MAY PROVE FATAL.
MIR. AND MRS. ABE. MANN, Thrown
FROM THEIR CARRIAGEIN A
RUNAWAY,

Abe Mann, we'll known resident O
this city very near lost his life yester
day afternoon while out driving will
his wife. Mr.. and Mrs. Mann were
driving on East Hill Yesterday Afternoon
and as they got little distance from the
house of Louis X. Averill, their hors,
became frightened and ran.
The horse made a frantic dash III,
the steep bank at the right, throwing
both occupants to the ground and sever.
ely injuring them The horse contin-
ued on its wild run into the woods until
1t come in contact with barb wire
fence. Will. Clapp, who lived near by
hltched up his team and carried Mr.. and
Mrs Mann to their home
DrS. Stickney and Bralcy were imme
diately communicated with and when
they arrived Mr. Mann was unconscious
and in very precarious condition. No
bones were broken, neither were there
any bruises on him, but it is thought
that he is internally injured, sill the
physlclons think the shock of the acct
dent did more to accelerate matters
than the injuries he sustained. DR..
Stickney called at the house twice last
evening and at three o'clock he rallied
slightly.
Mrs. Mann was more fortunate. The
lower part Of her elbow was fractured
and she received number of slight
bruises.
To-day MIR Mann is slightly i'm, 70 J.
ed. lie was able to dress himself and
be o, around the house. 1t is''now thought
mat ne is out of danger and will cone
out all right.

Windsor County Court.

Court was to have resumed the business
OF the session on Tuesday, the list, but on
account of the severe storm there was a
| failure to connect. Some OF the necessary
attendants, including the presiding Judge,
were ''in port" at White River Junction.
Several jurors were "stalled" at other
points along the lire between their respec-
tive homes and the county seat.
Judge Tyler reached Woodstock Wednes-
day forenoon, and at The going in OF court
it was found that only Gig hteen jurors had
arrived. A recess was taken until the next
morning, and the case of State VS.. William
w. Lawrence, for shooting Judge Seayer
with intent to kill and murder him, was
called. Some two dozen or more jurymen
were examined and when a recess was
taken for the day, eleven jurors had been
secured. But there still remained four
perem ptory challenges on each side, and a
special venire was issued for more jurors.
Most of these responded promptly to the
call, and enough were present Friday
morning to complete the panel. About
10 80 a. m. both sides announced them
constituted. The remainder of the spe
cially summoned jurors were then dis
charged and the oath was administered to
the twelve men selected.
During the empanelling of the jury
Flank Plumley was assisted by g. A. Da'
Wis. VINO lDen retired, anu the FORMER -
conducting the defence alone. States At
torney j. G.Harvey is assisted in the pros
ecution by l.. NJ. Read OF Rockingham.
The indictment was read to the jurors and
after an opening statement by the states
attorney the examination Of witnesses was
begun.
When the court took the usual recess On
Saturday, several state witnesses had
been examined, including Judge Seaver
himself, whose direct examination was
finished. The cross-examination was not
concluded. On Monday the case WIS re-
sumed with the continued cross examina-
tion OF Seayer by Mr.. Plumley.
II is not best TO print half the case and
in our next issue We shall give resume
OF the evidence and the trial.
Following is a list OF the jury:
Ira A. Belknap, Cayendish, farmer;
Frank Il. Studeley, Weston, mechanic;
Romano X. Taylor, Weston, iobber; Cal
vim p. Edred, Andover, farmer; Henry l..

"Ancient and Modern Highways" is the
subject OF careful and valuable study by
Charles Livy Whittle in the February
number OF the New England Magazine,

those when the great roads of Rome were
built he traces the whole development of
highways down to the time when the
