Accidental Shooting.

Monday a sad accident occur
red at the Theobald ranch in this
county near Creswell which re-
suited in the death of Mrs. Dan
iel Theobald. She had driven
down to Floyd Hill to meet her
son who was returning from
Cripple Creek for visit and on
the way home he stopped to
shoot some rabbits. When he
got into the wagon again he
handed the gun to his mother
who placed it across her lap.
Mother and son were enjoying
their visit when just as the ranch
was reached the gun slipped from
Mrs. Theobald's lap and was
discharged when the trigger
caught on the seat. The bullet
first pierced the woman's hand
and then entered her breast leav-
ing gaping wound. She lived
about two hours after the acci-
dent occurred.

and his many friends urge his legis-
latiye and business experience, his
popularity and high standing in the
community where he lives, his
strength with the rank and file of the
party, as reasons emphasizing his
availability as a candidate for the
senate at this time.
Lon Burse as he is generally
and Familiarity known at home, is a
self-made man in every respect. Born
So years ago in this town, Of poor
parents though of the best report, he
was thrown upon his own resources
when years old, and since that time
has padded his own canoe and made
the most of his opportunities. He
worked as a boy on a farm for five
years, getting what schooling was
possible under the circumstances,
then went to work in the Pioneer
wooden mill, working up from the bot
tom-scouring wool--till he finally
became boss in the weave room there
After that he was boss weaver in the
Walker mill, and held supervisory
positions in several other wooden
mills in different parts of the state
Finally he was made boss weaver at
the new Waverley mill in Pittsfeld,
from which position he resigned after
two or three years, in 1897, on &C
count of i'll health.
The independent-reporter. [volume] (Skowhegan, Me.) 1909-1955, 1912-06-13

Since that time he has been super
intendent of the Pittsfeld water
works system, which has materially
expanded under his management. He
has had charge of the sewer depart
ment most of that time, for Il years
has been water commissioner, and
since 1898 has been an assessor of the
Pittsfield Village Corporation, much
of the time as chairman, and besides
all this has found time to do consider
able farming.
Mr.. Burse has always been a Re-
publican, has been on the Pittsfeld
Republican town committee for more
