SHOT THE DEER
"Hub" Stanton Has Lively Adventure
 with a Big Buck.


 with Big Buck.
 Herbert Stanton, who lives OE the west side of the Hopsatonic river, near the toll bridge, has been annoyed all during the season, by deer which have ruined his buckwheat crop and damaged other vegetation on his farm. He has been unable to secure anything like ad- equate compensation from the state. and resolved to put topto the depredations if possible.
 Last Friday afternoon, late in the day, he saw big buck deer approach stack of buckwheat, and procuring his gun, he stealthily crept up behind a corn stack close by, and shot at the animal, aiming for his head The deer fell, but instantly got up, and started on jump, for Mr. Stanton. The man lodged be- hind the cornstack, and managed to es- cape to the barn, from which he watched the wounded and evidently crazed deer, which charged upon the corn stack, scattering the stalks right and left, and acting in the most violent and frenzied manner. The deer finally ran off, into the woods The next morning he Was found dead.
 MT. Stanton notified Deputy Rhoades, who gave directions for the disposal of the carcass. The buck was fine, well grown specimen, weighing over 200 pounds. A considerable number of deer have been seen frequently in the neigh borhood of the Stanton farm, and they have done much damage to the crops of that region.

FITZGERALD'S DEATH
Details of Football Fatality to Son of
 Former Canaanite.


 A copy of the Valley, (Neb.,) Enter prise, of Nov. g. gives particulars of the death of Clair Fitzgerald, son of John Fitzgerald, formerly of Canaan, referred to in The News of last week. From the Enterprise s account we quote:
 Little did we think that the pleasure of the Valley Benson high school game on last Friday would be marred by a fatal accident, In the last quarter of that game Valley kicked to the visitors. Roy Gordon got the ball and was run ming toward the opposing team when Fitzgerald met the runner, striking him head first. The jured boy did not raise from the ground and was soon car ried from the field Dr. Agee was called and found that the boy had lost all power of action. He was taken to his home at Reld hotel where he showed no signs of improvement. The next day, Dr. Gut trie, an old family physician of Valpa- raiso, was called, but he gave no hope. The inj jured boy was then rushed to the St. Joseph hospital in Omaha in the Agee car where he died at 80 a. m, Monday, surrounded by all his near re latives. Dr. Summers also examined the boy at the hospital and said there was DO hope for him.
 The relatives accompanied by the re- mains came out from Omaha, Monday at two o'clock and were met at the station by large gathering of sympa- thyzing friends.
 The funeral, which was held at the home Wednesday, at 3 D. m. was one of the largest ever held at this place and was distressingly sad on account of the suddenness of the death and the regret ful conditions.
 Rev. McClung. of Benson, conducted the service, assisted by Rev. Eye. Dur ing the service the business houses closed, the school closed and the High school attended the service i'll a body. The Benson High school team which partlci pated in the fatal game, accompanied by Superintendent Speedie and Prof. Don- nelly were in attendance and contributed a floral offering. The team of which the deceased was d member was pail bearers. The floral offerings were most elaborate. Besides a large number of individual offerings these organizatiO 6 contributed two Valley foot ball teams, Benson team, Valley Woman's club, Royal Highlanders, Presbyterian Sun day school, the Epworth League, the Busy Bees, the Valley schools and tho So. Omaha Stock Yards Go. lnterment was made at Prospect Hill cemetery be- side an older brother, Edward Fitzgerald. who was killed in a railroad accident three years ago.

B. M. 4. ANNUAL BANQUET
Committee Appointed to Arrange Fes-
 tive Event of the Year.


 The first smoker of the Canaan Busi uess Mems Association for the season, was held in Odd Fellows Hall, Thurs day evening. and was we'll attended, about B members being present, and a healthy interest manifested in the or ganiZatiOn and its work for the coming season. President Lyles called on vari- ous committees for reports, which show ed that the association had achieved various laudable things during the re- cess, III the line of local improvement
 Secretary Roberts read the report of the last meeting of the directors of the State Business Mems Association, held in Hartford.
 Justice Ford brought up the subject of making an effort to have the court of common pleas brought from Falls Will lage to Canaan, and cited several points in support of the argument favOring such removal. J. Clinton Roraback supported the proposition, and it was voted that the chair appoint committee to investigate the subject and report it's recommendations at a future meeting.
 After considerable discussion reso- lution was passed that ''it is the sense of the Business Mems Association" that all places of business be closed on Sun day, except the drug stores. which are privileged by law to keep open for the dispensing of medicines, at certain hours during the day. This provision would prohibit the sale of fruit, ice cream, candy, etc.
 It was voted that the association give tits annual banquet at some date to be named. and the chair was authorized to sappoint a committee of three to arrange sfor it.
 After the business session the mem bers adjourned to the dining room where Joseph L. Parsons, committee, had pre- pared spread of sandwiches and coffee, with an abundance of. cigars, which were enjoyed by all present. The de tails of the refreshments were looked after by Mrs. Margaret Foley, who saw to it that there was nothing lacking ill the service.

DEER BROKE HIS NECK
Ran HeadIong Into Wire Fence While
 Pursuing Doe.

OOCs
 A good sized buck deer was found dead. near Proper's farm south of the railroad bridge over the Housatonic river, Saturday. The animal had evi- dently broken its neck by running at terrific speed against a strong wire fence.
 A large doe was seen by Deputy Sheriff Rhoades, the same morning, running in a weary manner, as if it were completely tired out. Its tongue was hanging out and its speed was slow as 1t ran across the road just ahead of Rhoades' team. The sheriff decided afterward that the doe was running to escape the buck, which had pursued her down the hill and met his death at the wire fence while endeavoring to catch her.

Mp Thanksgiving Song
BY EMMA RODEMEYER WAIT

My heart is athrill with it's thankfulness song, For manifest blessings bestowed all along; For sunshine and shadow wondrousy blent, That give to my life the right mete of content. For life with it's happiness for hearts so dear, That pour out their bounty and radiate cheer. For vision to see cen though tears in the eyes, Gods marvellous rainbow suspended in skies. For beautiful mem'ries that soothe and sustain, That come from the past with their fulness again; For hope with its radiance shining afar
 As if catching brightness from the gates ajar. For trust that's unfaltering, faithful and true, Revealing the brightest and best to the view; But more than all, thankful for Gods perfect love That's drawing us gently to His rest above.
