Bacon in the case of Howard Yearly
against Hayes Bigelow. The defendant
was not present but was represented
by F. d. i. Stowe, A. F. Schwenk and
r. J. Waterman appearing for the
plaintiff. The suit was brought to re-
cover damages resulting from runa-
way Sept. s, 1904. A horse owned by
Howard & Yearly and driven by Mr.;
and Mrs. E. F. Tenney was frightened
by Mr.. Bigelow's automobile near the
watering trough on Western avenue and
in the accident that followed the car
riage was demolished. 1t appeared IN
the evidence that the lamps on Mi.
Bigelow Is automobile were not lighted
and that he did not blow his horn, also
that the machine was so nearly in the

Bacon gave verdict for the plaintiff
to recover $40 and costs. The defend
ant appealed to the county court.

at the foot of Canal street hill Tues
dav evening when Mr.. and Mrs. Ar
thur II. Brasor were struck by ira
verse sled and badly injured. Mrs.
Brasor suffered fracture of both bones
of the right leg below the knee and is
now in the Brattleboro Memorial hospi-
tai. Mr.. Brasor sustained severe
cash in the back of his head and the
muscles of his left leg were badly
bruised. Mr.. and Mrs. Brasor were re-
turning from visit to the home of the
former S parents at the corner OF flne
and Canal streets and were walking IN
the road because Of the slippery condi-
ton of the sidewalks When about OPP
posite the house occupied by Mrs. Nora
Kenney at the foot of the hill they were
overtaken by a traverse on which six
young people were coasting. Mr.. and
Mrs. Brasor heard the shouts of the
Young people just before the sled
reached them and stepped to the right.
Roy Miner, who was steering the ira
verse, turned it to the right at the
same time and then attempted to turn
il to the left to avoid a collision. AS
he did so the steering rope snapped
and the heavily-loaded sled struck the
pedestrians. Mrs Brasor was knock
ed down and her right leg run over
while Mr.. Brasor was thrown several
feet into the air, coming down on the
back of his head. All of the young peo-
pie on the traverse were thrown off
and Miss Eleanor Noyes was severely
bruised.
The boys of the party at once turn
ed their attention to Mr.. and Mrs.
Brasor both of whom were unconscious.
They were lifted to the sled and taken
to the home of Mr.. Brasor's parents
where medical aid was Immediately
summoned. Mr.. Brasor recovered con-
seriousness in short time but Mrs.
Brasor was in a dazed condition for
the greater part of the evening. Both
were taken to the Brattleboro Memorial
hospital but after the cash in Mr.. Bras
or s head was closed he returned to the
home of his parents. The muscles in
his left leg were so badly bruised, how
ever, that he has been obliged to go
about on crutches since. Mrs. Brasor

Adventurous Career Ended,

A most adventurous career has end
ed In the death few days ago at
Arklow, County Wickton. of Mr. f..
Walsh. After serving some time in
the Royal Irish Constabulary, Walsh
went to the gold diggings of Califor-
MIA, and from there drifted to the sill
yer mines of Colorado, where he work
ed side by side with Messrs. Mackey
known afterwards as the Silver
king-O'Brien, Flood, and Fair, who
were miners there, and subsequently
became millionaires. He Joined the
Federal army. and took part In all the
leading battles of the Civil War At
the struggles of Fredericksburg he
was in the division which cut a way
through the Confederate army by
which the remnant of the Irish Bril-
gade under Gen. Thomas Francis
Meagher retreated after the headlong
charge they made Of the strongly for
tilted batteries of Marge's Hill. Mr..
Walsh was severely wounded, and lay
all night amidst the heaps Of slain.
Picked up next day, he recovered, and
continued In the ranks till the end Of
the struggle.

Wild Geese as Decoys.

In a shipment received by firm on
the fish wharf this morning from
consignor In the mountains OF North
Carolina were six eagles and six wild
geese, all alive and hungry. The
eagles were of the bald and American
varieties and were large birds. The
wild geese. 1t is stated, were caught
several months ago and have been
trained to act as decoys for wild ducks
and geese.
The birds have had the web of one
foot split and the bone of one OF the
wings removed so that when they
swim or fly It is in circle and they
have to come back to the point from
which they started.

THE EARTH'S BEHAVIOR

From the scientific viewpoint it is
not strange that the earth is given to
occasional quakes and volcanic erup-
tions. 1t only seems strange that such
phenomena are not more frequent.
Consider the composition of the earth
and the gait at which it travels. We
estimate the danger of railway travel
automobile speeding and the like by
the distance covered in a given time
Apply that rule to the earth and it
will appear amazing that great catas-
trophies are comparatively so rare.
On a hardened crust relatively thin
ner than is the tissue paper to the
Grange it enwraps, we are travelling
around the sun at the rate OF about
100000 miles a day. Beneath the
crust, presumably not more than ter
or twenty miles in thickness, are the
awful elements that at times manifest
themselves on the surface by violent
tremors and belchings from volcanic
vents.
The man of science sees in these
phenomena merely tangible evidence
that the earth is fulfilling its manifest
destiny. While travelling at its tre-
mendous speed around the sun it also
is travelling at less speed through il
limitable space as a member of the
suns family of planets and satellites
But in addition to all that, it is rolling
over and around every twenty-foul
hours, giving dwellers on its surface
the alienation of day and night.
No wonder that the earth at times
gives indications of unusual interna
disturbance. If it were not for the
solid core that science credits it with
the eruptions and quakes might bt
