An accident occurred last Friday to
Marshall Paulette, who has been a faithful
laborer for Fred Whitcher for some time.
1t appears that Fred had an express wagon
at the depot and Marshall went up to take
it down. It was packed in such manner
that the springs were held down by a strip
of board and when Mr.. Paulette broke off
one end Of the board it few up and the
nails in the end struck him breaking, his
glasses and drove the pieces into the upper
part of the ball of the right eye. 1t Is a
very painful accident and he may lose the
eye. He went to St. Johnsbury to be treat
ed in the hospital.
Eugene Rash had quite a narrow escape
from being injured last Wednesday, by
reason of his horse running away. He was
coming down the May hill when one of his
ho1dbacks gave way and let the wagon on
the horse. The horse ran and could not be
controlled. Eugene stayed in the wagon
till he got to Mrs. DR.. SINNERS barn when
he jumped out and let the horse go. The
horse ran into and damaged E. S. Deve-
reaux's wagon in front of Z. w. Barron's,
then ran up the hill across the bridge
toward E. E. Fosters where he was caught.
Mr.. Rash's covered carriage was thorough
ly demolished but nobody was hurt.
Hon. and Mrs. F. T. Holder of Yonkers,
n. Y, arrived in town July Sd. Mr.. Holder
was very much pleased with the work
which has been done on the fair ground
and has now authorized Mr.. Davis to con-
tinue the improvements. Floral hall will
be made over to correspond with the re-
mainder of the buildings and when the
grounds are finished and ready for the fair
in September the park will have taken on
the appearance of beautiful village. The
visitors July 4th were much pleased with
the appearance of the grounds and many
expressed a desire to attend the fair and
inspect the park at that time when the
changes have been completed.
In paper printed in San Bernadino,
CAL, we learn that DR.. and Mrs. John
Meyer are to settle in that city. DR.. Mey-
er was formerly a resident of that city but
has been in Philadelphia studying medi-
cine for some years. He graduated there
with high honors, and has become the
junior partner of DR.. White, a popular
phyician with large practice. 1t is fine
opening for the young physician, and the
friends of Mrs. Meyer, formerly Miss
Maude Mossman, will be glad to hear of
| their bright prospects. The paper in
speaking of these facts says Ellis bride is
Miss Maude Mossman, who for several
years studied the violin in Boston and
Philadelphia. She was at one time a resi-
dent of this city, where she has hosts of
friends who will congratulate her and DR..
Meyer" Mrs. Meyer also has the con-
gratulations of her many friends here.
The last issue of the Express and Stand
ard contains the following article regard
ing the baseball game here last Thursday;
''The game was loosely played on both
sides, as the score will show. The Bartons
had assistance by hired players. The score
resulted in a victory for Barton in a score
of IS to Z. Barton's outside assistance
helped them win the game" The, Newport
correspondent apparently failed to gather
all the points regarding the ''hired" play
ers and consequently gave the Barton boys
an undeserved "roast." The facts are as
follows: The home team played two young
men who were visiting friends in this
village. They were outside players it is
true but were not hired to come here to
play. However the Hardwick boys had
two outside players who were "hired'' to
come here for this game, one from Newport
and another from Beebe Plain. The mem
bers of the home team outplayed their
opponents at every point and won by ex-
cellent team work.
The free use of liquor on the fair ground
last Thursday is causing much comment
by the people of Barton and the Fair AS
ISOLATION that there should be no liquor
sold on the grounds but large amount of
so-called harmless beer was brought on
and sold at the stands, and from the con-
dition of the people it is easy to be seen
that this drink should have been sup
pressed. In addition to this there was
large amount of rum brought on to the
grounds in bottles and peddled about in
open view of all. The police were unable
to cope with those under the influence of
drink and many who should have been
arrested or obliged to leave the grounds
made themselves very obnoxious to the
people. We are able to state on the best
of authority that the sale Of the drinks
which caused the disturbance will not be
allowed on the grounds in the future and
we understand that a place will be pro-
vided for keeping all who make disturb
ance and whom it is found necessary to
arrest. Every precaution will be taken to
guard against another occurrence of the
kind.
