Smothered by Load of Hay

Smothered by Load of Hay.
 Westbrook, Aug. 21.-John R. Stan nard, life long resident of this vil- lage, was killed in a sudden and unus- ual manner.
 MT Stannard had resided alone at his residence on Stannard hill since the death of his wife and daughter a few years ago.
 He took his OK team to the meadows for a load of hay, his man leaving after the load was secured. MT. Stannard proceeded home alone.
 About 9 D. m. the young man that lodged with him came in and found that he had not been to the house since leaving him in the afternoon.
 Investigation was immediately start ed and it was found that he had driven his load into the barn, and after taking off the cattle presumably had proceeded under the cart to block the wheels when the load of hay fell on him and he was smothered to death.
