NO SUSPICION OF FOUL Play
Accident Happened in Salisbury
and Authorities Permitted Re-
moval of Remains.

King Pratt, a small farmer living
in what is known as the Niger Hin
district between White Creek and
Cambridge, was accidentally killed
early Saturday evening near the
home of Alfred Philpott in the town
of SALISBURY,
Judging from appearances the man
met his death from a fall from his
wagon. One report was that his head
went through the spokes of one OF
the wheels and that his neck was
broken and his skull fractured.
1t was presumed that the unfortu-
nate man was on his way home after
trip into the town OF SALISBURY
for the purpose of peddling potatoes.
As the accident happened in Shafts
bury it was investigated by the
authorities of that town. Selectman
R. r. Tinkham was summoned and
as it was evident that Pratt's death
was purely accidental, permission
was granted to take the remains to
the rooms Of a Cambridge undertake
e..
Pratt was about as years old and
leayes a wife and two sons.

CARTON beginners; Mis- Mclean, cook
ing; Mr.. aulin, mechanical drawing
and Mr. Mabrey, arithmetic and Ger
man.
Despite the large number already
registered the classes will probably
be enlarged by registrations during
quarters that the school board have
made mistake in limiting registra-
tions to Saturday night of this week
only for there are many who will re-
gret they did not enroll after the
weather becomes colder and there is
more incentive to spend the evenings
indoors. For this reason the faculty
urge as many as have not yet decid-
ed to enroll, to report this week.
Saturday evening the registrations
for the classes stood as follows: Sew
ing for beginners, II; advanced sew
ing, 10; reading for beginners, j.;
advanced reading, A. arithmetic, 12;
cooking a. bookkeeping, 2; type
writing, A; mechanical drawing, 8;

Because Of the small number enroll
ed, some of the classes will be COM
bined and none should hesitate about
joining any class because of the limit
ed number.

O'Clock and the program for the week
will be as follows
