While logging in Gilmore last Friday,
Arthur Tit was badly injured. A
log started to roll and Mr.. Tiff, see
ing his danger from being crushed be-
meath it, jumped He did not, how
ever, entirely escape it, as one leg
was caught by the rolling log and
broken. The accident happened
about three miles from Elmore vii
lage and as there was no medical aid
near, rude bed of branches and
blankets was arranged on a sled by

A runaway OF any of the Morris
MILESTONE stage coach teams is a
rare occasion and the following, oc-
Cured yesterday morning, was after
the morning trip rom Stowe had
been safely N ade- The passengers
had been uuloaded at the Randall
and Mr.. Gates was assisting the
driver to unload a trunk, when the
horses started 10 to make a "home
ruD," going out Congress street, up
U1ion turning at Court street, con-
tinuiug to Main and stopping at
their own barn, and all without a tip
over. The blankets were strewn
along the road and one of the horses
received a few cuts, but no serious
damage was done.
Only a few days before the annual
town meeting and unless something
new happens before next Tuesday
nothing especially exciting is in sight
for the occasion. Town meeting
gossip has been unusually quiet this
year, but it is possible that candi-
dates for several Offices will not be
found wanting when it comes time to
drop in the votes. On account of the
resignation of E. E. Harris, who has
served as First Selectman for the
past two years, during which time he
has conducted the business OF the
town in very satisfactory manner,
it will be necessary to elect some one
to I'll this vacancy. 1t is also under
stood that Will Welsh, third member
of the Board, will not serve another
term. There will also be vacancy
on the School Board, as A. F. Whit
ney, who has served on the Board for
the past three years, wishes to an
nounce that he positively will not be
a candidate for re. election.
