Nichols to go with them coon hunt- The party went direct to Co- lumbia, where the automoblle was parked at the side of the road some distance beyond Columbia dam. The party then entered the woods and in 15_minutes a coon was treed. Nichols told the men what to do and got his dogs in readiness while he climbed the tree. He placed the safe- ty on the gun and left it standing by the tree. His intention was when he went up in the tree to shoot the coon with a revolver. Just before he was able to do this the animal jumped to the ground. The coon got a start and ran, with the dogs and party in pur- suit. The chase lasted about two hun- dred yards,.when the dogs caught up with the animal. Bogue became ex- cited and took the gun by the barrel and began to strike at the coon and after several blows, most of which misséd the coon and hit the .ground, the gun was discharged, the charge en- tering the thigh under the bone mak- ing a hole about the size of a silver dollar, coming out of the back of the thigh the flesh was torn out about four inches. The men cut two poles and stretch- ed their coats across them and placing Bogue on it carried him about a mile through the woods to the automobile. A quick run was' made to the city hos- pital, Hartford, where Bogue receiyed treatment. At the hospital the physi- cian stated that it would not be known for three or four days whether the leg would:- have to be amputated or not, Nichols came home from Hartford with the coon, which was carried with the party to Hartford. The coon weighed 19 pounds. FIRE CHIEF GERRICK DEAD: Had Been in Impaired Health for Two Years. Frederick William Gerrick died at his home, No. 126 North street, Mon- day morning, at 6.30 o'clock.
