AUTO LANDED IN BROOK.
Fortunately No Que In Waitsield Party
Was Injured.

Burlington, Aug. SC. G. Niles and a
| force of men succeeded in rescuing a
five passenger Overland automobile
from its berth in the bed of brook
near Queen City Park yesterday after
noon. The automobile is the property
of IL. w. .LcAllister of Waitsfeld and
the accident happened Wednesday aft
ernoon about three o'clock. That no one
was seriously injured is remarkable.
The car was driven by Mr.. McAllister
and was coming from the park with a
Mr.. Warren and family, who are spend
ing the summer in Fayston. They had
engaged Mr.. McAllister at Waitsfield for
the day and rode to Burlington with
him. Near the bridge which covers
brook near the park on the old road, the
ear suddenly sweryed and went over
five-foot wall, precipitating Mr.. and
Mrs. Warren with their two children
and Mr.. McAllister into the brook. The
car did not turn turtle but rested on its
side. No one was seriously injured and
aside from the nervous shock which all
suffered the only hurt was cut lip Of
one of Mr.. Warrens daughters. The
machine was considerably damaged
One of the rear wheels was completely
demolished, the lights are gone and the
top is cut.
As soon as the party was able to drag
itself out of the brook, where they rest
ed in a foot or more OF water, a physi-
clan was summoned A little while
later they were brought to Burlington
by a hack. At the Van Ness House,
where the party had lunch, a room was
given them and at $40 they left for
their summer home.
The car was brought to the Ideal gar
age and will there be placed in shape
for journey home. Mr.. McAllister at
tributes the accident to the presence of
a stone in the rut of the road. Mr..
Warren and the other members of the
family are inclined to attribute the ae-
cident to careless driving.
