Maine Sailor Drowned Hie “Troubles
To Deeply This Morning.
George S. Swift. a deck hand on the
' swift schooner’Giffon, which has been
unloading ah'cargo of lumber at the
docks of the «Hubbell, Hall and Run
dallCoapany, in Norwalk, thought the
pace of the town was not swift enough

saloon by Chief of Police Thomas
Bradley, who gate bi ms swift trip
down to the Water street police slav

GOOD DODGlNG av A‘LOON.
The artitle in this weeks paper
about the icon that was killed by at
bullet after being hit by over a hun-l
tired No. 6 shot, and was apparently}
none the worse of the shot, reminds
me of one glorious June day somel
thirty years ago. on which the writer
and a friend went fishing in White
river below Indianapolis. As We drove
several miles through forest-covered
hills, the shot- -gttu was taken along to
take can: of squirrels which might of- 1
fer convenient shots. There was a icon
on the river, the ilrst one we had ever
sen. and. of course, we just had to
have him. The loop secured to ho
about as curious about its as We were ~
about him, and swam buck and forth
in front of us at it distance of twenty-
flve to forty yards. As head. neck.
shoulders and brick were exposed, he
looked an easy shot. but he wasn’t.
instead of being killed at the first shot
he was just gone. He soon came to
the top of the water, bttt after the
first shot, showed nothing above the
water but his head anti about six in—
ches of neck
We shot at him twenty- two times at
a distance of thirty to forty yards.I,
and When my friend did the shooting 1
could plainly see that the head and
neck were gone. before the slim struck
the water. Had not some strategy
been used. it is riot likely he would
have been killed at all. While the
icon was under water by friend hid
behind a pile of drift wood, and 1,
provided with. a stick about the
length of a gun, kept in sight, acting
as though trying to gct a shot, The
icon presently swam within range of
the gun behind the drift pile. and that
time enough shot hit his head to in-
stantly kill him. The above does not
agree with what Mr. Linkletter tells
its about, the icon he. killed. but. it is
not intended to cast any doubt on his
statement. it is doubtless a fact that
his loan could not dodge shot, bttt mine
couldvForest and Stream.
