NEW STYLE AUTO
Design Submitted by Bennington Boy
Meets With Favor.

The following Is clipping from q
recent issue of the BrattlebOro Phoe-
nix. The Mr.. Martin mentioned is q
native Of this town being the son Of
Mr.. and Mrs. Michael Martin Of Ben
nington Center:
"The warm weather of the past few
days has awakened added interest In
automobiling and 1t is now common
occurrence to see the various dealers
demonstrating their cars to those
whom they regard as prospects"
Practically all of the owners of ma.
chimes in Brattleboro have been out
for their first spin This week. Nearly
ali OF the last years cars have under
gone repairs and repainting. The out
look at present is that Brattlebor0
will maintain its position as a red-hot
automobile town. The sales already
reported are mostly of low and me-
dunn priced machines. Almost none
of the larger and more expensive cars
have been placed this season.
No little interest has been taken by
lovers of automobiles In a machine
now being built for A. b. Clapp by
Joseph ]. Martin of the e. r. Clark
Automobile company. The style of
the machine is gentleman's road
ster with speed capacity of 20 miles
an hour. The seat will be placed well
back and the weight will come about
seven and one half inches below the
center Of gravity. The wheel base
will measure LOG IL inches. The ma
chine will be equipped with four
cylinder engine of from 40 to 45 horse
power. The design Is Mr.. Martins
and the parts were all made accord
ing to his drawings. The construc-
tion of this machine has been going
on for about four weeks and It Is
probable that test will be made In
two weeks. The Clark company has
many deals that are being closed but
the names Of the purchasers are not
for publication until the cars are &C.
fually delivered.

MISS FAITH POWERS
Suffered Death by Drowning on May
rs, 1908 at MIddIebury, VI


Anemones and violets, wind flowers
and daifodils,
How short the tenure of their swift
sprung life.
The thousand varied tender blooms
which deck spring wales and hills,
How soon they fade, with fair,
sweet mem'ries rife!
They could not bear the burning heat
OF ardent summer days
Frail blooms In wooded hollows Of
the spring
And nature gave them early GOODNESS
In seQuestered ways,
Protecting them beneath her shell
t'ring wing.
So bloom and fade away oft-times
sweet fragrant, youthful lives;
Born not to bear the stress Of life's
short span;
Hasten they must away to where nor
toll nor sorrow strives.
Immortal realms, Gods priceless
gift TO man.
Afflicted ones, We fain with golden
word would solace trace,
To ease the burden of your heavy
grief,
We can but seek for you the healing
balm of heavenly grace;
God only can give broken hearts
relief.

The body was recovered just before
noon today and will be brought home
this afternoon. Mr.. Powers tele-
phoned briefly that the body had been
found but did not state where. Peo-

Hubert Il. Daley in writing to his
father. Dr. E. b. Daley, gives the fol-
lowing account of the accident:
Faith had been up the creek In a
canoe with young man, Ivan Wins
low by name, who is In college here.
He is not skillful canoeist and the
creek is very high. combination of
circumstances which assisted In the
tragic denouement. Just below the
boat house there Is quite current
and 1t Is thought that he carelessly
allowed the boat to drift into It..
Then I'm the effort to get out Of 1t, the
canoe capsized He managed to get
her across the bottom Of It and got on
himself. But farther on down stream
a number of willow trees Overhang
the water. He seized branch OF
one of these, evidently intending to
stop the progress Of the boat. How
ever. II simply pulled him right off II
and left her alone. He called to the
people who were trying to rescue him
to leave him and save her, but II was
too late and when they arrived at the
falls there was nothing to do, for
she had gone over.
Witnesses OF the tragedy say that
her shrek just as the boat hung Oh
the brink was terrible to hear. I'm
glad that | didn't hear 1t. Mr.. Pow
ers got here on the sleeper and Is
nearly distracted with grief. The
young man who was with her Is be
side himself and cannot give co

MONEY AND CLOTHES GONE
William Richardson Trusts a Travel
ing Printer to His Sorrow.

William Richardson, a young Eng
lishman who works for Il. Il. Hart,
has had his faith In human nature
shattered to the extent ola new suit
OF clothes and $3.50 coin of the realm.
Three weeks ago there wandered
into town tramp printer who said
that his name was Tom Clark and
that his home was In Providence. At
the job printing Office of J. II. Living
ston he inquired for work and stated
that he was on the trail OF peram-
bulating typo who had decamped with
a dress suit case, suit of clothes,
shoes, etc, belonging to himself. He
had, he said, traced the thief as far
as Hoosick Falls where the trail was
lost and he had come on to Benning-
ton In the hope of finding clue here
Clark was put at work and went to
board at Mrs. Sherman's on Main
street. He became acquainted with
Richardson and Saturday night dis
played $26 check which he said his
employer had given him but which
he would be unable to cash until
Monday. Would Richardson be so
kind as to lend him few dollars and
also loan him his new suit Of clothes
so that he could attend the play at
the opera house. Richardson COM
Piled with both requests and is now
minus his clothes and the money.
The check displayed by Clark must
have been an old one which he had
taken from Mr.. Livingston's desk for
he had been paid his wages in full up
to Saturday night. Mr.. Livingston
supposed that he was to come to work
as usual this morning but it ism I
likely that he will be seen in Ben

COLLIDE
Accident on Bennington and

ONE MAN IS INJURED
Machine Completely Demolished and
Span Of Horses Scratched and
Bruised at Crossing.

A special car which brought up q
party of Boston and Maine station
agents leaving here at $3.50 Saturday
evening struck seeding drill drawn
by a pair of horses at the crossing
near the Robert Gardner farm. The
drill was demolished and William
Bellrose who attempted to restrain
the horses was badly cut on one arm
and had leg SO seriously strained
that he is unable to walk today.
The drill was the property of Mo-
ses Wilson and had been borrowed
by the Tudor Brothers. who recently
purchased the John Robinson farm to
seed an eightacre piece of oats. The
horses belonged to the Tudor
Brothers. Having finished his days
work. Otis Healey who works for the
Tudor Brothers was returning with
the drill driving from behind the ma
chine. He was accompanied by VIII
liam Bellrose who works for Moses
Wilson.
Healey drove the horses onto the
track of the Bennington and North
Adams electric road and when he saw
the car attempted to urge the horses
ahead
Bellrose who was ahead sprang to
the horses heads. The animals
were clear of the track but when the
car struck the drill they were thrown
down upon the pole. They rose to
their feet with wild fright and per-
sons who saw the accident state that
it is remarkable that Bellrose escap-
ed with his life. He was dragged
some distance over the rocks and
badly bruised and shaken up but 1t
is not believed that he will suffer any
permanent injury.
The horses were somewhat scratch
ed and cut but are not damaged to
any great extent.
1t Is claimed by Mr.. Wilson, VII

The two young women came to the

the regular 1890 car arrived from
the north village. Inc order to be
sure of seat they took the car as II
came into the village, knowing that
it would be filed by people from the
opera house on the return trip. Be-
ing acquainted with Frank Volt, the
motorman, they went into the vesti-
bule and standing one on each side of
the young man, entered into CONVEX

The car made its trip to the end Of
the line and was on its way west
when opposite the residence Of w. II.
Bradford the controller blew out.
The forward part of the car was filed

they jumped from the car or fell Is
not known but from either one cause
