How a Patridge . Committed Suicide

Benjamin Norton is responsible for this story of Sharon's latest in aviation, and he says that if readers don't believe the yarn they can consult the dog. If "Si" Perkins wuz alive he would prove it by "Si, but as "Si" is among the long departed, he refers to MT Sedgwick for corroboration
 A partridge aviated into Sharon on Wednesday of last week from the back woods and circling around "Ths Bar tram" applied for accommodations at the kitchen door. Not successful there, he continued his flight to the front piaz- ga, followed by crowd, consisting of one of the guests and dog.
 Dazcd by the excitement he had caused he did not alight but went on southward. Flying too low and with disabled steering gear, he came in con- tact with the Brownell cottage and fell to the ground. While adjusting his goggles and making necessary repairs to his biplaHe he was surrounded by the dog.
 After some delay, however, he rose three or four feet changed his course to the northwest aud with a tremendous burst of speed cleared the road, only to come to grief like a thirUeen-inch pro- jectile against Dr Chaffees front door, still followed by the crowd, the dog in advance. Serious trouble was the result for with disarranged goggles, broken biplane, shattered steering and no fuel the aviator lay unconscious.
 The guest and the dog reached the site of his misfortune shortly afterward and dragged the unfortunate aviator from the wreckage it was to late. He was dead. In struggle for the New York Times prize the partridge lost his life. Strange to relate he was eaten by cannibals day or two following and there is nothing left to tell the story except wishbone and small bag of feathers.
