HONEY BEE" DAVIS SHOT.

Chelsea, Nov. 27.-State's At
torney Stanley c. Wilson in con-
Quoting an investigation of the
fatal shooting of Hilas d., or Honey
Bee" Davis at South Newbury on
Thanksgiving day, has found moth
ing to contradict the report that
the shooting was accidental. The
weapon was in the hands of Mr..
Davis son, Ipse Davis, at the time.
DR.. William Kicker, the town
health officer, who was called to
look into the case, reported to the
States attorney Saturday that he
had questioned both the son and
the widow of the victim, and their
stories conceded in the statement
that the son, Ipse, was loading a
Aigh-powered rifle on Thursday and
that he called his father to come
and look it over; whereupon, in
some unaccountable way, the weap-
on was discharged. The bullet
struck the elder Davis in the stom-
ach, and he died shortly afterwards,
from internal hemorrhage.
Health Officer Kicker, DR.. Fred
erick Fletcher of Bradford and DR..
George Hatch of Groton were called
to attend the wounded man, and
the last two assisted Health Officer
Kicker in conducting an eXamina-
ton. They say that Ipse Davis
was not able to tell how the weapon
was discharged. After viewing the
remains and hearing the statements
of the widow and the son, DR.. Kicker
reported to States Attorney Wilson
that the shooting was accidental.
The Davis place is located in the
village of South Newbury, where all
the parties are we'll known. The
boy is only fourteen years of age
and bears a good reputation. His
father was 20 years old and had
lived there a good many years. He
conducted a small farm and was
better known as a keeper of bees,
having a big hive and getting the
name, Honey Bee" Davis, be-
cause of that business. At one
time, H. D. Davis lived in the house
now owned by Capt. Chamberlin
and kept bees on the side hill.
He was considered somewhat
quarrelsome, and he was to have
come before the December term of
Orange county court, which opens
next week, to answer to the charge
of assaulting George Franklin. He
had been bound over to county !
court and was out on $500 bail at
the time of the shooting on Thurs
day.

MAY PASTE MILLION POSTERS.
Billboards will teach Prevention
of tuberculosis.

Preparations have been nearly
completed for the beginning of the
million dollar poster campaign
against tuberculosis which will be
carried on jointly by the National
Association for the Study and
Prevention of tuberculosis, the
Associated Bill Posters and Dis
tributors of America and the Poster
Printers Association of the United
States.
The campaign is an outcome of
the last convention of the Bill
Posters, at which time a resolution
was adopted granting, free of charge
to the National Association for the
Study and Prevention of Tuber-
culosis, space on all of the billboards
controlled by this organization,
located in 3, 400 towns and villages
of the country. The National Asso-
citation was at once confronted
with the difficulty of accepting the
generous gift of the Bill Posters,
because of the lack of funds to
carry out the programme proposed.
The Poster Printers offered to
print all of the posters free of charge.
but the problem of paper was such
a large one, involving so many
thousand dollars that the National
Association was obliged to appeal
to paper manufactures in all parts
of the United States. As a result
of these requests sufficient paper
has been received to start printing
$4,000 posters. The sketches for
the designs have also been solicited
from prominent artists in and
around New York City.
Through the generosity of these
different groups, the National Asso-
citation is able to inaugurate one of
the largest bill posting campaigns
ever undertaken by a philanthropic
If sufficient paper
is procured, a million posters will be
pasted on billboards in every state
in the Union.
The posters will be 9 feet long
and Z feet wide, and will be printed
n several colors. The posters are
designed to show graphically how
consumption can be cured and
They will be distrib-
lted through the local and state
lnti-tuberculosis associations and
through individuals interested in
he crusade against this disease in
il parts of the United States.

Hinsdale, H., Tuesday, the following
characteristic letter which accom-
panied a draft for $4,000 made by

The letter from Doctor Pearsons
is as follows:
Fifty thousand dollars, farewell:
You have been in my keeping for

have helped to educate many young
men and women who have helped

White Pine forests of Michigan, and
now you are going into the hands
of other stewards in the State of
Vermont. There you are to become
a part of a perpetual endowment
fund of one hundred and fifty
thousand dollars for Montpelier
Seminary, one hundred thousand
of which sum has been given by the
people of Vermont. When you
arrive in Montpelier you will go
into the keeping of good business
men, and you will be safe; as |
expect that every dollar of this
perpetual endowment fund will be
kept intact and actively doing good
for five hundred years.

OUR NEW JAIL.

The repairs which we're commenc-
ed on the Orange county jail about
the G.>-1sf July of the present year
have o,cn completed and the build
ing was formally turned over to the
county by the Pauly Jail Building
company of st. Louis, Mo-, Satur-
day, the Goth inst, and if it can be
said that a people can justly and
reasonably feel proud of its penal
institutions, then certainly the res
idents of Orange county have a right
to look with pride upon their jail,
which has been thoroughly remod-
eled and repaired under the able
supervision of the commission, con-
sisting of the Honorables Horace
White of Topsham and Dana H.
Morse of Randolph, the assistant
judges of the county, and Hon. H.
4. Baldwin of Wells River, sheriff
of the county.
The eight stone cells in the old
jail were taken down and the in
terror of the old structure complete
ly wrecked, Two tool-proof steel
floors, covered with four inches of
concrete have been installed, and
on each floor are six modern steel
cells, fitted with sliding doors,
operated and fastened by the latest
overlooking device. Each cell is
equipped with two cots, a toilet
and a lavatory, with hot and cold
water; in front of the cells on each
floor is a four-foot corridor, at one
end of which is a lavatory and
shower bath, supplied with hot and
cold water; in front of this corridor
on each floor is a corridor for the
use of the jailer. The new addition
to the Jail is twenty-four feet and has
two stories, the upper story being
utilized as quarters for female
prisoners; this large cell is equipped
with a bath room with complete
fixtures. The iailer's sleeping apart
ments are also on this floor, and
from this floor there is an entrance
TO the second floor of the jail house.
On the first floor is located the
jail's office, which is large and spe-
cious, with modern conveniences,
as toilet, etc. From this floor, there
is an entrance into the jail kitchen
and into the jail proper, also a stair
way leading to the basement, in
which is located a large boiler,
which furnishes steam heat for the |
entire plant. In the jail house, |
there has been finished off a large, |
spacious kitchen, equipped with |
set tubs with hot and cold water
attachments, and modern kitchen
extending across one entire
side; and on the second floor there
has been finished off a large bath
room, fully equipped.
A reservoir with a brick filter
has been built by the repairs COM

mission, which has handled the
matter with such discretion and
wisdom as to have kept within the
appropriation limited to $4,000,
and which has turned over to the
county thoroughly up-to-date in
stitution.

times remain open on the webs
throughout the winter. but as a rule
they are closed by the mating To-

of numerous layers of silk, inclosing a
