PARALYSIS AT NORTH ADAMS
Health Authorities Report No New
Cases Since Thursday.

No new cases of paralysis were re-
ported at North Adams yesterday and
the belief of the board of health that
the epidemic stage has not been reach
ed is generally accepted There will,
however, be no relaxation of the pre-
cautinary measures until all danger
has passed. In pursuance of this
policy the children's department of
the public library has been closed and
no more books will be issued to chill
dren under l6, until further notice.
Several New York and Brooklyn
people who were to have visited the
city were prevented from doing so by
the North Adams health authorities,
and a constant patrol is being main
tanned at the railroad station. There
is much less alarm in the city than
has been the case for several days, as
there are but three supposed cases
of the disease and only one that is
positively diagnosed as infantile pa
ralysis. All of the cases are directly
traceable to Brooklyn.

TWO AUTOMOBILES
BADLY DAMAGED
IN COLLISION
Came Together on The Flats"
Friday Evening
0lDSM0DILE AND MAXWELL
Small Machine Considerably Stove Up
-Odsmoble Narrowly Escaped
Destruction by Fire.
olOSMOBlLE AND MAXWELL

Shortly before 10 o'clock Friday
evening an Oldsmobile from the VIII
liam S. Gibbs garage at Hoosick Falls
and driven by Thomas Brazil and a
Maxwell touring car owned and driven
by Harley Dyer who lives at Shafts
bury Hollow collided on the North
Bennington road. Both cars were
considerably damaged The Maxwell
car being the lighter of the two came
through the crash in the worst shape.
No occupant of either car was injured.
A short time after the collision the
Oldsmobile caught fire and when
thoroughly examined it may be found
that the temper of important parts
was taken out by the heat.
Driver Brazil was taking party Of
young people from Hoosick Falls to
this village and Mr. Dyer was re-
turning home with two passengers
when the accident happened. The
cars came together on the straight
stretch west of the Willow Switch and
both cars were probably travelling at
good rate of speed Judging from
the manner in which the Oldsmobile
ripped up the road after the cars came
together the HoCsick Falls machine
must have been making fairly good
time
When the cars came together the
Maxwell went out toward the ditch
with both front wheels collapsed and
| the forward axle badly twisted, so
much so that the car was cramped at
an angle. On the Oldsmobile the most
serious damage resulting from the col
lision was break in the frame.
News Of the accident soon reached
the village and an automobile party
| left here to see the wreck. While the
crowd was gathered about the ma
chimes some one lighted a match for
the purpose of looking under the
Oldsmobile. The match was thrown
under the car and a quantity of gaso
line that had leaked upon the ground
caught fire. Prompt assistance on the
| part Of the sightseers saved the cal
from more serious damage 1t was
drawn back by hand from the blaz
ing gasoline so that the fire failed t
+, communicate with the tank.
This forenoon the Oldsmobile was
at the Perry b. Gardner garage fo
repairs but the Maxwell had not ye
been taken from the scene of thu
wreck
| Considering the extent OF the dam
age to the cars, particularly the Max
well, ii is extremely fortunate tina
none of the occupants were hurt.

Working But the Working Out the Getting Tha
"PETE" BUss AT THE FRONT
Bennington Boy With New York
Guardsmen at Mission, Tex.

The Banner Office has received from
Ansel Buss, the Bennington boy gen.
orally known as Pete who has been
in the employ of the Twin State Gas
and Electric company for number of
years and who enlisted with the Hoo
sick Falls company of the New York
national guard when the call came for
service on the Mexican border
The letter was written from Mis-
sion, Tex, where the second New
York infantry is stationed and in it
the writer says that the troops are re-
ceiving three square meals a day,
although most of the food is cold.
The train which carried the New
York guardsmen to Texas was made
up in two sections, Company NJ, going
in the forward train. The soldiers
were compelled to ride the entire dis
tance in day coaches but Pete writes
that they were fixed up at night so
as to be fairly comfortable.
The route was by the way of Wash
ington, Memphis, Tenn, Houston,
Tex, to Brownsville and then to Mis-
sion. The Bennington boy has found
congenial associates among the mem
bers of the Hoosick Falls company
but writes that he would have pre-
ferred a place in the Vermont regi.
ment and would have taken it had he
known that the troops from this state
stood as good chance of reaching
the border as the New Workers.
Pete" wishes to be remembered to
all of his friends in Bennington.

RACE ON RECORD
BY SINGLE c.
Thrills in Free FOr-t|I on Grand
Circuit Track
BEST THREE HEATS EVER PACED
Greatest Speed Exhibition in History
of Harness Racing in
America.

Cleveland, o., July 22-All seasons
and two worlds records went by the
boards in the freefor-all pace at the
last day of the North Randall grand
circuit races yesterday, in which
Single G. created a sensation after
Russell Boy had won the opening
heat in 200 IA, by coming on and nos
ing out Murphys PAGER in the second
heat, duplicating the time of the first
mile and then taking the race by
tramping the third heat in 2O1 IA. 1t
was by all odds the greatest speed ex-
hibtion in the history of the grand
circuit, and in only the special match
races between Directum ! and VIII
liam was the time even approached.
The worlds records were: The
fastest three heats ever paced, the
three heats averaging 200 92-100; the
fastest second and third heats ever
paced by the same horse, averaging
2.01; the seasons record-fastest
first heat, 200 IA; fasest second heat,
200 IA; fastest third heat, POI Ia;
fastest three-heat race, averaging
200 92-100
1t was a wonderful race and fully
lived up to early predictions and the
only reason that the two-minute notch
was not beaten was that Murphy took
back and saved Russell Boy at the
finish of the first heat and Curt Cos
nell did the same with Single G. in the
second mile. Otherwise both miles
would have been below two minutes.
