| Summary: |
Warden Lyman Hill and Deputy Warden Niles were shot and killed while attempting to arrest two poachers near Fletcher's Brook. Deputy Warden Niles and Warden Hill had been tracking the poachers, who had been using dogs to run deer, for about ten days. When they finally approached the men, an argument broke out. As Deputy Warden Niles took off his coat in order to take hold of the poachers' dog, one of the poachers pulled out a double-barrel shotgun and opened fire. Deputy Warden Niles and Warden Hill were both killed instantly.
The poachers escaped after the incident, but a posse was formed to find and arrest them.
