the Tenney Memorial Library valu.
able document, the same being we'll
preserved copy of the New Hampshire
Intelligencer, printed in Haverhll, N.
H., Wednesday, Oct. 10, 1925, being
Vol. 5, No. 256 of that paper. A large
space in the paper is occupied by
statement of Era$tus Fairbanks, Esq,
of St. Johnsbuiy, relating to his
prosecution by DR.. Whipple of Went
worth. Mr.. Fairbanks was travelling,
on the evening of August 10, 1925, on
the MAYHEM Turnpike about one mile
below Flanders Tavern in Plymouth
with two horse wagon loaded. Dr.
Whipple approached from the opposite
direction, driving at a high rate of
speed in a two wheeled sulkey. Mr..
Fairbanks turned out as the turnpike
law directed, but not quick enough to
avoid a collision. The doctor was
thrown out and the sulkey broken. The
doctor was not injured except in his
sulkey and his feelings. Dr. Whipple
had the future governor of Vermont at
his mercy and put the thumb screws to
him to the tune of about $1,000. On
the team with Mr.. Fairbanks was Ham
lin Paddock of St. Johnsbury. This
old paper is particularly valuable Tor
having a very full and complete market
report. The paper is a gem throughout
