Arthur Forbush Not Fatally Injured

The shocking news received here last
Saturday morning, that Arthur Forbush
grandson of Mr.. and Mrs. j. w. Daniels
had been fatally injured in an automo
bile accident at Spoiford Lake, N. H.,
was contradicted Saturday night by q
telegram and letter has since been re-
ceived by Mr. and Mrs. Daniels, from the
young mans mother, Mrs. Adah Forbush
Harvey, stating that If nothing new de
veloped he would be out of the hospital
in few days.
According to the account of the affair
sent out from Brattleboro, Mr.. Forbush,
who is engaged in the brokerage bust
ness in Boston, came to Brattieboro last
FRIDAY to inspect siX.cyinder Ford
machine with view of buying. After
testing the machine with the wner, j.
G. Ullery, Arthur started to make little
run alone with the machine, stating that
he had previously run a similar machine.
lie was travelling along the road at about
eight miles an hour. When he had pro-
SSNNN' AOi "DOuI ~ lOuSi INC OHlOOhGIS
saw the machine suddenly swerve and
barely grazing large pine tree, it tore
over the eight-foot bank and dropping to
the beach, rolled over into the lake, As
the machine went over it turned a COM
plete sOmersault and Mr.. Forbush was
pinned under the car, the back of the
seat falling upon his neck. DR.. f. H.
O'Connor of BrattlebOro, who happened
to be close to the scene of the accident
rushed To his assistance. Several people
removed the machine and he was carried
to Mr.. Taylor's garage where the doctor
worked over him for two hours without
restoring him to consciousness.
While no explanation of the accident
can be made, it is believed to be due to
the fact that MIR. Forbush had wooden
leg and was not able to control the ma
chine. Between 40 and so people saw
the accident, many of them being in
boats out on the lake, and these say that
he made no attempt to leap from the ma
chine and made no outcry. The auto
mobile lies on its side in Spofford lake in
badly damaged condition.
