Brattleborao IN the
state Senate This bin failed Of pas
sage but Sykes was unaware Of this
fact and acted in the belief that the bill
had become law.
After killing the deer he bled and
drew the carcass and then reported the
matter TO Deputy Game Warden r. Nj.
Robbins Of Putney who in turn reported
to County Fish and Came Commissioner
Roswell i. Frost. He complained to
States Attorney Charles H. Williams Of
Bellows Falls who issued warrant for
the arrest Of Sykes Without waiting
to be arrested Sykes reported to the au-
thorities and accepted service of the
warrant. He pleaded guilty To the
charge Of unIawfully killing deer and
a fine Of $i00 and costs was imposed
by Judge Gibson.
In view Of the extenuating circum-
stances the fine was suspended upon
Of costs amounting to s6.04
The carcass Of the deer was sold to G..
I Shumway, proprietor Of the Kendrick
house in Putney, and the funds derived
from the sale were returned to the
state.

TWO MEN IN AIRSHlP
BROKE THE RECORD
0rvilIe Wright Carried Passenger Last
Night and Made Over so Miles
Without a Mishap.

Washington, d. G., July 2s.--The
worlds aeropsane record for two men,
ais TO both time and distance was broken
last evening. in a beautiful flight Of
one hour, 2 minutes and 40 seconds
upwards Of so miles and at a speed
averaging about 40 miles an hour by
Oryille Wright at Fort Myer, with Lieut.
Frank p Lahm Of the army signal
corps as passenger. The former
record was made Inst year by his broth
ct, Wilbur, Joint inventor with him Of
the machine ii which both achievements
were performed. at Lemans, France,
with Prot. painlrve Of the French In
stitute rs passenger. That fight WAS
one hour, nine minutes and 81 seconds.
The cheering which hcralded the
setting Of a new mark ID the conquest
Of the air was led by President Taft,
who had sat- an intensely interested
spectator, throughout the fight, and
who insisted at is conclusion upon per-
sonally congratulating the brothers up
on their success. This success was all
important to the Wrights in that II
completed the first OF two crucial tests
Of their machine imposed upon them BY
the United Stotes government--the so.
called endurance test" which required
them to remain one hour continuously
in the air with one passenger. Orville
did nearly q minutes better than that,
and could have kept on indcfnitely-
three hours and a half the limit impos.
ed BY the gasolene capacity Of the sup
ply tank.
There was an evident sluggishness
in the rise Of the bird ike machine as

nevertheless, and when she veered
around, careening al an angle which
seemed perilous to the onlookers, to
make the northwood fight along the
Arlington cemetery boundary, It was
at a height Of nearly 60 feet, and
never after that was there any possible
question Of her vuoyancy and equipoise.
Round and round she went "a times
about the great drill ground 1000 feet
in circumference, they say, sometimes
in shorter circles but usually out AZ the
edges Of the boundary, at a height vary
ing but slightly save where some stray
current Of air from between che trees or
buildings rocked her up and down or
from side to aide. like boat ii gen
tie sea-
AS the hour drew to close, excite.
ment became intense A thousand
watches were out and eagerly scanned.
At the conclusion OF the 10th turn,
great shout went up; automobile horns
were footed IN deafening chorus, and
handclapping and cheers told the men
in the flying craft that their task was
accomplished. Wilbur Wright ran out
beneath them and waved his handker-
chief. The crowd expected Orville to
come down then, but be kept on. He
was after his brothers laureIs.
