Team in the Ice Pond.

Charles Fl. Baraw, who is cutting the
Ice on the pond of the Electric Light and
Bobbin Co., had a narrow escape from
losing one Of his teams last week. The
team was nearly loaded with ice cakes
when the horses in some manner caught
the reins and begun to back. Before
they could be stopped they had backed
the load over the edge Of the ice and into
the water which was about ~ feet deep at
this point. The load took the horses
right along with it and they we're COM
pletely submerged in the icy water.
The gang Of help stood and shouted for
about a minute, then rushed to the assist
ance OF the drowning animals. Their
heads were pulled out OF the water, a rope
was placed around their necks, choking
them so they could not breathe, when
they fioated to the surface and we're
pulled ashore on the ice. The horses
were hustled down to the livery stable,
given a dose OF hot tonic by DIR. Hill,
rubbed dry and cogered with blankets.
They came out all right the next morn
ing and went to work as usual, but it was
a close call and it Is said their rescue Was
due to the promptness OF Fred sharkey,
ons OF the men working on the pond,
who held their heads above the water and
placed the rope around their necks to stop
their breathing, making 1t possible to
pull them out.

Charles s. Daggett, who died of
Brights disease at South Royalton, VT,
Jan. Is, was born at Morgan in Orleans
county, VT, June "a, 1870, SON OF Arthur
and Abbie Lord Daggett, and lived there
until about eighteen years OF age when he
came to South Royalton where he was en-
gagged working for Arson p. Skinner In
bis meat market, and in the shoe shop.
In 1891, he was married to Alice Belle
Blake OF South Royalton, with whom he
lived very happily until bis decease. In
1901 he removed to Derby, VI, where he
engaged in the meat business until
March, 1907, when he sold out his BUSH
ness, and in the autumn. of that year re-
turned to South Royalton. He purchased
home here and engaged in the fish and
grocery business. This he continued un-
til stricken With his last illness. His
health began to fail ia the spring Of 1909,
but be continued his business through
the summer, and it was not until October
that his condition became SO serious as to
oblige him to give up his active life.
His immediate relatives are all de-
ceased, and 1t is singular that his father,
who was the last survivor OF his family,
died in November, 1908, Of the same
dread disease that caused the death OF the
son. In business life be was prompt,
courteous and strictly reliable; and 10 So
cial and family Lille he was always genial
and pleasant. He was at the time of his
death member Of Rising Sun Masonic
lodge, also OF the Modern Woodmen, and
OF the Grange, and was much esteemed
and honoFed by his fellow members.
The funeral was held at the Methodist
Episcopal church, Rev. E. L. M. Barnes
officiating, and the Masonic services we're
rendered by DR.. E. ]. Fish, who gave the
beautiful and impressive rites of thab
order. His brethren OF the Woodmen
we're pail bearers, and many from the
Grange were also present. The church
was crowded to the doors by those who
thus showed the esteem In which be was
held and the sympathy felt for his wife
who survives him.
Among relatives who attended the fun
eral were Frank F. Lord Of Holland,
Conn, and Mrs. Eva Evans OF Randolph
Center.
