Mrs. Fred Hubbard, whose maiden
name was Grace Lang, daughter of
Sherburne Lang, and wife of Fred
Hubbard, living on the Charles Hub
bard place on the Wheelock road,
shot herself through the heart Thurs
day afternoon. She had been in poor
health for years, has had several OPP
erations and was a great sufferer,
which probably led to this regrettable
act.
Irene Gaudette was seriously in
jured in a sliding accident on High
street Thursday evening last. With
three other children she was on a
bob sled and when they met a team
coming up the hill the rear sled
slowed around, throwing Irene and
Wallace Brown under the sleigh.
The Brown boys injuries were slight,
but the girls head was so badly cut
it was feared her eye was destroyed.
This is not true, but the greatest dan
ger at present is from the conclusion
of the brain. With this injury, Mrs
Hubbard's suicide and the accident to
Rupert Menut at Lyndon, the week S
casualties seem to be fateful enough.
DR.. c. C. Waller is in New York
where he went to perform clinic in
the laboratory of DR.. Lewis Gregory
Cole, a well-knOWn physician, on the
