injured but the other members OF the
company, Mr.. and Mrs. Ernest A. Sargent
and their three children, escaped with
minor hurts Sargent, who Is son'ln-law
of Mrs. Mcintyre, was driving his ma
chine at a moderate speed when he lost
control and it went over the embankment.

Motorman Charles A. Hewett was in
stantly killed and conductor Fred Slack
and six passengers narrowly escaped SIM
liar fate Saturday night when a trolley car
in charge of this crew crashed into rail-
road freight train on the Park street cross
ing in Rutland. The fact that the car was
equipped with detachable vestibule is
probably responsible for the only death.
This was torn from the car with Motor
man Hewett. His body was dragged more
than 200 yards up the tracks, where it was
found by searching party. The car was
running on the South Belt, and was sup
posed to stop before the crossing was
reached to allow the conductor to see if
the track was clear. This it failed to do,
it is said, but instead smashed into the
middle of the freight train, which must
have been moving at rapid pace.
Mrs. E. A. Mutt, court stenographer in

and in one hand gas tube was held close
to- the mouth. Her head was wrapped in
quilt and blanket. Mrs. Mutt was the
widow of E. A. Mutt, well known Yer.
mont newspaper man, who died April ~ OF
this year Since her husbands death Mrs.
Mutt had been respondent and had suffered
from nervous breakdown. She had been
under treatment in the hospital at Mont
pelier and was forced to give up her court
work. Mrs. Mutt was 80 years old. She
is survived by her father Luman M. Grout,
who is 80 years old. She was a sister of
DR.. Don d. Grout, superintendent of the

Pleading guilty to fraudulent use Of the
mails in selling horses, John G. Ainslee, a
barber of Bernardston, was sentenced to
the Greenfield county Jail for year and a
day by Judge Dodge in the United States
district court in Boston last week, The de.
PENDANT was arraigned on complaint of
Postofiice Inspector E. +. Sharp. Ainslee,
according to the indictment returned
against him by the federal grand jury, ad-
verised in st. Adams newspapers that he
had a fine Morgan bred mare for sale. The
animal was worth from 5000 to $500, but
he would sell her for $50 to any person
who would be kind to her. Letters f1ocked
into Ainslee and he received in advance at
least eight checks for $50 and one for $50.
In return, instead of the 'ine Morgan
he sent along an old horse that was
worth about $40. In his advertisements
Ainslee used the names of "Mrs. Frank
