Cassius Peck Of the Experiment station,
Burlington, and well known in this
vicinity, met with quite a mishap last
Thursday evening at the railroad station
in that city. He was after some baggage
and tied his horse to a telegraph pole, with
the express wagon, to which the animal
| uraG uffaahad efandfnn anroEu the track
When a train, which was an hour late,
backed into position for the night, il
struck the wagon, and completely de-
molished il. The horse broke its bride
and started On the dead run up College
street to the farm, where Mr.. Peck found
il later uninjured.
|. Mrs. W. s. Curtis left Tuesday morning
for the cottage at Caspian lake, Green's
boro, In company with her son and his
wife, Mr.. and Mrs. Fred w. Curtis, and a
maid, Emma Patch. From Montpelier
the ladies made the rest Of the trip to
Greensboro by automobile in the hope
that this swift conveyance would prove
less fatiguing to Mrs. w. 5. Curtis, who
though some better than she has been,
Is still quite an invalid. The apparatus
for the electrical treatments which are
benetiting her cancerous trouble went to
Greensboro with her that the treatments
might be continued there. Mrs. Fred w.
Curtis and baby returned Friday from a
visit Of several weeks with her parents in
Bayhead, n. j.
Lewis Conant Of the Center, who has
been working SIX or seven weeks for b. A.
Durkee and boarding with him also, was
arrested Monday morning, being accused
by Mrs. Durkee of breaking and entering
the house. II seems that Conant came in
late Sunday night and went out very early
Monday morning, not returning for
breakfast, though he was called repeatedly
and some search was made for him. Mr..
Durkee waited until Z O'Clock for his help
er and then, with his family, drove to
East Bethel TO his work, first fastening up
the house with extra care. Hardly was
the team out of sight when Conant came
out OF the bushes above the garden, where
he had lain in hiding all the time, effected
an entrance into the house, changed his
clothes and went out again. When Mrs.
Durkee inc the children came back from
carrying Mr.. Durkee to East Bethel, they
found that the house had been broken in
TO and a little later the boy, Leslie, dis
covered that his pocketbook, containing a
dollar, had been taken from the room
which he inc Conant occupied together.
Consnt was arrested and at his hearing
pleaded guilty to petit larceny and was
fined 30 and costs, which his parents
helped him to settle. The charge of bur-
glary was dropped as il could not be
proved that he took the money when he
broke into the house, it being possible
that ne secured IL in the NIGHT.
