TROUBLE FOR BOYS
SHOOTING GRAY
SQUIRRELS IN CITY

During the long months of last
winter when the snow lay deep over
all the ground about the Capital
of the residential section took con-
siderable pleasure in throwing out
crumbs and choice morsels for the
gray squirrels and birds. The win
ter was particularly difficult for
these small feathered and furred
creatures, and in many instances the
intelligent little gray squirrels
learned that certain people were
their friends and came each day for
these crumbs.
During the spring and summer
months these squirrels have re-
manned about the public park and
the commodious grounds of Augusta
estates. and in fact have often been
seen on many of our beautiful shad-
ed residential streets. Though
squirrels are of the rodent family,
those about the city have done but
little harm, if any. to gardens or
properties, and their presence has
been the occasion for considerable
favorable comment by visitors to
our city during the warm months.
in watching their frisking about the
lawns. and up and down the trees,
and in and out of the shrubbery.
They have proved themselves per-
fectly able to protect themselves
from marauding cats or dogs, and
have really been quite neighborly
little friends to many citizens of the
city.
Chief Game Warden Richard J.
Upton called the reporters attCn-
ton Tuesday to the practice which
is prevalent among the small boys
of the city of using air rifles. 1t
almost seems that these toy guns,
which are nevertheless dangerous in
StrumentS when not properly used,
appear in greater numbers as the
hunting season opens up on the first
of October. 1t is regretable that the
youngsters are shooting the gray
squirrels, which have been such in
teresting and peaceful jewellers in
our midst all summer.
Mr.. Upton calls attention to the
fact that it is unlawful to hunt,
shoot or kill gray squirrels at any
time. within all public or private
parks and within the limits of the
compact or built up portion of any
city or village" Furthermore there
is a strict law against the use or pos
session of air rifles by children I'M
der fourteen years of age, and this
law also makes it illegal for any per-
son to sell or give such guns to chill
dren under fourteen.
Undoubtedly q word from the par
ents and teachers in this matter will
be sufficient. and it is necessary that
the matter be called to their atten-
ton, as Warden Upton will other
wise enforce the game laws applica-
BILE. to the letter.

| Authorities May
Drop Probe Into
| Death of Mrs. Webb

White Plains, N. Y, Oct.2-Some
evidence of poison was discovered
by chemical analysis in the body Of
Mrs Charles Webb. wealthy society
woman, who died last Tuesday I'M
der allegedly mysterious circuM-
stances, bue unless something fur
ther is found the case will be drop
ped, Coroner Fitzgerald stated to-
night.
The report of DR.. A. o. Goettler,
Bellevue hospital toxicologist, has
not yet been completed, but present
indications art that although poison
was present in the body. 1t was not
found in sufficient quantities to
have caused death.
While the investigation was pro-
ceeding here before the grand Jury,
a fight was started in New York by
relatives of the dead woman who
will test the legality of the ten line
will which left her entire estate 10
her husband. Another will, said 10
supercede the one in faovr of Mr..
Webb. was left unsigned by her due
to her illness. BY this document
several relatives were to have re-
ceived shares in the estate, which is
valued at between $2,OO0.000 and
$3.000.0O0. and a monument was to
be erected in the dead woman's hon.
or.
Doctor William J. Meyer, who at
tended Mrs. Webb during her last
illness and was mainly responsib
for the investigation of her death,
was taken before the grand jury to-
day. His information failed to inl-
press the authorities.
Mr.. Webb. on the advice Of
friends, today made a statement in
New York concerning the circum-
stances of his wifes death. He said
that although he had no reason to
believe she had died from any but
natural causes, he would welcome
any investigation to clear up the
case. He also declared that despi, g
the fact that Mrs. Webb's last w,s!
was unsigned and therefore not val
id, he would abide by the wishes ex-
pressed in it. as he believed she
would have wanted him to do.
