\ most terrible accident occurred at
the junction of the Gold Brook and main
roads, near the cheese factory, on We'd
nesdav afternoon of last week, more
frightful in its results than anything that
had ever before taken place in town. Mr..
and Mrs. Jesse Town, accompanied by
Mrs. StockwelI, Mr.. Towns sister, all
feeble in health and well advanced i'll
years, were riding around the Hollow
road, in the vicinity of the cheese facto-
nv, when their horse took fright and as
sumed an unnatural speed, though not
apparently attempting to run away. One
of the ladies' hats blew off, and little
girl was sent to carry it TO her. but soon
came back and reported that they were
all in the road at the turn, about 40 rods
distance. Parties Immediately went tC
the scene and found them at the side o.
the road, all bruised, bleeding, and in i
senseless condition. We are told that
Mrs. Stockwell for an instant was able
to tell who had the key to the house, bu
was unable to tell anything further only
/, that she was assisting Mr.. Town to hole
the horse. Medical assistance was i'm
mediately summoned, but every effort
; failed to bring them to. An ambulance
/ consisting; of u 5tIuubPr wagon well sup
=; piled with beds, pillows and shades wa!
l soon provided, and the three, to all APP
pearance liteless forms, were gently lalC
upon them and borne to their home, whel
physician, nurse and neighbOr WED with
each other in doing what could be done
to preserve life in this very unfortunate
accident. Mrs. Town fingered unit
about 10 o'clock that night in an uncon
e sclous state, when she passed away. Mr.
i Town on Sunday and Monday had re
vived sufficiently to be able to take lit
!. tie nourishment, and answer, by nodding
some brief questions, and at this writin!
his friends entertain some hope that h'
may recover. Mrs. Stockwell seemed tt
be more bruised, but less injured, tha
either Mr.. or Mrs. Town, and has been
after a few hours, able to realize wha
n was going on around her. As no on
# saw the occurrence, except those i'll tn
carriage, it is not known just how tn
accident occurred, and it will meyer b.
= known unless Mr.. Town or Mrs. Stock
= we'll will hereafter be able to tell NOR
u about it. Mrs. Stockwell is past 70 years
