the weather seemed threatening but the

the roads were in fair condition. BY

he was fairly in the area Of the storm of
the previous night and the balance of
the way to Skowhegan, mud, rain and
snow combined to make the journey very
uncomfortable and somewhat perilous.

coming onto the iron bridge in that town
the front wheels of the car slipped on
the planking bringing the machine into
collision with the supporting trusses.

fered by this accident but, as no part OF

fered with Mr.. Green was able to con-
tinue to Skowhegan, reaching here al

about sixty miles and this had been
covered In five hours.
