Windham county is today supporting
| six criminals within her prison walls
| for crimes rang ing all the way from
petty larceny to assault with intent to

| Frank w. Harris of this place, while
, attending a target shoot at South Yer
non Saturday morning, received an ac-
cidental shot which nearly cost him his
life. 1t seems that the firing had nom
inally ceased and Harris, unbekRown to
the party had gone into the woods be-
Yond the target to find traces of the bull
lets, when he was hit by ball fired by
one of the party. The missile struck
him at an angle near the right shout
der blade making Il wound about two
inches in length and passing through
the arm. Fortunately no bones were in
jured, but his zeal for target shooting is
| likely to be dampened for time.
The New Year opens with a brighter
prospect for Brattleboro, so far as pro-
jected building operations are concerned,
than in any year in the past. We have
heard Of some eight or ten buildings that
are pretty sure 10 20 uD as spring com
mences or the weather Will permit and
from all appearances this number NAV
be tTipled before the season closes. The
present population viii need that num-
Der and more too, for us accommodation.
There IS talk upon the streets of a new
railroad depot to cover the whole track,
of which the wall of rock on the west
would he one wall of the building A
flight of steps up in that direction
would be great accommodation for the
foot passengers to and from the depot,
for a large r0rt of the village and es
pecialS in muddy weather.
