prohibition and socialist vote over the
vote for all outside the republican
and democratic vote of four years ago:
and also show some change in the
composition OF the general assembly
as compared with that of two years
ago The senate which at that time
contained five democrats, is now SOL
idly republican. The house at that
time had 1872 republicans, As demo-
Gratis, one labor and one independent
democrat, and three towns were un-

WENT OVER A TEN FOOT BANK.
Serious Accident to w. e. HaskelPs
Automobile.

w. T.. Haskell and J. Willard Cobb
have been receiving congratulations
this week on account of the fact that
they are alive and not seriously IN
iured after the automobile accident in
which they figured Sunday morning
They were riding in Mr.. Haskell S
Rambler touring car when the ma
chine struck a muddy place and be-
came unmanageable. In a second 1t
dashed over a 10 foot embankment,
smashing a heavy wooden guard rail
and uprooting a telephone pole, and
landed bottom side up In the bed of
brook with the two occupants UNDER
meath. How they escaped with their
lives is little short of miraculous.
The accident occurred at point
Just below Keith's mills on the road
leading from Weatherhead hollow to
North Bernardston. The machine
was bowling along at rate of be-
tween % and 80 miles an hour. In
crossing a muddy spot the front
wheels slipped, throwing the ma
chine sharply to the left. Mr.. Has
kell, who was driving, turned the
steering wheel sharply to bring the
auto into the highway again, and be-
fore he could make a second turn the
machine had dashed over the bank
on the right. II shot straight out
into the air. then turned completely
over and landed with terrific force at
the bottom of the ravine. When Cobb
came to himself after the shock
caused by the fal4 he was lying in
the hollow between the front seat
and the bonnet with Haskelps head
on his shoulder. The former WAS cut
in several places by broken glass
from the front of the canopy and the
latter had bitten through his lower
lin. otherwise they We're not injured
although badly shaken up and bruised
in numerous places.
1t is thought that the canopy of the
machine Is the only thing that saved
the mems lives for that bore the
brunt of the faH and was smashed to
atoms in consequence The body OF
the auto was also badly damaged but
the engines and running gear were
not seriously injured Had either of
the men been occupying the rear seat
there is little doubt that he would
have been seriously injured If not
killed instantly.
Messrs. Haskell and Cobb crawled
out from beneath the machine as
soon as they found themselves un-
hurt. and after stopping the engines
went in search of aid to get the ma
chine on the highway again. force
of six or seven men and a pair OF
horses was needed to accomplish
this. and it was then found that the
machine would not run. 1t was.
finally towed to Brattleboro.

nesday at 10: 80 a. m. The officers of

appointed foreman of the grand jury
and Sheriff elect Mcclure was de-
tailed as officer in charge. Nearly

Redden's death, which occurred few
weeks later. This case will probably
occupy the remainder of the week.

cupy about three weeks, as good
number of cases still stand for jury
trial. Among these are Manley VS..

tion with the Newfane bank robbery.
Two indictments were found against
Howard. the wounded prisoner, one
for burglary and one for assisting in
burglary. one indictment Of burglary

Endorses Sells & Downs Circus

In the great scrap book of press
notices kept by the great Sells &
Downs Shows may be found many
unique and original press notices
which make interesting reading
Perhaps one Of the most original
comments, because of its unusual
and emphatic way of expressing its
approval of the big show, is the fol-
lowing taken from the Daily Journ-
al Of Hannibal, Missouri:
Some years ago a ball-headed
member Of the Missouri legislature
from the southeastern section of
the state introduced a bill to com
pei circuses to how everything ad-
vertised.
"This honest statesman evidently
did not have Sells & Downs circus
in mind when he prepared his bill,
Judging from the great entertain
ment given by that great combina-
ton in this city yesterday.
"The promises on the big, fam
ing bills were great, but every
promised was fulfilled, and more.
"The parade, to start with, as
tonished everybody. 1t was i'm
mense. And then the menagerie
was complete and there was no
kick coming from ticket holders.
The big show came up full to ex-
pectation. TO particularize would
require page. Every act was ap-
plauded. The Journals advice is,
when you get within reach of Sells
& Downs circus, go and get your
moneys worth. "
