While cutting wood back of Cobbls

an axe into the top of bis foot, making
Q cut an inch and half long, which
required several stitches to close, and
will keep the foot out Of commission for
q while.
At Billings mill Thursday, Hiram
Thurlow rolled log on bis foot, dsmsg-
ing some of the bones, 80 that 1t is likely
to be some time before he again has the
full use of his foot.
Perry Chapman has been carrying one

nesday forenoon, while at work with
Raymond Shaw cutting wood on the
North farm south OF the village. The
double bitted axe which he was using
struck an overhead limb, turning 1t 80
that IL went into the foot. The big toe
was nearly severed, and q long curling
cut was made in the main part Of the
foot. After an unsuccessful attempt to
make q tourniquet with their leather
belts to stop the bleeding, Mr.. Shaw
finally rugged one with the belt Of his
mackinaw, to hold while be could 60 to
the house, q distance Of nearly three
quarters of q mile. Fortunately F. l..
Cotton. who was hauling wood, was
there at the time, and he went after
Bean with his team. As 1t happened,
all the South Paris doctors were away
from home, and IL was necessary to go
to Norway to have the wound dressed.
Thirteen stitches were taken, Bean re-
fusing anesthetics Some Of the bones
of the foot were damaged.
Henry w. Morton bad an experience
Saturday morning which fortunately has
no outcome more serious than bad
scalp cut, though it might have been
much worse. He and his father had
been talking about establishing record
on Christmas day by running canoe
down the river, which had been open
about all the season. Saturday after
breakfast Henry started out up the SIN
dian trail" to see what the prospect was.
Subsequent events dazed him so that
from the time he reached the foot of the
hill below bis home, the next hour or
two was blank TO him, and what hap
pened could be learned only by follow.
ing his tracks. These indicate that at
the upper Sandy" which as is gsner-
ally known is q high, steep sand bank,
he slipped down the bank on the smooth
crust Of the thin coat of snow; that he
made the last part OF the slide head first,
striking and breaking piece of ice with
his head and cutting his scalp. On
reaching the river be slid about two
thirds across on the Ice, and stopped
Just at the edge of the open water Of
the channel. There was pool OF blood
about foot from the open water, and
one sleeve was vet, indicating that bis
hand went into the water. Evidently
when he was able to get up he made his
way up the bank by digging his feet In,
and went directly home. Although he
showed plainly that he was dazed, be
seemed to know what he was about. A
physician was called, who took eight
stitches In the scalp wound. As was
said above, Henry has no recollection OF
anything from the time he left home IN
I'll be found himself on the couch some
time after the wound was dressed.

Regarding the printing and distribut.

the session. A motion to- print was sup
ported By j. b. Bean, Stanley N. Wheel
/ or, DR.. D. N. Stewart, who was moder-
ator, and others, and was oppused by
A. Elroy Dean, Richard q. Gates,
Charles Edwards and others. The gen.
eral argument In favor was that the vot-
ers were entitled to the fullest knowl.
edge Of the work OF the com mission,
while the opposition was mainly on the
ground that 1t was an unnecessary ex
psnse. The motion to print was carried,

With little discussion except enough
to assure thcvoters that the appropia-
lions were necessary, the following were
made. the treasurer being instructed to

assessment for 1921:

On the matter of the highway bills,
Newton A. Cummings wanted to know
what bad become Of the other $4,000,
and where the other bills came from.
A. Elroy Dean of the board of select.
men stated that the money had been
paid out on legitimate bills. he further
said that people carried their bills in
their pockets until they got ready to
pay their taxes, so that 1t was imposssi-
BILE for the selectmen to know how much
was outstanding.

road commissioners ought to know who

A formal vote to rstify the acts of the
selectmen and town treasurer in Issuing
the bonds for the cement road was
passed, simply to make the record COM
plete.
The last article In the warrant related
10 the matter OF prohibiting persons
from driving public carriages in South
Paris village without procuring license
from the seleotmen. P. r. Ripley ex-
planned that the object Of this was to
forward the matter of transportation be-
tween here and Norway. The Central
Maine Power Co. had agreed to put on
bus line, but would not do 1t In comps-
iition. However, he did not think the
article in the warrant was worded cor
rectly to accomplish the object desired.
rhe article was finally passed over.
