stopped at lonely place by two men.
They demanded his money and valua-
bles. AS Mr.. Ferguson showed dis
position to refuse, one of the men
walked in front of the car, pointed a
revolver at him, told him that if he
dared to run his car another foot he
would kill him.
Mr.. Ferguson parleyed with the rob-
Der for few minutes. and when the
man in front of the car was off guard he
threw on all the speed his automobile
could command and in a second the
highwayman had been thrown to the
ground and run over. The other rob-
Der ran away, leaving his companion on
the ground Realizing that the man
had been badly injured Mr. Ferguson
returned and got a doctor. The rob-
Der was brought here and put in a

A WORD OF APPRECIATION.

If there happens to be a stray mem
Der of our community who has been
hurrying so rapidly by the parks as not
to notice the beautiful flower mounds
provided and cared for by the Village
Improvement society, let him stop at
once near the Soldiers monument and
the Addison house to investigate and to
appreciate. Such tasteful ARA cement
of we'll chosen plants and flowers sug-
gests rather more to the village life
than a passing fancy for tulips, gera-
NUNS and hydran cas-. 1t cultivates in
the minds of the boy and the girl a
distinct love for the beautiful, and to
many resident may well be an incen-
tive for better kept yard and street
front. 1t hardly needs to be said that,
in general, the effort is in line with all
that leads to a cleaner, better and
larger Middlebury in all that these
terms imply.
A few years since a gentleman and
wife from New York took a train ur
through New England to look for a
suitable stopping place. They noticed
tastefully kept station with flowers
and walks opposite. By implication
this meant well kept and attractive
village, and they went off the train tc
remain the whole summer. Thus, if one
needed an argument in the bushes:
line, probably experiences enough Of
this sort could be reproduced to justify
the identifying of streets and park:
from purely practical standpoint. If
for example, the mound of cannas ir
the park near the rail road bridge couc
be seen from the trains, it might bring
many visitor to Middlebury. 1t is
the society's most artistic exhibit fol-
years.

Man Dying, Two Escape in Auto
Crash,

Burlingt ton, Aug. 7.-One man prob
ably was fatally injured and two of his
companions slightly hurt tonight, when
a touring car, driven by William j.
Carol of Woburn, rounding a curve on
VIM street, crashed into a railing,
went over 12-foot embankment, hit a
tee and turned on its side.
Carol, thrown from the car, landed
on large rock and sustained three
fractured ribs and cuts to his head. He
was taken to the Chca ate Hospital in
Woburn, where he was placed on the
dangerous list. Little hope is held out
for his recovery.
His two companions, Ferdinand Har-
kins, 40, member of the National Pole
League, and Joseph Breslin, rs, also OF
Woburn, were thrown from the car, but
miraculously escaped injury.
The party was on its way to Pinehurst
Park, pleasure resort in Billerica. Al
point on VIM street north of Sears
road the automobile took a curve, anc
as it did its occupants saw a market
wagon approaching.
Carol turned out to avoid the wager
and his car slowed into the railing
burst it open and raced through into the
field beyond. Directly beyond the rail
ing was a 12-foot embankment, dowr
which the car plunged until it struck &
tree.
1t had lost sufficient of its momentum
so that it did not turn turtle, but turned
onto one side after being thrown abou
dozen feet. Boston Herald.

Auto Over Bank.

Wilmington, Aug. IL. u. c. Gregg
of Pawtucket, R. l., lies in a critical
condition at the farm house of William
L. White, three miles from this village
on the Brattleboro road, as the result
of being thrown from the tonneau of a
big Cadillac car Sunday afternoon to
the rocks in the bed of the river 20 feet
below. He has a probable fracture of
the skull, broken spine and five broken
ribs on the left side.
Mrs. Gregg, who was with her hus-
be nd in the tonneau, is bruised and
suffering from the shock but no bones
were broken and Messrs. Barnfeld, one
of whom was driving the car at the
time of the accident, were seriously
injured.
The Cadillac was being driven toward
Brattleboro and when on a sharp turn
five miles west Of this village met a
light Ford car, containing only chauf-
feur. Both drivers managed to avert a
collision but the bank gave way under
the weight of the Cadillac and il
plunged downward. The radiator OF
the machine hit tree part way down
and two of the party who had not beer
thrown as the car went over the bank
were hurled out. Mr.. Gregg plunged
to the dry river bed 20 feet below anc
others were hurled in all directions,

AN UNNECESSARY LOSS.

