WOMAN KNOCKED
DOWN BY AUTO
Mrs. John McHardy Struck Head on
Pavement When She Was Hit by
Samuel Gerrard's Machine
Not Seriously Hurt.

An automobile, owned and operated
by Samuel Gerard, Knocked down Mrs
| McHardy of u Seminary street at the
intersection of Elm, Washington and
Main streets yesterday forenoon just as
a crowd of church going people were
crossing from the Aldrich building cor
ner to the city park. The car was mov-
ing slowly at the time and was stopped
Immediately after the woman was struck
by a mudguard and she was not run
over The only injury seemed to be a
bruise on the back of Mrs. McHardy's
head, where it struck the pavement.
The place where the accident happened
is a corner with many possibilities for
far worse results than happened; and
the danger in this instance, as at half
hourly intervals, was accentuated by the
fact that the Washington street trolley
car stands at the corner while waiting
for the arrival of the main line car from
Montpelier and forms marked hind
rance to traffic.
Mr.. Gerard was turning his machine
from Elm street onto Main, going north
ward where the electric car makes a
narrow lane on its right side, room
enough for motor vehicle to pass
through when pedestrians are not about.
On this occasion there was a stream of
people already on the crossing and 9TH
ers were waiting on the corner. Mr..
Gerard footed his horn constantly as
he approached the corner to pass through
the narrow lane between The street car
and the curb; but as there were sew
eral people on the crossing he changed
his course suddenly to go around the
trolley car, all the time blowing his
horn.
Most of the pedestrians took warning
from the horn and scattered, but Mrs
McHardy either was too engrossed in
conservation or thought the auto was
passing behind her and she did not get
out of the way, although her woman
companion lodged to one side. Both
Mr.. Gerard and witnesses Of the acci-
dent agree that the automobile was
moving slowly, Mr.. Gerrard's statement
being five miles an hour, while some
witnesses said eight miles.
At any event the machine was not
moving swiftly enough to do more than
thrust Mrs. McHardv along and finally
to cause her to lose her balance and fall
over. after which the machine was
abruptly halted. Mrs. McHardy was as
sisted to her feet and was taken to her
home by Mr.. Gerard. DIR. J. w. Stew
art was summoned and he dressed the
brtiise on the back of her head. She was
not rendered unconscious.
The accident caused considerable eN-
at the time. because there were
many people about the corner and it was
not known how seriously Mrs. McHardy
was injured. The corner is recognized
as the most dangerous in the city be-
rause of the intersection of several
streets that have a large amount OF
traffic and because of the fact also that
the standing trolley car serves partially
to choke the thoroughfare,

JOY RIDE ENDS
IN WRECKING CAR
Party from Lebanon, NJ H., in Hospital
at St. Johnsbury-Witnesse Say
the Auto Turned Over Twice
on Leaving the Road.

st. Johnsbury, June S.-One man was
so seriously injured that his recovery is
despaired of, another is in dangerous
condition at the Brightlook hospital here
and two women who have steadily re-
fused to give their full names are badly
shaken up as the result of an automobile
accident which occurred three miles from
here yesterday afternoon.
The machine was being driven at tre-
mendous speed, according to witnesses,
by w. Walter Mowrse of Lebanon, n. H.,
veterinary surgeon, who was the most
seriously hurt. The party had come
from Lebanon and was approaching this
town on a sandy stretch OF road. Sud
denly the machine skidded and struck a
culvert. Those who were near the place
declared the car turned two complete
somersets and landed right side up,
squarely on its wheels.
Motorists stopped, hurried to the spot
and found the four lying beside the bad
" damaged automobile, the two men un-
conscious. The other man was 5. A.
Sayre, also of Lebanon. The two women
are unknown. One said she was Miss
Cass, refusing to give her first name,
and later it was reported that she is
nurse in the Bellevue hospital, New
York. The other woman gave the name
of Miss Campbell and refused to say
another word.
DIR. w. B. Fitch of this town, the first
physician to arrive. ordered the removal
of all four to the hospital. There
Mowrse was found to be suffering from
concussion of the brain, scalp wounds
and badly cut ear, which was almost
torn from his head
Sayre's arm was broken in several
places and his condition is considered Sc
rious. Upon the arrival at the hospital
the woman, who said she is Miss Cass
and was put to bed. The 9TH
ar woman was the only one of the party
able to talk, but she would say nothing.
Other motorists who passed the auto
mobile and several residents in this town
declared that the party was hilarious.
When the automobile, a touring car num-
bered 1920 n. H.. was towed into town
empty beer bottles and some bottles
which had contained other liquor were
found in it.

