five or six pieces of bone were removed
from his skull, and grave doubts OF his
recovery were expressed.
Lawrence was driving a team for
Charles Adams of Stock bridge and when
not far from the Ryther mill with a
load of lumber one horse became sick,
and when Lawrence was barnessing in
another horse belonging to a farmer
nearby, II is supposed that the strange
horse became restless and that the kick
resulted.
Jesse Davis was the next man who
ca me along and he found Lawrence ly.
ing unconscious on the ground near his
load. The injured man has been a resi-
dent OF Rochester most of his life. his
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Rodney Lawrence,
now deceased, having been well known
people in that town and by many in this
town. Young Lawrence himself worked
here on the state road last fall and on
the Bethel Coal & Ice company's team
last winter.

1900 LOST THEIR LIVES
IN THE DESTRUCTION
OF THE LUSITANIA
LUSITANIA WAS 18th
VESSEL TO BE DAMAGED

The Lusitania is the 29th ves-
sci to be sunk or damaged in the
first week of May in the German
war zone about the British Isles.
Most of the vessels were tor
pedoed by German submarines, al
though in some cases it has not
been established whether the dam
age was inflicted by mines or SUBJ
mersibles.
During the last fortnight Ger
man submarines have carried on
the most active campaign of any
time since the war begun. Six
teen of the 30 vessels were Brit
ish trawlers. There were four
British and one French merchant
men in the list. The others were
vessels of neutral nations. One
was the American steamer Gulf
light, torpedoed off the Scilly is
lands May /, with the loss of
three lives. There were three
Norwegian, two Swedish and one
Danish merchant vessel in this
number.
Establishment of the German
war zone was decreed on Feb. 4,
to take effect on Feb. Is. The
German governments decree de-
fined the war zone as including
''all the waters surrounding Great
Britain and Ireland, including the
entire English channel" although
stating specifically that shipping
north of the Shetland islands, in
the eastern area of the North sea
and in strip 80 miles wide along
The Netherlands coast would not
be imperiled The Lusitania
therefore was in the war zone
when sunk.
In the war zone decree the Ger
man government announced its in
tention ito endeayor to destroy
every enemy merchant ship found
in this area OF war" stating that
this action had been made neces-
sary by the conduct Of Great
Britain in CARRYING on "a mercan-
tile warfare against Germany in
a way that defied all the prin.
ciples OF international law"
The German admiralty is re-
ported to have sent newly con-
structed submarines of large size
and high speed for the present
campaign. Few details are avail
able as TO the specifications of
these vessels. Ii is said they are
able to carry supplies for three
enabling them to remain
out for that length of time with
ont putting into a port or hav-
ing recourse to parent ship.
The U-2s, one of the powerful
German submarines, which sank
the British steamer Falaba off st.
Georges channel March 2s with
the loss of Ill lives, was equipped
with four torpedo tubes, two "a
pound disappearing guns and two
one Founders.
The Lusitania. with her speed
Of 25 knots, probably was several
knots faster than the submarine
which sank her.
