Ray II. Thuriow Instantly Killed.
RIFLE IN HANDS OF COMPANION WAS
ACCIDENTALLY DISCHARGED.

An unfortunate and sad affair occurred
near South Paris Tuesday, when Ray h:
Thurlow, 8 years of age, son OF MI. and
Mrs. Hiram z. Thurlow, was instantly
killed BY the accidental discharge OF
q. calibre rife In the hands of 81. Will
lard Berry, II years OF age, son OF Mr..
and Mrs. Hiram NJ. Berry. =.
At the time of the occurrence, between
10 and II O'Clock Tuesday. the two boys
were in the pasture Of o. &. Clifford,
about mile and half southeast of the
village. They had gone out for a ram
BILE, and the Berry boy wanted to take
the rifle, which was q new one belong
ing to his older brother. He was told
that he could not have 1t, but succeeded
in getting it and taking 1t with him.
The boys had fired the rife a number
of times, and cartridge was finally put
in which didn't work right, and the Ber-
~ boy was endeavoring to remove 1t,
the gun being under his arm with the
muzzle pointing backward. The Thur.
low boy was standing few feet behind
him. The gun was accidentally dis
charged, and the bullet struck the
Thurlow boy at the corner of one eye,
going through the top OF MS head. IL
is thought that death must have been
instantaneous.
Thoroughly frightened, Willard ran
about half a mile to the house Of Mr..
Clifford and a message was telephoned
to the village. As soon as possible Mr..
Berry and DR.. Stewart started for the
place with the doctors automobile, but
of course nothing could be done.
Coroner William J. Wheeler was at
Harrison that day, but being reached by
telephone aud informed of the circum-
he gave permission for the re-
moval of the body, which was brought
10 the village.
1t was evidently an accident, and no
inquest was considered necessary.
Ray q. Thurlow was the third child Of
Mr.. and Mrs. Hiram E. Thurlow, born
Nov. 81, 1902 He was bright boy, in |
the fourth grade in the Shurtleff school,
md q regular attendant at the Univers- |
,list Sunday School. Much sympathy is
'elt for his parents, as we'll as for all
others affected by the unfortunate affair.
The funeral was held at the Univers-
Hist church Thursday afternoon, at
ended by Rev. Chester Gore Miller, and
burial was in Riverside.

Lumley Castle Band Plays.

Everybody" came out Wednesday
evening to hear the concert at the Mar
ket Square green by the Lumley Castle
Band. The Square was full OF people,
and they were generous in their applause
though that is not saying that every
bit of the applause was not deserved, for
il was. You will travel far to find q
boys band, at least in the country, which
plays so well. Their selections are of
course not elaborate compositions Of
high grade music, but they are we'll rem
dered, which is the essential thing. Time
and tone are excellent, indeed, almost
surprising considering the age of the
players and the short time they have
been at work.
This band was organized in the latter
part Of the year 1909, in connection with
Lumley Castle, Knights of the Holy
Grail, and the organization Of both the
castle and the band was mainly due to
the efforts of T. NJ. Davis. 1t is made
up of boys, some of them so young that
they almost surprise the spectator. For
the past few months they have been un-
der the instruction of Frank P. Knapp,
a thorough musician and an effective

At first number Of them hired ipstru-

and of good quality, and the amount of
the investment in these Is something like
$500.

After long period Of quiet, there was
q real sunburst of social activity last
week, the Fan-Tans opening the round
with their first session for some months.
They met with Mrs. Cora S. Briggs at
Highland Cottage Tuesday, some OF them
spending most of the afternoon there,
but as usual, the principal feature of the
affair was the supper. This was to have
been eaten out doors, but the coming OF
the rain drove that and everything else
inside. Nevertheless, full justice was
done to an appetizing spread. The rest
OF the time was spent socially without
special program. As the rains continued
to descend, and most Of them were un-
prepared for wet weather, is was neces-
sary to summon carriages to take them
home. There were twenty-one present,
including Mrs. Archie Cole Of New York
and Miss Ruth A. Tucker Of West Paris
An act not down on the bills was en-
joyed by the audience in the Square at
mail time Thursday forenoon. The
street car, which was not running to the
end of the track on account OF the sewer
work, had been stopped beside the
green in the Square, and was standing
with set brakes, between trips. A vel
known business man of an adjoining
town, who has recently acquired an au
tomobile but is as yet little new at thu
wheel, came down from High Stree
and made the sharp curve around th'
lower point of the green. He didn't &c
the reverse twist quite quick enough
and though running slowly, slapped int
the end Of the electric car with Sian
which could be heard some distance
The only effect visible from distanc
was the angle Of one of the gas lamps
which was pointed to . spot slmos
under the wheel. But say! You SHOULD
nave seen the sublimely indifferent a.
with which the driver backed OF an
pointed toward Norway. He didn
even glance TO right or left to return To
salutations Of his many friends who IN
Witnessed the affair.

SERVED HIM AS COUNSEL
Says "He Was a Man Whose
Like We Shall Ne'er
See Again"

Captain James Parker, the well
known naval officer and lawyer OF
this city, who was one of the counsel
for Rear Admiral Winfield Scott
Sehley, before the famous Court OF
Inquiry In 1891, had nothing but
words of praise and vindication for
the famous admiral when inter
viewed today by a NEWS reporter
at his home. AZ Water street, AL.
though the senior of the late Admi.
raj Schley by over seven years
Captain Parker enjoys good health
and conversed with the reporter
quite heartily. On the latest be-
reavement of the nation he said:
This case OF the death of the
Rear Admiral serves to Illustrate the
shortness and uncertainty of human
life. Here was a man who had oc-
cupied every position that was possi-
BILE in the life of naval officer. He
had shown his personal bravery and
ability on the Mississippi river in the
Civil War. AS Admiral Dewey said
He was the commander Of the feet
which destroyed the hopes and aspi-
rations of Admiral Cervera on July
3, 1898, In Santiago Bay" And YET
he dies on a New York street with
nobody near who knew him,
''All the naval department could
do, 1t did. To mortify and disered-
1t him before his countrymen, but
in vain He died, I verify believe,
with the pleasure of knowing he was
held In admiration on all sides.
II was one of his counsel before
ti5e Court of Inquiry In 1891. When
retained, he said, Captain, l want
you, not only because Of your legal
and naval ability, but to personally
see that there is no mud singing at
fellow officers.
"He was man, take him for all
in all, whose like we ne'er shall see
