One ear was nearly torn from his head

Falls, who was gathering milk at the
time of the accident, the automobiles
would have gone on, not caring what be-
came of the injured man. Mr. Rice had

and enabling him to take the number OF
the car and procure help for Mr. Ordway.

est drivers makes a statement that he has
run his car from Bellows Falls square
to Courthouse hill, n distance of four
miles, in four minutes
