The resignation of Russell p. Baker

Accidental Shooting.

Aiken Dukett son of Mr.. and Mrs. Will
liam Dukett, of Bridport. aged 10, ac-
cidentally shot himself Thursday after
noon about o'clock. 1t seems that the
young boy had just got home from school
and was about to change his clothes in his
room, which was near by the hired mans
room, who had a 80 calibre revolver.
His mother heard shot and going to his
room found the boy unconscious on the
floor. Drs. Townsend and Blaisdell were
called and rendered all possible aid.
The boy was taken to Middlebury and
placed on the 9:40 tram where he was
taken to the Mary Fletcher hospital.
The parents and a brother and DIR. Blais-
dell accompanied the unfortunate lad to
Burlington. The young boy had not re-
gained consciousness at his arrival at the
hospital. 1t is thought that the ball is
lodged in the brain.
