Funeral at the house, Saturday. Jewett BOYNTON met with what might have been a serious "axident," last Monday, while chopping in the John MARSHALL woods, on the hill. His axe caught on a limb over his head, turning it in such a manner as to strike the head of the axe on the back part of his head, making two ugly gashes and causing the blood to run freely. Dr. EDDY was called to dress the wound, and Jewett is now doing well, but thinks he won't chop any more for two or three weeks.

Charles Hawkins Wounds Fred Dumas and a Italian Who Were Caring for Him, Was Suffering With Delirium Tremens, Neither Will Die, Hawkins Arrested While suffering from delirium tremens, Charles Hawkins shot two men at his home on Sugar Hill, East Wallingford late Wednesday night, one of them being seriously wounded. Hawkins was arrested by Constable Calvin L. Higgins and brought to the county jail early Thursday morning. He is held in $2000 bail on the charge of assault with intent to kill and murder. Hawkins came home Wednesday evening suffering from an attack of delirium tremens. His wife was frightened and went to the home of her father, Joseph Dumas, for assistance. Her brother, Fred Dumas and an Italian who worked for the elder Dumas, returned with her, intending to stay all night. Soon after their arrival Hawkins drank the entire contents of a bottle of medicine which a physician had given him to quiet his nerves. This made him sick and about midnight he worked himself into a terrible rage. He ordered the two men to leave his house and when they did not go he seized a double-barrel shotgun and fired at Dumas, the only shot which took effect striking him back of the ear. Hawkins then fired the other barrel at the Italian, the charge striking him in the thigh and back, making an ugly wound.. Immediately after the shooting the men left the house, young Dumas, who was not badly wounded, assisting the Italian to the elder Dumas' house. When the trouble began Mrs. Hawkins ran to the home of Charles Stewart, a distance of three-quarters of a mile, clad only in her night clothes and without any protection for her feet. Joseph Dumas drove to Wallingford and notified Constable Higgins and also summoned Drs. G.G.Marshall and W.E. Stewart, who cared for the wounded men. The officer, accompanied by two men, arrived at the Hawkins' house between 3 and 4 o'clock Thursday morning and arrested the man. They brought him to this city, arriving here at 6 o'clock. Hawkins was arraigned later before Justice W. K. Farnsworth at the house of correction on the charge of assault with intent to kill and murder. He pleaded not guilty and the hearing was continued until Monday afternoon at 1:30 o'clock. Bail was fixed at $2000, which he could not furnish. He was in bad condition Thursday and was seeing all sorts of things. State's Attorney Lawrence is prosecuting the case. The physicians removed several No. 2 shot from the Italian thigh Thursday. One shot which penetrated the man's back my cause serious trouble. Transcribed by, Joan H. Bixby
