TREE FELL ON HIM.
Frank Fisher Lies All Night Uncon-
scious on Creek Bank.

Lying all night in a pool of blood
on the bank of the Shunganunga OPP
posite the mouth of the Locust street
spillway, felied and rendered un-
conscious by the crash of a
tree as he was getting the evening
wood, Frank Fisher. So years old,
arose at day break this morning in a
dazed condition with deep cash over
his left eye, both eyes swollen and
blackened and blood dried over his
clothing. He wandered for hours
about the streets trying to find his
home at $40 West Locust street. At
Z o'clock telephone from the neigh
borhood of Sixth and Harrison more
than a mile and half from his home,
called the police to get the man who
was reported walking about covered
| with blood, battered up. and carrying
a hand saw. The patrol wagon went
to find the old man and took him
home where he again relapsed into
unconsciousness.
Fisher works for the Santa Fe in
the water supply department. It has
long been his custom after returning
home in the evening and getting his
supper to go to the bank of the creek
across several back lots and cut up
some wood for the house, big pile
| in the back yard testifying to his dill
igence. Often he does not come in
until after 10 o'clock staying out on
| the creek, chopping in the half light.
Last night he did not come in early
and his family and stepson Jake Wall,
all went to bed, expecting to find him
this morning. But the old man was
not in his bed this morning and a
search was instituted. All the neigh
borhood were out and curious and
anxious. The chopping ground was
examined and the blood despatched
| tree gave evidence of his endeavors
at cutting. On the ground was a pool
of blood and the packed earth as of
| his nights resting place. No trace of
| the man could be found so the creek
was dragged.

until 10 o'clock, when a Santa Fe

very successful. He is now applying
for patents with every nation in the

ches in diameter and runs the full
length of the rifle barrel, which con.
tains the acid used to muffie the sound
Mr.. Columbe claims superiority in his
invention over that Of the Markham
rife, as his device kills over
ninety per cent Of the sound, while the
latter only seventy-tiye.
He win remain in town about two
weeks during which time he will make
several demonstrations before the
corps of cadets at the university Be
fore leaving Venezuela for home Mr..
Columbe came In contact with defec-
tive rifle and in making a demOnstra-
ton had his thumb blown OF. Mr.
Columbe remembered here as one of
Norwich's greatest athletes and pit
cher of much prominence in the minor
leagues Of New England. Besides the
noiseless rife he has patents on sew
eral other inventions, two OF which
we're contrived While a student at the
