ROCKVILLE.

A terrible accident occurred at Vernon Center last week, resulting in the instant death of Nelson Snow of Rockville. He was employed by A. F. Street, the build- ing mover of Rockville, and was at work in moving the old county home building to Rockville. The building had reached 8 point nearly opposite the house of Chas. Dart when the accident happened Snow sat back of the capstan, where he had charge of the rope. The capstan bar broke and the great strain on the rope brought the sweep around with great force. One part struck Snow in the head. Snow was about 40 years old. One part of the bar struck the horse, breaking one leg, and the animal was shot. One piece of the broken bar was found over 75 feet from where the accident happened.
