WORKER BROWNS
IN MILL CANAL

Hubert Perry, aged 20 years, of 81
Patterson street, was drowned in the
canal of the Cushnoc Paper Co.. mill
at about 1915 last night. Perry,
who. works on the day shift at the
slip was, in company with Merl Ell
lis, going along the river side of the
number one canal towards the slip
Perry was in advance, and in the
darkness called back to Ellis to
watch out for the places where the
concrete wall of the canal recesses.
In some manner Perry misjudged his
location and fell into the water
Young Perry was good swimmer
but in the strong undertow, he was
carried under. Ellis at once gave
the alarm and a crew of men endeav-
ored to locate Perry. The gates were
opened to drain the canal as quickly
as possible. Jerry Carey and Ed
ward Cloutier, working on the raft
with graphing hooks, succeeded in
recovering the body about half hour
after the accident. An effort was
made to resuscitate Perry but with

Officer Charles Haskell, on duty
at the night desk first received word
from the mill officials. Through the
agency of the police signal system,
Deputy Marshall Corbet was located
on Water street and went to the
scene of the accident to direct the
operations.
He was the son of Mr.. and Mrs.
John F. Perry of Norfolk. Va, and
had been employed at the Cusonoc
plant since last fall. An older
brother Harold Perry is time keeper
at the plant, and was particularly
s2ddenc' by the drowning, as it was
through him that young Hubert came
here to work.

Sunday, DAY OF Battles.

Sunday has always been a favorite
day for battles. History abounds with
battles fought on this day, but just
take note Of the more prominent vic
tories. Families was fought on Sun

1909; Vienna, August 81, 1908; Orthes.
February n, 1914, and Toulouse on
April 10. 1814-all Sundays, the latter
being fought on an Easter Sunday.
Perhaps the greatest and most deci-
sive battle ever fought on a Sunday
was the famous victory Of Britain at
Waterloo on June 1S, 1915, when Ma
poleon's power was broken up forever.
Ferozeshah was won on a Sabbath
day Rangoon was stormed and Pegu'