In the more humid portions Of the
country in which oats are one of the
main crops considerable damage is re
ported as the result Of smut, fungous
disease that consumes the berry and
leaves the stalk barren. This damage,
which ruins from 10 to % per cent of
the possible yield, could have been pre-
vented had the seed been given a dis
injecting treatment with the formalin
solution. The careful farmer should
do this every spring. for, no matter
how free from smut his grain may be
at harvest time, it is almost sure to be
contaminated by being run through Il
separator which has handled several
lots of smutty grain. Treating the
seed each spring in the manner NEIL
toned is the only sure way, and it is
well worth while in view of the trif1ine
cost and the possible damage if the
grain is not treated

Monday evening as William Dean,
who lives on the upper road leading
from Seaver Bridge to Scrabble, was
driving to town, accompanied by Mrs.

of the accident and had Mr.. Dean re-
moved to Mr.. Goodheart's who lives
near by, for examination and treat
ment, and later he was taken home.
Both victims are doing as well as could
be expected. Mr.. Dean says he was on
the right side of the road as was the
automobile until it came within a few
feet when it veered from its course
striking the wagon on the side. Spring

Woman Hurt, Auto Hits Tree

One woman was hurt, perhaps fatally,
while another and two men escaped
death by the barest margin yesterday
when an automobile owned by E. L.
Gillette, wealthy carriage manufac-
tui err of Somerville, crashed into a tree
on Forest street, Winchester, spilling
all of its occupants.
Gillette was not in the car. Mrs.
Minnie Fisher of GA West Rutland
square, this city, was at the wheel.
She lost control, and before any of her
companions could grasp the wheel the
machine ploughed its way zig-zag across
the street and fetched up against the
tree.
Mrs. Fisher was catapulted from her
seat and landed on her head several
feet away. She was picked up uncon-
scious with a crushed chest and severe
internal injuries. Peter H. Babin of Is
Whitney park, Mattapan, who was rid
ing on the front seat with her, and
Mr.. and Mrs. T. F. Marshall, Gillette's
daughter and son-in-law, who were rid
ing in the tonneau, were hurled to the
ground.
Babin, however, was the only one Sc
verely injured. He sustained broken
knee-cap and was taken to the Winches-
ter hospital. Later he was removed to
hospital in Mattapan.
Several persons were attracted by the
accident, and after Mrs. Fisher had
been treated by physician she was
placed in passing auto and taken to
her home. 1t was reported last night
that her condition was serious. - Boston

FRIDAY. AUGUST IS, 1913.
PREDICT EARLY CANAL OPEN
ING.

Washington, Aug. 10. --latest re-
ports from the canal zone announce that
as the result of the prospective substi
tuition of dredges for steam shovels in
the excavation of the famous Culebra
Cut, the canal may be ready for ship
ping next December. Even earlier
than that light draft vessels are likely
to be passing through the waterway,
for as the greater part of the canal
prism has already been cut to it's final
depth small vessels probably can navi-
gate it safely within few days after
October 10 next, when Gambo Dyke is
to be blown up, thus admitting to the
Culebra level the great store of water
in Gatun Lake.
Thirty-four steam shovels now in the
cut handle only 800, 600 cubic yards of
earth and rock per month, which output
will be greatly reduced as the depth of
the cut increases and the available
room for shovelling is reduced. Col.
Goethals, however, has assembled Is
dredges, with a monthly capacity of
1900, 900 cubic yards, and these will be
floated into the cut as soon as the dyke
is destroyed.
Meanwhile, not content with digging
away at the base of the cliffs, the en-
gineers in their haste to open up the
waterway have begun to tear away the
top of the hills with great jets of water
under high pressure, sluicing the earth
into the bed of the canal, whence it is
being swept up by pneumatic dredges
and pumps and discharged into ravines
and valleys so far away that it car
never wash back.

