Hearing Postponed In Shooting Case

Hearing Postponed In Shooting Case.
Island Pond, Dec. 1-Char1es Sha-
mon who was arrested here Nov. IS
as the one who fired the shot that
killed Archie Riggie in a brawl here
on the night of Nov. 8, was allowed
a postponement of the hearing of the
case owing to the enforced absence Of
his counsel.
The preliminary hearing which was
to have been held Tuesday before
Judge Lund of Canaan, was set for
ward to Thursday, Dec. z. Shannon
was admitted to bair earlier in the
week to the amount of $500.
This released him from the custody
of an officer in whose charge he was
placed as he has not been confined
within the county Jail.
The case is looked upon as more or
less Of an accidental nature as the
dead boy was not involved in the trou-
BILE and happened into the house at
the same time the revolver was fired.
Shannon still insists according to re-
ports, that he had no intention of
shooting and only drew the gun for
effect and that the pulling Of the trig-
ger was accidental.

Hampton, May 30.-"Have the Jap
anese as nation any hostile inten-
lions against the United States 2" This
query is frequently met with. Natural
ly when Mr. w. L. Robinson was trav-
cling in the orient few months ago
he sought to learn the opinion Of many
in q position to know the temper or
the little brown men on that question.
Many American and European mer-
chants and bankers We're consulted,
and the consensus Of opinion seemed
to be that but two things stood IN the
way of an offensive movement, name
ly:: That they feared the effect 1t would
have upon christian Europe, and they
are not yet sure they are entirely able
to make, a successful war upon the
United States. If these conclusions are
correct there is little doubt OF the
wish to be our open enemies, and It's
matter Of policy whether or not to
start something" Another argument
