proved fatal had il been a tribe deeper.
DIR. Godfrey was summoned by tele-
phone and attended to the injury.
ID. G. Adams, the proprietor Of the stage
route from Chelsea to Barre city, had a
bad accident Friday. Soon after his arri-
val in the city he was delivering some
express and left his team for an instant to
go to the door when ball thrown by
some boys on the street struck one of the
horses. Before Mr.. Adams could get the
lines the team was off like the wind. A
One-horse express team stood across Main
street directly in the path OF the flying
pair which jumped to clear the team but
Of course piled the whole of them in a
bunch. One of Adams horses was so
badly hurt il had to be killed and the
other was not much better off end probab-
" viii never come out to be of much value.
The third horse was also hurt to some ex-
tent. This was Mr.. Adams best pair and
be was offered $3.50 for the horse that was
killed only the week before, to be shipped
TO Boston. Dave always prides himself .on
good team for the stage and he has been
all winter fixing his teams to have nice
turnout for the summer travel. This is q
severe loss to him. for il means the imme-
date purchase of two new horses to carry
on the business of the route. IL seems a.
though whoever threw the ball ought tC
be.made to help pay for the damage done
