injuries could not be stated.
That the shooting was accidental

statement made by young Croweu.
VINO hves in old Fort Western, he was
at the Cottingham house, the two boys
being together in one Of the rooms:
that he took the revolver. which was
OF .3S calibre and of the pattern known
as bulldog" from a drawer: that
young Cottingham was standing bach
10 MIN at the time. and that he. NOT
knowing that there was a cartridge IN
the revolver, pulled the trigger and
the revolver was discharged. :.
Inc bullet struck young ,Cottinghasn
IN the back and in the region of the

A meeting of the men of the central
fire companies and representatives from
the Chamber of Commerce was held at
the fire station Thursday night to discuss
the question of having an exhibition run
by the fire department during the Shop
Early Week. The matter was discussed
at some length, the members of the COM
panies and Chief Berry setting forth the
fremen's side of the matter and the two
men from the Chamber of Commerce the
side of the merchants Chief Berry took
the stand that the present hook and lad
der truck was unsafe and while the men
would go on it to a fire they objected to
going on an exhibition run. Capt. S. L.
Berry of Hose /, Capt. James Coombs Of
Hose and Capt. Peter King Of the hook
all stated their objections. and while
nothing was settled the chances for an
exhibition by the department are very
small.

WATERFORD man ARRESTED ON
The CHARGE OF NUMBERING HIS
DAUCHTER-T0 Be TRIED DEC. Is

Mr.. Bean was taken directly to the coun-
ty jail, where he spent the night.
1t is understood that Inez Bean died
about 1890 o'clock Wednesday afternoon
She ate her dinner Wednesday as usual
at noon. So far as can be learned. Mrs.
Bean and two younger children were gu,
in the field on the farm at the time 0.
the girls death. Mrs. Bean was at home
last night when the officers called. 1t Il
also understood that the girl was in a
delicate condition. The first known OF
her illness was when a telephone cal
came to DR.. Bartlett, medical examiner
of this county. The girls father. Mr.
Bean. asked DR.. Bartlett to come to at
tend his daughter, saying that she was
very ill. When DR.. Bartlett arrived the
girl was dead and in his opinion the girls
death was very sudden.
"She died all in a minute" is the
way the girls death is described by
one of the officers who is investigating
the case.
Everyone is reticent as to the cause
Of the girls death. DR.. Bartlett, the
medical examiner, naturally prefers
not to discuss the case until it comes
before the court. So far as can be
learned the girls death was the result
Of alleged illegal surgery.
On the way over to South Paris, Mr.
Bean appeared calm and talked of cas-
ual things. He answered questions
about his daughter quite frankly
Asked If Inez had any fellow" he
said no, not that he knew of. 1t Is un-
derstood that Mr.. Bean talked with
the greatest frankness to DR.. Bart
lett, and what he said will not be
known until the hearing.
Inez Bean was about IS years OF
age, and was well liked and is de-
scribed as being pretty. The family
are we'll thought of in the place ano
lived in what is known as the McIn-
tire neighborhood. having moved from
East Waterford, two or three years
ago.
