four ounces of iodine. Her husband
found her shortly after her taking the

help He was advised there to ad-
minister an emetic of laundry starch
but his best efforts to get his wife to
drink the saving potion were in vain.
Dr. p L. Dorey of Middlebury who
answered the summons Immediately
was more successful and succeeded in
saving her life. Although she is now
very sick, her attempt to take her life
has been frustrated.

FORMER LOCAL BOY
ACCIDENTALLY SHOT
Waldo BruneIle Victim of Stray OF
Reflected Bullet

Succumbing to an accidental bullet
wound inflicted perhaps by the rifle of
a chum, Waldo Brunette of Rutland,
formerly of Middlebury died in the
Rutland hospital Tuesday morning.
He was injured Saturday afternoon at
a camp in Mendon. A companion was
firing a % calibre rifle at a tree when
it is thought that the bullet rebounded
and entered the left side of Brunelle's
head. First aid was rendered on the
spot and the young man rushed to the
hospital He did not rally from the
wound however.
Waldo Brunelle was Is years of age
and employed on the Rutland Herald
as linotype operator. He was the son
of Mr.. and Mrs Cyril Brunelle. He
was born in Middlebury but went to
Rutland with his parents several years
ago. He attended the st. Peters and
High schools. -Four years ago he be-
gan an apprenticeship with the Herald
in the composing room and but recent
ly became a full fledged linotypist, He
was one of the well known young men
Of the city.
Besides his parents, he is survived
by two sisters, Misses Gladys and
Ruth Brunelle, two brothers, Arthur
and Raymond Brunette of Rutland and
his grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph
Shorkey of Cornwall
The funeral services we're held this
morning at O'Clock at St Peters
church Burial was made in Calvary
cemetery.
Another theory to solve his myster-
ious injury is that stray bullet from
the rifle of other hunters than his
chum's caused his death 1t is thought
unlikely that since he was standing at
right angles from the target of his
companions he fell with their bullet.