AUTO TURNS TURTLE
WITH 5 OCCUPANTS
Most Serious Injury Sustained Was a
Cash Over One Mans Eye-Accident
Partly Due to Fresh Oiling of Road.

Three members of touring party of
five were tossed into the bushes, and the
remaining two were pinned under 1912
Cadillac car near the gas plant in Nor
pelier early Saturday evening, wher -
automobile which they occupied - d
in the murky pools of freshly sprf lied
oil and turned turtle completely. One
of the passengers, Louis Giacamuzzi of
Railroad street, brother of the ball
player of that name, received painful
cash near the right eye, while the Others
escaped with superficial skin abrasions.
The car is owned by Frank Tettamanti
of this city, who advertises to carry
passengers for hire, and the other mem
bers of the party were Frank Ozella,
the Italian A. c. baseball umpire, j.
Restelli and Bisoni Calderara.
G. b. Roberts of Montpelier, superin-
tendent of streets, seems to have been
the first to reach the scene of the spill
ing. He was bowling easily along in his
car when he saw the Cadillac machine
lying upside down in the oily highway
ahead. About that time three excited
passengers were emerging from the
hedge that borders the road, and they
beckoned to Mr.. Roberts for aid. He
carried Giacamuzzi and his companions
into the city, where, in the office of Dr.
julius Dewey, Giacamuzzi's wound was
dressed and three stitches taken in the
cash. Others treated their own bruises
with ointment and arnica.
Meanwhile a Websterville car which
happened along the way took cognizance
OF the mishap and offered to take the
damaged car back to Barre Garage
men at the Cadillac agency on Jefferson
street are repairing broken lamps and
a shattered wind shield on the car, which
was purchased from the Bennett agency.
The damage to the car will not reach a
large figure, although it will not be
ready for use for a few days. The ma
chine was formerly owned by DIR. f. j.
Foster Of Waterbury Center.
According to the story which the occu-
pants of the Cadillac recited on their
arrival in Montpelier, the car was pro-
eeeding along at respectable pace, Is
miles per hour, when they struck the
strip that had been recently oiled so
Taking judicial notice of
biit NulNti bIttHuS bHe operation
of a ear in the fresh oil, the driver says
he stayed his speed by several degrees,
and it was when he turned his head to
glance at an approaching team that the
car suddenly skidded. In the thick OIL
the car failed TO respond promptly to
the application of brakes and before the
driver could realize his predicament, the
auto had turned squarely around and
fatty on its hood. Tettamanti and Giac-
amuzzi were the men whom the car
pinned to the ground. They were re-
leased with little difficulty. The owner
of the Cadillac is quite prominent fig
ure in the Italian colony, and when he
purchased the car a short time ago he
opened booking Office for touring par
ties in the G. Tomasi block on North
Main street. With proper care, Giaca
muzzi's injury will not result seriously,
and beyond bit of lameness which
each member of the party confessed to
feel to-day, no one is the worse for the
accident.

FLAMES ENVELOPED
3-YEAR-OLD GIRL
Reta Gauthier Was Saved from Death
by Prompt and Heroic Action of Her
Uncle, Thomas Tanguay.


