frame blanket mill of the Winthrop
Mills Co.. located in this town and
formerly owned by John II. McIlroy,

ing, estimated at from $4,000 to sSeo9
and threatened for a time the destrue-
ton of at least a portion of the plant.
The business of the company is the
manufacture of bed blankets, and con-
stitutes the only industry of this part
of the town. The fire caught at about
$50 A. NJ, in the picker room, on the
second floor of the building. and is
supposed to have been due to some
foreign substance getting into the
pickers. possibly a match.
The fire was confined to the room in
which it originated, and that it was
stopped there is said to have been due,
to large extent, to the perfect work
ing of the sprinkler system. The dam
age was mostly to the machinery, and
blankets in process of construction.
Tie loss is covered by insurance in

some days yet, reasonable time being
allowed for shipment from distant
points, and the total receipts at Ban

nounced his intention of preaching in
his church. the New Sweden Lutheran

er offer a public statement regarding
the case.

who first declared August jacobson
was a suicide and afterwards that he
had been murdered

he number of victims is a slight
reduction from the figures of last
year, but exceeds the total of 1910.
Maine contributed 20 victims, Massa-
chusetts g, New Hampshire 4, YER
mont, Rhode Island and Connecticut
! each and the Provinces 5.
The decreased figures are in the
fact of a greater number of hunters
than ever before.
Six of the hunters killed We're shot
in mistake for animals. Ten We're kill
ed by their own guns and IL by the
accidental discharge of guns in the
hands of others.

seriously diminish the supply of deer

where the season was but a week long,
there has been general complaint OF
tn damage done crops by deer while
the state has already expended its
$4,000 appropriations for damage
awards and asks for more money.
