Tuo Fatalities at
Alice Bacon Shot by Her Brother and Carl Taylor
Killed by Being Pinned Under a Load
ot Logs The Two Families
Nearly Crazed with Grief.
By Telephone to the Caledonian.
Danville is in mourning today over the
sad accidents of yesterday afternoon
which, strangely enough, happened al
most at the same time. At about 2
o'clock in the afternoon Asa. the 16-year-old
son of John Bacon of Harvey's
Hollow, took down a 22-caliber rifle and
began to examine it, not knowing it
was loaded. In handling the deadly
weapon the ball was discharged and
entered the abdomen of his 9-year-old
sister, Alice, .who was standing near.
Medical help was summoned as soon as
possible and three doctors began early in
the evening to probe for the ball, know
ing that the only chance of saving the
girl's life was to locate and remove the
ball. But the little girl died in the
operation about 7 o'clock last night.
The family are nearly crazed with grief
over this distressing accident.
At about the same time yesterday
afternoon Carl, the 9-year-old son of
Leslie Taylor, of Morse's Mills, was in
stantly killed by being pinned under a
heavy load of logs. He was riding with
an older brother and in some manner
the load upset, burying the little fellow
beneath it and crushing out his life. The
older brother escaped without any
injury.
Much sympathy is extended to both
families in their great sorrow and the
sudden ending of two promising young
lives.
Arts and Crafts Exhibit.
The exhibition of arts and crafts, held
in connection with the annual meeting
of the Vermont State Federation of
Women's Clubs at Windsor last October,
proved so successful that the committee
feel encouraged to continue the work
another year. The second exhibition of
arts and crafts and industrial work in
schools will, therefore, be held in connec
tion with the next annual meeting of the
Fed eration in Brattleboro October 7 and
8, 1908. The object of the exhibition ii
to create an interest in this movement
and to encourage natural talent in the
clubs. Among the work that is desired
is original design in basketry, metal
work, weaving, bead work, embroidery,
lace work, water color or oil painting,
photography and wood work. The arts
and cralts committee, Mrs.J.U. Barrows
of Brattleboro, chairman, will be glad to
learn from any one as early as convenient
who can send contributions to this ex
hibit through their club and whether the
articles will be for sale or loaned. A
commission of ten per cent is deducted
from the selling price to assist in meeting
expenses. This matter is brought before
the clubs thus early as some clubs do not
hold meetings during the summer
months.
Bostonia Sextette.
A very enjoyable concert was given by
the Bostonia Sextette Club and Melva
Clemaire, soprano, at Music Hall, Fri
day evening. Although the personnel of
the club has undergone several changes
the ensemble was excellent, and especial
ly in the string quintette's delicately
shaded and artistic renditions. Mr.
Moulton in his violin solo played with
an ease and finish most commendable,
and drew a beautiful pure tone from his
instrument. Carl Stockbridge, son of
the late A. B. Stockbridge, so well re
membered here as 'cellist, lavished on his
hearers a wealth of musical expression
and finished phrasing in his 'cello solos.
Mr. Staats played the clarinet solo with
his customary fluency. Mme. Melva
Clemaire was well received in her
soprano solos, and her singing was
brilliant and pleasing. Most excellent
accompaniments were furnished by the
club. They were subdued, but precise
and sympathetic.
Opening: of Brightlook Hospital.

look Hospital will occur on Saturday

every way.
