THEY WENT AsTRAY.
!. W. Redmond and F. E. Miles
both of Newport, have had business
at court here for several days. The
case in which they were interested as
attorneys for def. that OF Kanoskey
VS. Miles, had been on trial several
days and wasnot finished when court
adjourned from Saturday noon until
Monday afternoon. Wishing to get
home to spend Sunday and return in
good season Monday theyconcluded
to drive across Countrywide day be-
ing fine and the way pleasant. Be
sides the aforesaid lawyers the party
included Mrs. Miles, who had been
here with her husband, Miss Chest
nut, the court stenographer, H. A..
Darling and David Abraham Young
the latter as "Jehu." Receiving in
structions from Redmond, who knew
:" all about these roads, having driv-
en- all over them when Superintend-
ent of Schools" the party started off
waving hands and calling Good by,
you'll see us again Monday" Before
they left the village they had got on
the road to Johnson, but after going
a short distance were put on the
right track. They entrusted them
selves to Redmond, who told the
driver to "follow the telephone
poles," which he did in fine style.
In some way Abraham got off the
main road, making a detour of Cen
terville and various other side roads,
and at three o'clock, after a delight
full ride Of about two hours, pulled in
at Hyde Park. They were some
what amazed, as they thought they
were at North Hyde Park. Getting
their bearings they made anotheiI|
start, this time going via Garfield
Not content with taking the directV
road, they took in Craftsbury and !
North Craftsbury and after much
ourneying and many enquiries ar
rived at Newport at $50 p. M, very
tired and considerably disguised.
Redmond only accounts for Abra-
lam's deviations by stating that he
was so busily engaged in CONVEX
'ation that he paid no attention to |
he maneuvers of the driver, in whom
he placed implicit confidence, both on
he witness stand and as an intelli-
gent chauffeur.
The party came back to Hyde Park
n good season Monday on the I'm y
;tallment plan, some coming byrail, i
and others in their own conveyance,
while John and the " chauffeur" rode
n the original team, keeping close
I'VE on the telephone poles
Perhaps the best excuse for this pc
,uliar trip is that severaldays wrest-
ing with jargon from Russian-Amer-
can witnesses is enough to befuddle
any clear-headed mind-a disciple of
not excepted.
