accommodating large quantity of cedar
ties alongside the siding at West

As Oliver Pettengill was driving
his automobile on Crescent Avenue
Rumf6rd recently. he met with a queer
accident A tough linen thread had
been strung across the road from
tree to tree, at height calculated to
remove hats of autoists as they passed
the place. AS it happened, the string
/ was on a level with Mr.. Pettengill's

cape humiliation.
