The following are excerpts from the Carleton Sentinel 1882

March 11, 1882 – .... It appears that the Queen had arrived by train at the Windsor station and just entered her carriage, when a wretched looking creature, who gave his name afterwards as MacLean, fired at her a shot from a revolver, which does not appear to have even struck the carriage; the bullet being found on the ground near by.

Her Majesty seems to have been but little moved by the circumstance, which she took more cooly than any of the large crowd that was present at the time. MacLean was taken before the Magistrate and remanded for a week. It is said he was insane, or at all events had been more than once an inmate of a lunatic asylum. ....

In the death of Samuel Baker, Woodstock has lost a good and worthy citizen, and a clever workman. After a long illness his death occurred on Monday afternoon last. For several weeks he had been confined to the house and little hope was held out for his recovery.
He was born in Woodstock; the son of Elisha Baker, who many years ago conducted a brick kiln. His trade was that of a carriage builder, at which he was an expert. In fact he was an ingenious worker in wood, two chairs in the Oddfellows' lodge room bear testimony to his handwork. It will be remembered, too, how energetically he worked at the Jubilee Arch on Main Street three years ago. At one time he was in the grocery business with Robert Stephenson, and again in the carriage business with his brother Richard. The last year or two he conducted a shop on Court street, and made a specialty of refrigerators, which he built to give the utmost satisfaction.
He was twice married. His first wife Miss Lamsphear of Wisconsin died in 1891. She left one son, George, who has been in attendance on his father all through his trying illness. In April 1893, Mr. Baker was a member of the Free Baptist church. He did not belong to any secret society. The funeral was on Wednesday afternoon, the following being the pall-bearers. Lt. Col. Vince, John McLauchan, W. W. Hay, and Robt. Stephenson. Rev. J. W. Clarke officiated, assisted by Rev. Mr. Thomas. A large number of friends followed the remains to the cemetery.

There was quite a sensation in Woodstock in a quiet sort of a way the early days of last week. On Saturday the 8th there arrived at the Carlisle, a young man, well dressed and apparently well-to-do, who registered as Harry F. Bradley, Boston. He appears to have had some acquaintances in town.
On Monday Chief of Police Harvey received a telegram from a Mr. Horne then at Caribou, who ordered the marshall to arrest young Bradley, who had committed a forgery. It was nearly evening when the marshall got the letter, and upon making inquiries he found that the young man had left on the afternoon express for Montreal. In the meantime Mr. Horne arrived in Woodstock. The chief, acting under his direction, wired to McAdam and Policeman Gardiner, there, arrested the youth and brought him back on the night train.

Our nimrods are on the move; most of whom have taken to the bush. The open season found them in readiness to beard the moose and caribou in their native retreats. At the open season J W Cheney and Dr. H. A. Green, shouldered their trusty rifles and started for the Miramichi waters. Once there Joe put himself under the direction of a sportsman who educated him into the mysteries of calling moose. In this branch, having finished his education Joe began to toot and the doctor navigated the canoe. Having located near the shore and in the stillness of the night, the calling was so much like that of a moose, one big fellow soon came to the waters edge, and there while looking for the source of the sound these nimrods ruthlessly did shoot and kill, by opening his juglar vein at the first shot.
On Thursday they left; on Saturday the beast was slain, the meat of which weighed 400 pounds, and all the citizens of this villlage have reason to thank Joe and the doctor for kind rememberance of moose steak.

The peaceful serenity of that most quiet of hotels, the Clifton House, was rudely disturbed through the night by a young women who went there Tuesday evening and engaged a room. She registered as Mary D. Estabrooks and being of excellent appearance the clerk assigned her to a room. Sometime afterwards she asked the clerk to summon Dr. Steeves to see her.
The doctor was telephoned for, and it did not take him long to discover the woman was on the verge of insanity, particularly as he recognized her as a former inmate of the Asylum. He informed Miss Peters of the fact, but said the woman would probably be all right until morning. But about midnight or soon after the insanity became alarmingly manifest. She shrieked and pounded on the door of her room, and needless to say aroused everyone in the house. So violent did she become that policemen were summoned, and the girl was taken to the police station. She belongs to Carleton County, and has been in the Asylum before. She was examined this morning by Dr. D. E. Berryman and Dr. Steeves and sent to the Asylum again.-St. John Globe.
