in his left arm by the discharge of an old

OF another boy, Alfred Bailey OF West

with Others in the neighborhood, were at
play on the grounds of Doctor Aliens
residence; after awhile they were Joined
by the Bailey boy, who later showed
them the revolver and said he had some
cartridges. The other boys tried to FIRE
the revolver bat without success. Final
~ young Bailey took it and fired il at
close range IN the midst Of the group OF
children. The ball hit the Allen boy
near the left wrist and running up the
arm penetrated the flesh opposite the ell
bow and there lodged, stopping danger

Frank Wood Of Woodstock. aged 81
and unmarried, attempted suicide Mon
day, Sept. 20, by shooting, at the home OF
Henry W. Emery in Pomfret where he
has been working since last winter. He
is now in county Jail on the charge of as
sault on Mr.. Emery's daughter, three or
four years old. Wood went into the
house from the barn, from which the lit
tie girl was brought a few minutes be-
fore, and, with careless reply to Mrs.
Emery's accusation, went upstairs. Two
shots were heard and Wood soon came
down again and passed outdoors. He be-
came faint and sat down after going a
few steps. II was found that Wood had
fred two bullets from a 32-caliber re-
vulver into the breast. One struck his
ribs and passed out under his arm. The
other lodged in his shoulder but has not
been extracted. He will probably re-
cover.
The body of George Frost OF st. Al
bans, who disappeared Sept. 10 after he
bad gone on n fishing trip to st. Adams
bay, was washed up on the shore Of the
bay last Thursday, thus probably clearing
IN a mystery which has been troubling
his relatives and the authorities who had
been searching for the missing man. On
the Saturday following the day he had
started out fishing, FrOst's boat was
found in the bay. II was right side up
and evidently had not been tipped over,
as II contained some dressed fish, Frost's
coat and other things. Another fisher
man reported having seen Frost and hav-
ing talked with him while out on the
water and Frost reported having lost his
gun overheard. II is thought, therefore,
that he was leaning over the edge OF the
boat looking for his weapon when he
lost his balance and pitched into the wa
ter. One oar was missing. He was
about 40 years old.
