There was an exciting runaway in Ellis
worth Saturday afternoon. A team
owned by the Lake shore Seed Co., OF
Dunkirk, n. Y, driven by its agent,
Mr.. Turk, was coming down State street
near the hardwood factory, when one OF
the whiffietree hooks broke, letting the
horse out in the shafts, and frightening
the animal, which ran. Mr.. Turk was
toying to regain control OF the horse,
when the runaway collided with the
wagon OF Capt. John A. Lord, standing in
front of Z. H. Wooster's store, Capt. Lord
being in the store at the time. Mr.. Turk
was thrown completely over Capt. Lords
horse, and was pretty badly shaken up.
The runaway proceeded down State street
to Main street, where it was stopped
without further damage. Both wagons

Your Eyes and The Movies.

Your Eyes ana Inc MOVIES.
The progress made in the character OF
subjects presented in the movies today,
makes it desirable for all inquiriug people
to at least attend occasionally. Annoying
after effects on the eyes OF many prevent
them from enjoying the social diversion
and often the educational advantages
thus derived.
The great majority of those who suffer
from eye strain after watching moving
pictures can find much, il not complete
relief, in perfectly-ftted glasses. The
picture may not be quite so sharp, but
this is more than compensated for by the
increased comfort. For those with very
sensitive eyes, q colored glass, either
amber, yellowish green or amethyst, may
be necessary to give complete relief.
There have been put on the market re-
Gently several varieties of colored glass,
each OF which has some advantages, so
that some suitable color can usually be
secured
A subdued light in the theatre is much
less irritating than when the only light
visible comes from the screen. 1t is also
advisable to avoid sitting in place where
is necessary to look upward, as the adj
ditional strain becomes very tiresome, and
frequently leaves headache. Journal Of
American Medical Assocsatjon.

Sarah LAWN, Aged A, Was
Struck in Abdomen by
Gunshot G ge
WEAPC ~ ,AS HELD
81 A 7-YEAR-OLD
Accident Happened on the
East Barre Road Yes
terday Afternoon

Sarah LAWN, the 4-year.old daughter Of
Mr.. and Mrs. Angel LAWN, who live near
the reservoir on the outskirts of East
Barre, died at the City hospital Sunday
afternoon at 5 o'clock from gunshot
wound in the abdomen resulting from the
accidental discharge of a gun in the hands
Of her year-oldbrother, Abilino LAWN,
around o'clock.
Funeral services for The child were held
in st. Sylvester's church at Graniteville
this afternoon, the parish priest, Rev. Fr.
Joseph Turcot, officiating, and interment
was made in the Catholic cemetery on
Beckley street in this city.
Little Sarah and her brother were alone
in the hallway of their home when other
members of the family, about to seat
themselves at the table for the Sunday
dinner, heard the report OF the shotgun.
Mr. LAWN rushed into the hallway to find
his daughter lying on the floor with blood
streaming from wound in the abdomen.
DIR. n. E. Avery was hurriedly summoned
and in the physicians auto the child was
rushed to the City hospital, where an
operation was performed at 3 o'clock.
Bird shot from the small-bore gun had
torn great hole in the abdomen and the
explorative operation performed by the
physicians did not disclose any of the
small missiles that were in the cartridge
when the gun was discharged There
were symptoms Of hemorrhagia, and un-
til death came in the late afternoon the
child continued to sink rapidly. The re-
mains were removed to Whitcomb's un-
dertaking establishment in East Barre
last evening.
Relatives of the child who were in the
house at the time of the accident are at
a loss to explain how so young lad
could manage a shotgun. The weapon
was standing in the corner of the hall
when LAWN, sr., calling his children to
dinner, started for the dining room him
self. Two other children were at the
table with their parents when the report
Young LAWN was unable to
givo very coherent account of the acci-
dent. He says he was fooling with the
gun and his sister was playing on the
floor when there was a loud noise. After
the smoke had cleared away, he spoke to
bis sister, but she did not answer.
II is stated that Mr.. LAWN was not
'ware that the chamber in the gun con-
aimed a cartridge when he left it in the
'orner of the hall.