Runaway Horse Causes Havoc in
West End,

Events happened with Kaleidoscope
rapidity when passing automobile last
night frightened a horse owned by
Samuel Rotner of SO Phillips street, at
Chambers and Spring street, one of the
most congested sections of the West
End.
Rotner's horse ran away.
Nine-year-old Mary Rogolsky was

tor with blow of its hoof
1t then crashed into a team owned by
A. M. Brown of III Fulton street.
Browns horse leaped through a plate
glass window.
In less than half minute, things had
happened so rapidly that two persons
and one horse were in need of medical
treatment, and lot of property he'd
been damaged.
The little Rogolsky girl, whose home is
at Is Chambers street, suffered injuries
to her left leg, and was treated by DR..
S. M. Saiz. Di Blasts left hip was in.
jured, and he was taken to the Relief
hospital.
Had not Mrs. Annie Goodman taker
her infant child into store with hei
the baby would have been killed wher
Rotner's horse smashed the perambula
tor. Browns horse was badly cut by
its plunge through the plate glass win
dow.
Shortly after the animal was extri
Gated from the broken window both the
other horses stopped and the excite
ment was over. Boston Journal.

most say murdered, by automobiles
would appear to be growing all the

USED RAZOR IN CUTTING AFFRAY
Michael Creedon Slashed Head and Cheek of James Cos grove in Greenevile Boarding House-Fight Said to be Result of an Old Grudge-Victim in the Hospital.

When Chief Linton sent Sergeant John H. Kane to the house to get the weapon used, he found the razor in 8 dress suit case in Creedon's room, all wiped clean, but there was no blood in the hall, while Cosgrove's room was cov- cred with blood There was one big pool of blood near the bed, another at the door and there were bloody f1n- ger marks on the door. All the evi- dence seemed to point to the fact that the older man had invaded the young CT mans room. There were no wit nesses of the assault that the police learned of.
 After he was cut Cosgrove came down stairs into the kitchen, with the blood flowing in stream from his wound and the landlady sent for Dr. Agnew who put few stitches in 1t to stop the bleeding and then had the man sent to Backus hospital in the autoambulance.
 The cut in Cosgroves face is one long deep gash, made apparently with one stroke of the blade. and is down to the bone all the way. It extends from the parting in his hair down in front of his ear and through his cheek and around to the middle of his chin. The razor cut through into his tongue when it passed through his cheek
 Creedon has been a boarder at the house for some time but Cosgrove for a shorter period. The latter came from Trenton, N J about year ago.

RHEUMATIC PAINS
 PROMPTLY DISAPPEAR
Relief Comes After Taking
 Few Doses of Croxone

It is needless to suffer with rheu- matism, and be all crippled up, and bent out of shape with it's heart wrenching pains. when you can avoid it.
 Rheumatism comes from weak, in- active kidneys, that fail to filter from the blood the poisonous waste matter and uric acid and the only way to overcome it is to remove the cause.
 CFoXone does this because it neu- tralizes, and dissolves the poisonous substances and uric acid that lodge in the joints and muscles, to scratch and irritate and cause rheumatism, and cleans out and strengthens the stopped up, inactive kidneys. so they can filter the poison from the blood, and drive it on and out of the system.
 Croxone is a truly remarkable med icine for rheumatism, kidney troubles and bladder disorders. You will find it differs from other remedies There is nothing else just like it. It mat ters not how old you are. or how long you have suffered, it is practically i'm possible to take it without results. Relief follows the first few doses, and you will be surprised how quickly all misery and suffering will end.
 An original package of Croxone costs but a trihe and all druggists are authorized to sell it on a positive money-back guarantee. Three doses a day for few days is often all that is ever needed to overcome the worst backache or urinary disorders.
