DROVE OVER BANK.
Two Men, Horse and Sleigh Landed In a
Heap.

As a result Of bad spill at the road
culvert below Jones Bros plant Sat
urday afternoon, which is said to have
been the outcome of visit to one OF
AIontpelier's thirst-dispelling shops, Ed.
gar X. Wheeler of Plainfeld and Vel
entine Hutchins rested in the tolls at
the police station over Sunday. This
morning the pair were arraigned before
Judge II. w. Scott in city court on
charges of intoxication. Wheeler plead
ed guilty to first offense and was
fined So and costs of $3.50. On the
respondents promise to sign a pledge,
the fine was revoked and Wheeler was
obliged to settle only the costs. Hutch
ils entered a plea of guilty to a first
ofIense and also expressed desire to
sign a pledge. This course he will
doubtless be allowed to take and the
fine OF $5 viii not be imposed during
his good behavior.
Hutchins and Wheeler were arrested
on the Montpelier road Saturday after
noon by Chief of Police Sinclair, who
had been advised of their condition by
telephone. Procuring team, the chief
went to the scene of the spill and found
bott men lying apparently unconscious
at the bottom OF the steep incline near
the culvert. A lone horse, which had
lately been attached to partially
wrecked sleigh, also at the bottom of
the pit, stood mournfully surveying the
scene. In the melee which precipitated
the home going pair over the bank, the
animal had been stripped of every strap
and had sustained bad cut on one of
its legs. With the assistance of work
men nearby, Chief Sinclair was able
to lift the men into his sleigh. Later
Herbert Spencer Of Sixth street APP
peared at the calvert and took charge
OF the horse and damaged sleigh, which
he claimed as his own.
In telling their story to the judge
this morning, the respondents could not
remember just how they went over the
bank and knew nothing Of the sad
plight in which they We're in when the
officer arrived

Ladies and Gentlemen.

In regard to Wards Tip-Top bread, it
has always been our endeavor to supply
our customers with the best provisions
obtainable for the money paid IFS.
Before we introduced Wards Tin Top
bread, we investigated the matter and
first found that it was superior in quail
ity to any bread that we had previously
been able to buy and sell at 10 cents n
loaf, being a larger loaf than any bread
then we had ever sold We gave DEM
onstration last week, and everyone that
tried it pronounced it the best bread that
they had been able TO buy in Barre.
In regard to being a union bread, we
investigated that and found it to be lust
as much OF a union bread as any other
that is sold in this city. 1t is made by
the latest modern machinery and the
head bakers belong to the Boston bakers
union. We always try to give our Gus
toners just what they want and we shall
continue to handle the local bread. so
you can have the kind you want. Yours