A little orphan girl, three year-old
Reta Gauthier, came near being burned
TO death at the home of her grand
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. George Tanguay
of Beckley street, yesterday, when she
went too close to a kerosene stove and
set fire to her clothing. She was saved
by the prompt action OF an uncle, Thomas
Tanguay, who burned his hands in eX-
tinguishEig the flames. The girls left
side and arm were burned quite deeply,
but she is doing well to-day and is ex.
pected to recover.
Reta is the daughter of the late Mr..
and Mrs Remi Gauthier, the latter of
whom. Blanche Tanglay Gauthier, was
killed in an accident on the East Mont
pelier road a few years ago. The girl
is living with her grandparents.
Yesterday the grandmother started a
fire in the oil stove and then went into
another part of the house. The little
girl began investigating the stove, and,
all unaware of her danger, she got too
close, tongue of flame catching on her
left sleeve and then running to the body.
Reta ran screaming into another room
and there was caught by her uncle, who
rolled the child in heavy cloth and sue
ceeded in putting out the cruel flames
that were threatening the little life.
Later, DR.. A. G. Paiment was summoned
and he dressed the burns and made the
sufferer as comfortable as possible. The
doctor also attended to the burns on Mr..
Tanguay's hands.

pIoyed at the Alexander Milne plant off

Goodrich, who was called as soon as pos
sible, examined the man and found that
he had sustained the fracture of two ribs

sidered serious, although Mr. Smith will
be unable to work for several weeks.
He was taken to his boarding house at

At Least 40 Were Executed.

Juarez, June s.-The persistent rumors
that many federals had been executed
in Chihuahua City were explained to-
day by the statement that those who
faced the firing squad were without ex-
ception deserters from the constitution
slists and reds or former Madero ir-
regulars, who joined. Huerta. OF the
26 shot last week, seven were former
members of the constitutionalists and
seven bandits. 1t is estimated that at
least 40 were shot.

CAUCUS ON PoSToFFIcE JOB.
Democratic City Committee Decides
Geo. N. Tilden Announces Candidacy.

City committeeman of the Democratic
party met Saturday evening and elected
John j. Hartgan to serve as committee
man from ward to fill the vacancy
caused by the removal of Lawrence
OKelly to ward 6. George w. German,
the committeeman at large and chair
man of the city committee, presided, and
the wards were represented as follows
Ward |, Angus Mcdonald; ward 2,
James Brown; ward 3, Donald Mcleod ;
ward 4, John j. Hartigan; ward 5, Pat
rick McNulty ward 6, DR.. Joe w. jack
son.
Proceeding from action taken at the
meeting is the announcement that city
caucus will be held on the evening of
Tuesday, June l6, for the purpose of
selecting candidate to succeed Edward
w. Bisbee as postmaster. The Barre
postmastership is one of the many plurs
in Vermont that are yet to be plueked,
and the feeling prevails that the field
is none too large for the accommodation
of those who at this moment are gazing
into the tree with hats outstretched
should the fruit fall their way. The
present incumbent's term does not ex
pire for some time yet, but the men
tioner mas not been idle the while, and
he who tabulates list of those whose
aspirations have been hitched to that
particular star must jot down some of
Barre's most prominent business and
professional men along the street. To
date, no fewer than eight have been
mentioned, and those who are informed
say that the end is not yet. Whether
all of the avowed candidates will alloS
their names to go before the caucus is
still a mooted question.
George " Tilden to-day announced
his candidacy for postmaster OF Barre,
in the following open letter:
ITO the citizens OF Barre City and pa
irons of the postoffice;
Il wish to announce through the col
umns of the Barre Daily Times that !
am a candidate for appointment as post
master of Barre City at the expiration
of the term of office of the present en-
cumbent.
Il respectfully solicit the support of
the patrons of the office in my behalf.
Respectfully,
"George \. Tilden."

distance by automobile. The track was
cleared so that traffic was resumed late
last evening. The track was torn up for
a considerable distance but the work was
easy after the derailed coaches had been
pulled back on the iron.
Some residents near the scene heard
nothing of the wreck, while those who
were awakened thought the noise sound
ed merely like two freight cars coming
together while being coupled.

Waterbury, June Saturday after
noon the house owned by William Mar
