Batchelder was driving so horsepower
Stearns car in the ten-mile open race for
stock touring cars. Twohey acting as mis-
machinist. On the eighth mile rounding
into the back stretch, Batchelder pulled
out to pass someone. What then hap
pened nobody knows. The Stearns was
seen to dash into the fence, fly over the
embankment and come to a stop 40 yards
beyond The two occupants were
thrown into the air. When assistance ar
rived, Twohey was found dead with his
neck broken. Batchelder was still
breathing but was horribly mutiIated,
one stake having ripped open his abdo-
men and another knocked a great cash in
his chest. He was placed in an ambu-
lance and rushed to the Royal Victoria
hospital, but died just after being adj
mitted. The car was the property of
Lorne Hale. His entry was refused once,
but later, when he secured the services Of
Batchelder, who was q science graduate
OF McGill, it vas accepted.
One of the best planned and most dar-
ing robberies in Vermont for some time
took place at Upper Graniteville early last
week Wednesday morning when the
boarding house of Polander, Joe Push,
was robbed Of about S400 in money and
other things. 1t is thought to be the
work Of two professional burglars who
had been hanging around for several days
and had worked themselves into the good
graces OF the Push family. John Kodiak
was the heaviest loser, having been
robbed Of about $3.50 which the day be-
fore be had drawn from q bank in prepar-
alton for trip. Mr.. and Mrs. Push and
furre hrn rr4r.ra n
night before Antoine Cgdoski and Steve
Rolan carried to the Push house some in
toxicating liquor and all present partook.
In some way the suspects got into the
room OF Kodiak and we're seen coming
from it by Kodiak who grappled with
them. Cgdoski grappled with him and
struck him over the head with a rock,
knocking him insensible. When he had
recovered, be aroused the family and no
titled the police. A trunk was broken
into and clothing and s12 in money were
taken.
A sensation was caused in the court OF
Justice of the Peace A. W. Dickens in
Middiebury, July 5, when Reid L. Carr, a
prominent New York lawyer, made an as
sault upon Justice Dickens, and, il it had
not been for interference, the trouble
probably would have resulted seriously.
As it is, Mr.. Carr is nursing an injured
arm and badly bruised left side. JUS
tice Dickens had marked q statement OF
the New York man as a lie, to which ex-
ceptions were taken. The trouble started
over the arrest OF F. j. Long of New
York city for exceeding the speed limit
in his automobile Sunday morning.
Long was found guilty and was fined s35
and costs. The court room was filed
with people, Is there was considerable in
terest in the case. AS soon as the deci-
sion OF Justice Dickens was announced,
Mr.. Carr jumped to his feet and accused
the justice Of being q CRATER, saying that
he was taking mp autos for the 50 fee that
there was in it. Dickens then responded
that the statement was lie, whereupon
Carr seized an inkwell and hurled it at
the justice, who lodged in time to escape
the missile. Dickens then caught up 9
Vermont state iron seal, weighing several
pounds, and threw it at Carr, who was
struck in the left side, the handle infiiet-
ing a deep wound in the arm. The CHIEF
Of police interiered and attempted to
place both men under arrest. Carr was
led from the Office and taken to his room
in an automobile. Mr.. Carr, besides be
ing q well kDo~n lawyer, also holds 9
chair in the New York University Law
school
