COVENTRY,
COVENTRY. -@.I"+' - Andrew Kingsbury Killed by a Bull.

Andrew KiuRsbury of North Gov entry was attacked Saturday morning by a vicious bull while at work on his farm and was terribly gored.' He was taken to the Hartford hospital, where he died at 6 o'c.otk Saturday evening MT. Kingsbury owned two bulls which he had trained to wolk in a yoke like pair of oxen, and it was one of these which killed him. He was alone at the time, but it was evident that he had put the yC ks on one of the animals when the other attacked him. A farmland who was at work nearby came to his assistance and dragged him out of the barnyard. Dr. I P. Fiske was called, and a little later Dr E. P. Flint of Roo kville was sent for and they caused his removal to the Hartford hospital.
 His right thigh was torn open and several arteries were severed. Two ribs on his right side were broken, his right shoulder was dislocated and a scalp wound extended from his right eye over his head to point back of his ear. MT: Kipgsbury was a na. tive of Rockville, born April 8, 1949, the son of Erastus and Hannah Kings bury. He was educated in the com. mon and private soRocls of Coventry, and taught school for a time, though most of his life was spent on a farm. May 26, 1880, he married Mary Laura Hughes, who survives him, with two children, John E. and Hannah B both residing at home.
 Mr. Kingsbury was a republican in politics. He served in the general assembly in 1905 and 1907, and was house chairman of the committee on agriculture during the last session.

The Cry of the Loon,

The cry of the loon is one of the strangest, weirdest sounds in nature. Those who have heard it can scarcely wonder that it has so often been woven into song and legend.
 A blood red ring hung round the moon
 Hung round the moon. An, me! An. mel I heard the piping of the loon, s.
 A wounded loon. An, me! .s And yet the eagle feathers rare
 l. trembling, wove in my braves hair.
 Almost all writers who have attempt ed to describe the cry of this bird have nkened 1t to unmirthful laughter. Thus MT. Vernon Bailey, speaking of the sound, describes 1t as follows: "Only on the lonely lake in the heart of the woods do you get the startling thrill of the looms wild cry-one clear. piercing note or long. Quavering. de moniacal laugh that to the timid sug- gests herd of screaming panthers."

 Represen tative Walker is taking up the matter of the changed state line, also the record of the Woodstock and Union line on the northeast corner o1 Union. It seems that Ohaffee Bros, Go. of Oxford bought wood lot in Union few years ago, on the north ern border of Connecticut. After. wards, or about that time. the new state line on the north was run through, and it set over into their wood lot some 26 rods from their north bound. At the same time the town line and county line of Wind ham and Holland tor perhaps not the line but the bound) was moved four rods east of the former location. This bound was Ohaffee Rros Co.'S north west bound. The line as laid out has caused 8 severe disturbance in bounds and old lines of property own. CTS. Property owners who have deeds, both in Oonne cticut and Massa- chusetts, ware bounded by the Old Colony line, and have used and en. joyed their property for generations. In one place west of the highway leading from Mashapaug to South bridge can be seen the wall and line of the formerly John Winch place in Union), but the stats line as at pres. ent defined is several rods south of the wall. That further trouble may be avoided, and to get the matter legally adjusted, Mir. Walker is looking these old lines up. In one instance, few years ago, Charles Hyde out the An. drew Bouvis lot, which lot borders north on Old Colony line, and when cutting cut to the known bound of the lot, which was several rods north of the present state line designation. Lyman Moore, 8 large land owner along the Connections border in Massachusetts, claims his land goes to the Old Colony line and no further, irrespective of any changes that the two states may have made of late. The general impression seems to pre- vail among men of good judgment, who now land along the line in dis. turbanoe, that they can best settle 1t among themselves, as the moving of the state line does not add or detract from their former foldings, as courses and distances of their lots held, irre- spective of what the state may wish to do in moving it's own bounds. A very mica question will come up as to what business the state had in moving any bound of individual property owners. do not refer to bounds formerly established by the state, but bounds established by the individual, and of record.

A score of persons died In Liverpool in the crash of buildings. and the force of the wind was felt through Cheshire. Warwick and Staf- ford. In Limerick. Galway and Ath lone more than POO houses were blown down and as many more were burned In 1898 Dublin was swept by gale quite as great and half the trees in the Phoenix park were put down New York Sun.
