John Bawden, one of Ely's oldest
settlers, died at the ShipmaH Hos
pital Wednesday morning, aged II
wears. Mr.. Bawden was injured a
short time ago and while his injuries
were not considered very serious,
his system had received a shock
which at, his age was bound to have
serious results. He has for years
been a sufferer with asthma and at
times was very bad. Wednesday
morning the nurse took him up his
breakfast, Mr.. Bawden feeling eX-
cellent at that time. About Is min
utes later when going to clear away
the dishes, the nurse found him
lying on the floor, dead, he having
suffocated in an asthmatic paroXlsm.
Sunday while Louis Eisenach and
Chas. Grabowsky were at Mud Lake
in quest of ducks, they were shot
at three, times by two men who
were across the lake. That they
had good guns is attested by the
fact that Mr.. Eisenach has a hole in
his sweater where one of the bull
lets had struck. 1t was evidently a
case of. mistaken identity, the hunt
ers across the lake taking the men
for moose. The woods are full of
hunters who shoot promisciously at
everything that moves. 1t is Won
der that more people are not shot.
