DIES OF HIS WOUND
WiIIiamstown Boy Accidentally Shot
at Rifle Practice.

Norman Charles Bates, the VIII
Jamestown boy who was accidentally
shot Tuesday afternoon, died Thurs.
day morning at the North Adams hos
pital where he was taken Immediate
ly after the accident. From the very
first his injuries were regarded as
most dangerous and although his ply
sicians took every measure TO save
his life. they feared from the begin
ming that he could not recover. 1t
developed since the accident that the
boy did not shoot himself as was at
first supposed to be the case, but
that he was shot by companion,
William Sprague, who was playing
with him in a meadow near his home.
Sprague had the rifle and believed
that all the cartridges had been dis.
charged. There was one still left in
the rifle. Sprague pulled the trigger
and shot the Bates boy. After the ac.
cident Sprague ran the whole length
of Cole avenue before he could get
help. Consequently the Bates boy
was without assistance for long
time and bled profusely in the mean
time. The bullet had passed com
pletely through the body. 1t entered
at point just below the heart, and
piercing the lung and spleen, rup.
tured several important blood yes
sells and finally emerged through
the back. His companion was great
ly frightened at the accident and told
members of his family at first that
the Bates boy had shot himself

George William Moore. one of the
leaders OF the municipal ownership
forces. is thoroughly opposed to a
ratification by the people of the
street railway commissions newest
plan for the purchase OF the d. L. r..
lines. Moreover, he declares his at
titude is the attitude OF the original
municipaly ownership advocates. and
his belief that the plan will receive
meriied defeat.
The street railway commission
says Mr. Moore. has spent $4,000
OF our money and secured an APP
praisal from which II has fixed a val
uation OF s23.6s5.000 on the property
of the u. L. R. The commission can
not consistently go before the cir
cult judges and ask them to Ak a
lower valuation. In my Judgment
the commission has fixed the price
of the property. | do rot believe
the judges would make another APP

they would say, The commission has
