An up-to-date method of street clean
ing has been put into force at Brattle-
boro, and the large number of people
who have been complaining of the dirty
appearance of Main street will have to
find some other point of criticism. The
selectmen bought q refuse cart, metal
barrel on wheels, such as is in use in the
large cities and it will be the duty OF one
\ man to spend his entire time on the
principal streets, sweeping and shoveling
up dirt and refuse and carting it away in
the new receptacle. 1t is believed that
with the new convenience he can keep
the streets in the center of the town in
first class order.
A horse owned by ]. H. AlDlon of
Mortified became frightened at an auto
mobile Aug. 10, ran into two teams, part
ly into the entrance of H. c. Moseley's
meat market, and away again. No one
was injured seriously, but both teams
were wrecked. Thomas Donahue, a lad
of Is years, narrowly escaped death as
the horse at full speed smashed into the
rear of the wagon in such way as to
throw the boy out into the street, but he
was unframed. The auto was running
at slow rate but on the wrong side of
the road, forcing the team into the gut
ter. Mr.. Almon and little daughter were
thrown out uninjured.
George Fiske, a Worcester man, was
injured by fall from a ladder while
~ l,11 ~,
that town last week. He carried bum
die of roofing up the ladder and when
he reached the top he attempted to place
the bundle on the roof. When he re-
leased his hold of it, the bundle slipped
back and struck the top of the ladder.
This caused the ladder to slip of, carry
ing Mr.. Fiske with it to the ground. The
bundle of roofing fell also and landed on
the PROSTATE man, thus making matters
much worse. No bones were broken,
but it is possible that there may have
been some internal injuries.
