MIR. and Mrs. Il. Morse Were
Killed.

Mr.. and Mrs. Edmund C. Morse

With Mr.. and Mrs. Morse were
Miss Amelia Lee, Miss Maud Wether-
bee and Miss Alice Brncroft, all
teachers in the public schools of
Lyndon. They were returning from
trip to Calais, the home of Miss
Bancroft, and were within three
miles of Lyndon when they struck a
narrow strip of road. There they
met another car, and Mr.. Morse,
evidently dazed by the bright glare
of the lights, swerved too much to
one side and lost control of the car
when it left the road. The machine
dashed through the fence and turned
turtle, pinning all beneath. The
three young women we're in the back
seat and managed to get out with
out assistance, but Mr.. and Mrs.
Morse were caught by the steering
wheel and the back of the front seat
and were crushed so badly that they
died instantly. The road is much
travelled and motorists quickly gath
cred and helped lift the car from the
victims.
Miss Wetherbee suffered slight
conclusions and had to be attended
by physician. Miss Bancroft was
somewhat bruised about one hip.
Miss Lee escaped unhurt.
Mr.. Morse was a native of Cabot t
and had been in business at Lyndon
for Is years, previously having been
postmaster. His wife was a native
of Concord. They leave one son,
Leslie, IA years old. Mr.. Morse is
survived by five brothers and two
sisters, of whom w. E. Morse, a
jewe!er land Mrs. Alice Robinson live
in Burlington. Mrs. Morse leaves
an aged mother, brother and three
sisters.

BIRTH OF A NATION.
This Popular and Interesting
Play to Be Presented at the
Opera House November 10 and
II,

The Birth of Nation to be shown
at the opera house, Island Pond,
both afternoon and evening, Nov
ember 10 and II, should be seen by
every man, woman and child in this
section. 1t is the greatest picture
ever produced and has probably
been seen by more people than any
other two pictures ever filmed. 1t
is replete with views of historical
scenes such as the assassination Of
Lincoln, battle of Gettysburg, and
others, all true to life and produced
at enormous cost. Cities are built
up and then destroyed by fire, won
derful artillery duels in which real
shells costing $3.50 each are exploded.
The prices for this wonderful pic
ture are reasonable considering the
big expense Of getting it here, and
are as follows: Afternoon, 35, SO
and Is cents; evening, so, rs and 81
Dance Friday, after show.

he cites that Americans say they want
