MAY PROVE FATAL
Brattleboro Party Precipitated Over
5O-Foot EmbaDkment When Steer
ing Gear Became Uncomfortable
Machine n Total Loss.

Brattleboro, Oct. 31.-While speed
ing along the West river road late
this afternoon in an automobile,
Charles S. Brown, his wife and party
of friends we're precipitated over an
embankment landing in West river
so feet below. The occupants chung to
the machine and as the car struck the
rocks on the river bottom, all we're
thrown out. Mrs. Brown was severe
ly injured and has slight chance of
recovery. The other occupants were
scratched and bruised. The accident
happened near the farm of John J.
Vevier, in the town of Dummerston,
about two and half miles from
Brattleboro. The party was return
ing home after a days trip. At the
time of the accident Mr.. Brown was
driving carefully around bad curve
when the steering gear broke and,
before he could reduce the power
the car shot over the bank rolling
over and over to the river bed below.
The car was badly damaged in it's fall
and may be total loss. Medical as
sistance was summoned from Brat
tleboro to attend Mrs. Brown, who
was afterward removed to her home.
Examination of the machine showed
a loose nut on the steering post.

Nh ATTACK
J OF LUMBAC0
CANNOT BE CURED BY EXTERNAL
APPLICATIONS.
They May Give Temporary Relief but
the Disease Must Be- Cured
Through the Blood.

Anyone who has had an attack of
lumbago knows the ordinary treatments.
such as hot cloths, hot water bags, hot
fiatirons and bags of heated salt or hops.
These give feeling of comfort, which
is temporary relief, but the disease is
not cured and one attack follows an
other suddenly and painfully.
AS in the treatment of muscular rheu.
'matism, lumbago must be cured through
the blood. This is the method of the
tonic treatment and its success is shown
by the statement of Mrs. Ida M Halves,
of No. 1855 Washington street, New
Dorchester, Mass. She says:
Through exposure I became afflicted
with lumbago few years ago. did
Mot mind the trouble at first but soon it
became more serious The pains would
ITCH me very suddenly in the small of
back and it seemed as though I
doubled up My right side was
fted and the pains were worse dur
lamp weather. was hardly able
EFT around and do my work. My
e seemed to ache all of the time. I
these pains ON and off for number
years and was frequently confined to
Re bed for a week or more at time.
"The doctor said had very bad
ease of lumbago and that it would be
some time before I could get well. After
taking his medicine for while, decid-
ed to change to DR.. Williams Pink Pills.
My sister had recommended them to me.
The pills quickly helped me and took
them until cured. i"
DIR. Williams Pink Pills have also
cured such blood diseases as anemia
rheumatism, after-effeots of the grip and
fevers. Owing to the intimate relation
between the blood and nerves, the pills
have been found invaluable in such ner
vous diseases as dizziness, nervous de
bility. neuralgia and st. Vitus' dance.
A booklet, Diseases of the Blood,
giving ynore information about the re
NEEDY will be sent free on request. L
You are suffering from impoverished
blood you cannot afford to wait another
day before giving the pills trial.
DIR. Williams Pink Pills are sold by
all druggists, or will be sent, postpaid
OH receipt of price, 90 cents per box; si'
boxes for $3.50, by the DIR. Williams

WOMAN DIES IN JAIL.
Laura LOcklin, of Barre, Dead From
Alcoholism.

AkGUuVtlSms
Laura Locklin, Of Barre, who was
arrested last Thursday in company
with Goldie Sun, of the same place,
and lodged in the county Jail charg-
ed with selling liquor illegally, was
stricken with an attack of heart
trouble about o'clock Saturday af-
ternoon and died from its effects an
hour later. Sheriff Tracy summoned
Drs. MCGUIRE and Parmenter and al
though the woman was alive when
they arrived all efforts to revive her
proved unavailing. The attack was
the result of over indulgence in alco-
holic stimulants. The body was re-
moved to the undertaking establish
ment Of Johonnott & Hall and the
funeral will be held from there at
2 o'clock this afternoon, services be-
ing held at the chapel of Green Mount
cemetery.
When the woman was arrested she
was placed under bonds of $500,
which she failed to furnish. Her
trial was to have been held in the
county court house tomorrow after
noon. She was about 3S years of age
and through her alleged connection
with the liquor traffic had pretty
wide acquaintance with county Of
ficials.
A dramatic incident happened in
connection with her death yesterday
afternoon. A man from Barre,
whose name is given by the jail Of
ficials as Joe" Bianchi, called at the
Jail about o'clock and asked for the
Locklin woman. Upon being told
that the woman was dead, he imme-
diately drew a knife from it's case
and made a lunge for Sheriff Tracy,
who was sitting at his desk. Mr..
Tracy made a swipe for three bags,
landing on Bianchis left eye and
temporarily stunning him. Bianchi
did not intend to give up without
struggle, however, and as soon as he
recovered his composure he made
another effort to bring his knife into
play. Sheriff Tracy struck him a
singing blow in the face which made
him reel and stagger and finally
take the count" He was then bundl-
ed into a CELL
The officials think that the man
was laboring under some kind of a
delusion. He had not been drinking.
When he was told that the Locklin
woman was dead, he yelled:
Eyes, by G., and you killed
her!"
The knife he used had a blade
about six inches long, the edge of
which looked as if it was endowed
with considerable horse power. Of
ficials at the Jail say that the Locklin
woman was Bianchi's housekeeper.
Just what charges will be pre-
ferred against Bianchi could not be
learned last night. 1t is probable
that he will find himself defending
charge of assault with intent to
kill, or it may be that he simply will
have to answer to disorderly conduct
and carrying concealed weapons
Bianchi became violent last even
ing and succeeded in running what
few articles of furniture his cell con-
tanned. A physician wa Summoned,
who gave the prisoner something to
quiet his nerves. He was then hand
cuffed and removed to the part of the
Jail set aside as a hospital. Every
thing except a mattress was remov-
ed. He soon fell asleep.
