Death of Indian Nicholas
On CarlOW's Bridge. EastpOrt

The Public Utilities Commission
has rendered decision in the matter
of the death of Willis Nicholas Of st.
Andrews, N. B., aged about IS, who
was struck and instantly killed at
7.46 P. M. Dec. 81 at Carlow's Island
draw bridge, near Eastport.
, Mr.. Nicholas was a member of the
Passamaquoddy Tribe of Indians and
although usually resident of st.
Andrews, lived part of each year at
| the Indian village at Pleasant Point.
Maine Central train No. 400 was ap-
preaching the bridge at about Is
miles an hour, in snow and sleet.
, Just as the engine was on the bridge
| trestle, the fireman saw an object on
the track, few feet ahead. The
train was quickly stopped and Mich
olas' body found wedged between the
pilot and rail, so that train had to be
backed to release the body. Mr..
Nicholas had apparently been lying
on the rails and evidently did not see
or hear the train. He was tres
passer on the railroad track and his
| death resulted from his own care
| lessness and wrongful act in travel
ing upon the railroad track where he
had no right to be and in not giving
proper attention to the possibility of
Ibeing struck by passing train. The
decision continues:
"The evidence shows that the peo-
pie of Pleasant Point are accustomed
to trespass upon the railroad track in
l {ar M 4
a thoroughfare to some extent in
travelling between Pleasant Point and
Eastport. These people have been
warned many times against this
practice and warning signs are
placed near the bridge and at other
points along the track, but up to this
time it has been impossible to entire
ly overcome this practice. We dc
not know whether it is possible to
adopt any measures in addition to
what has already been done to put an
end to this dangerous practice but we
desire to call the attention of the
railroad to this matter to the end
that the company may adopt such
further precautions, if any are posi-
BILE, as will tend to abolish or at least
lessen this danger. It also appears
that there are at present no whistling
posts either east or west of Pleasant
Point station, and although this fact
!, probably made no difference in this
accident that we are now consider
ing, We suggest that the company
i take into consideration the advisa-
bility of installing such whistling
posts for the approach Of this station
3! in both directions"

FLEES AT PISTOL SHOT

4 pistol shot fired at 2:3O o'clock
this morning by Richard Gibson
from his residence in Rosemont.
caused an automobile thief to jump
from his machine and beat a hasty
retreat. Mr.. Gibson was unable to
say whether the man was white or
coioreu.
The door Of the garage was un.
locked and the automobile thief
simply walked into the garage ant:
picked out Mr.. Gibson's machine
and started the engine running. The
noise Of the engine aroused Mr..
Gibson from his slumbers. He hast
ily went to the window armed with
MS rrusty pistol and there saw the
thief struggling with his machine to
cer its run, the robber having gotten
it out of the garage.
The thief, however. had failed to
reckon that the steering gear OF the
machine was locked.
One pistol shot fired in the air
by air. Gibson resulted in an unus-
uallv hasty retreat by the would be
thief. Mr.. Gibson came down stars
after dressing and placed his ma
chine back in the garage. In the
future this thief will doubtless give
Mr.. Gibson's garage wide berth.
