He Was Learning
TO Drive.

Rutland, Aug, 2.--Orris II. Ballou,
prominent member and former leader
of the Rutland City band, was almost
Instantly killed yesterday when new
automobile lie had purchased crashed
through length of state road fence

over three times, landed right side up,
50 feet below the road in rock filled
meadow. The chauffeur, Roy Stetson,
employed by the Premier garage of this

cut In several places and he complained
Of injuries to his back. He was taken
to his home where it is said he will
probably recover.
Mr.. Ballou remained in the car during
its plunge, but he expired soon after he
was removed from it. He remarked aft
er the accident to those nearby that he
was fully to blame. There were no in
iuries on his body, but his back was
broken when the weight of the car
squeezed him against the steering gear
Mr.. Ballou purchased the car Saturday
and yesterday afternoon he was on his
way to Lake Bomoseen where his wife,
son and daughter were in camp, enter
tanning a number of college friends of
the Ballou children. Mr.. Ballou was
learning to run the machine and he
took the drivers seat after passing
through West Rutland. The car was
bowling along at a fair pace, but when
point just south of the Whipple hol
low crossing was reached, he seemed to
lose control and the car skidded into
the fence sliding over the steep embank
ment. The fence gave way like paper
and the machine turned completely over
three times, finally landing right side
up in the middle Of the meadow. Mr..
Ballou has been employed at the Howe
Scale works for many years and he has
done much orchestra work in this sec
ton. He leaves besides his wife, three
