Albert G. Brewster Stricken With Chock While Hunting-Chimney Fire in Slater Tenement Sunday Evening -Southeriy Gaie-Birthday Celebra- ton.


 Albert c. Brewster was stricken with slight paralytic shock while hunting in the Lester woods. on Stone Hill, Saturday. There were four in the par ty, Perle Melvin his son Sidney, Will liam Vaughn and MT. Brewster. The elder Mir, Melvin and NIT. Brewster were standing together in the woods when the dog parked some rods away. indicating that squirrel had been treed. Both men after some casual remark to securing the game start ed on run in the direction of the barking dog. During the run MT. Brew ster Jagged little and Mir. Melvin passed him, noting that he ran with peculiar halting motion. After MT. Melvin had shot the squirrel and put 1t in his game bag he looked for his companion of a minute before, but saw him nowhere. He then called his name loudly. and finally, guided by in- articulate sounds. he found MT. Brew Ster lying on the ground with his gun nearby. He was gotten out of the woods and taken home as quickly as possible. A physician was summoned and at once pronounced the trouble to be a slight shock. Sunday MT. Brew ster was no worse. He could use his legs and left arm and speak a very little at intervals. Dr. Jennings gives It as his opinion that days of strict quiet, with no excitement will result very favorably. NIT. Brewster is but Ss and chances are in his favor. Ev-
 
 his friend, and all are anxious about hls critical condition and hope his re- covery may be speedy and complete. Big Pumpkin Held Birthday Favors.
