Barre is apt to be listed among the
towns and cities where accidental shoot.
ings have been recorded unless young
sters of the north end desist from using
firearms promiscuously Last night one
youngster of perhaps Ii years was firing
at bottle as "A target when the missile
glanced and struck a building nearby
where during the daytime a number Of
men are engaged in work and where one
man was standing when the shot struck.
An investigation showed that ii was a
22.calibre bullet which the youth was
using in his sport, rather a dangerous
plaything, as he was surrounded by a
group of children watching him shoot
at the target The danger Of the prac-
tice was explained to the boy, with a
warning not TO let it occur again.
Hawaiian scenes peopled with native
Hawaiians and few that were not but
just as interesting and entertaining as
the tropical stars, were included in the
cast of my Honolulu Girl" the two-act
musical comedy staged in the Barre
opera house last evening, The Hawaiian
troup, known as the Royal kilauea
troup, treated the audience to a number
of familiar native Hawaiian melodies,
both vocally and with string instru.
ments, and the other actors caused an
abundance of laughter and merriment.
Mike Hogan, as he is known in the play,
or better still, Bud Brownie. porter of
the Plaza hotel at Honolulu, displayed
the characteristics of a natural comedian,
having a vast resource Of clever and
amusing feats. Outstanding features
were the splendid costumes and fine
electrical effects. The reproduction with
electric lights and scenery of the vol
canic eruption of the Kilauea lava foun.
tain is worthy Of praise,
A, G. Paquet, the Summer street
blacksmith who several weeks ago ap.
piled to the city council for permission
to erect garage on Summer street, is
now preparing specifications with Con.
tractor w, j. Swan Of ST. Johnshury for
a garage TO be one story high, l40 feet
long and so feet wide. This is to be a
fire proof structure and will be erected
in place of the tenement house now
standing on the corner OF Merchant and
Summer streets near Mr. Paquet's black
smith shop. Two large entrances are to
be made on the Summer street side, in
stead OF at the corner of the building,
as was at first suggested but rejected by
the councimen. Work Of surveying the
grounds was begun this morning by + A.
Walker Of this city, and within a day or
so Mr.. Paquet plans TO see the two-tene.
ment house being moved from the ga
rage site. One other contractor, Il. Nor
ton of Berlin, Conn, is expected here to
figure on this job, which will be started
as soon as possible.
