weather was threatening in the morn
ing the attendance was large, about
$50 people being present. Dinner was
served shortly after / o'clock by George
T. Kidder and his corps of able as
sistants, who fed about $50. The menu

j. Renffew of Middlebury. John H.
Donnelly of Vergennes acted as umpire.
The game resulted in victory for the
fats" the score being 8 to 6. The

the league has ever held and much
credit is due the officers for the manner
in which they handled the large crowd

FATAL AUTO ACCIDENT.

Quite little excitement was created
just south Of Middlebury on Monday
morning about 80 o'clock from the
report that an automobile had met with
an accident on the iron bridge that
crosses the river near the town farm.
Upon investigation it was discovered
that a car was in a badly demolished
condition and indications that some per-
son had been badly injured. The car
was Hudson and the property of j. w.
Richards Of Rutland and the occupants
were Mr.. Richards, w. H. Lester, Mrs.
Lester and Mr.. Richards son. The car
was coming from the south and from
the condition of the car and bridge must
have been going at terrific speed
The bridge timbers were sivered up the
entire length and strong iron uprights
were twisted out of shape. Mr.. Lester
was thrown from the car and received
fractured skull, left arm broken be-
tween wrist and elbow and otherwise
injured. He was rushed to the Rutland
hospital in the A. j. Blackmer ambu-
lance, but never regained consciousness
He died that evening at II O. clock. The
other parties, while not injured badly,
received bad shaking up.
Drs, Z. II. Martin of this village and
F. F. Dean Of Salisbury were immedi-
ately summoned and did all they could
to releave the sufferings of the injured.
DR.. Dean accompanied the party to the
Rutland hospital.
The members of the party were on
their way to Long Point on Lake Cham
plain at the time of the accident, to
spend few days in Mr.. Richards cot
tage. The three uninjured people went
by automobile to Middlebury where
they took the flyer to Rutland
The right front wheel of the car was
taken off, the mud guard and running
board smashed and the whole right side
of the tonneau crushed in, The machine
was towed to Stokes garage in this
village for repairs.
Mr., Lester was 6S years old, and had
resided in the town of Rutland since his
birth
Mr. Richards, who owns the car, is
conductor employed by the Rutland
railroad.

EASTON-HUNT.

The home of Mr.. and Mrs. Harry L.
Hunt was the scene of a very pretty
wedding on Wednesday noon when their
daughter, Hester Urania, became the
bride of Herbert S. Easton. The couple
were attended by Miss Mildred Hunt,
sister of the bride, and Russell Easton
of Shoreham, brother of the groom.
The marriage ceremony was performed
by Rev. D. H. Corkran. Dinner was
served to the guests, after which the
happy pair departed amid showers of rice
and roses for short wedding trip. Mr..
and Mrs. Easton will make their home
on South Main street in this village.
On Thursday evening they were tender
ed a reception by the parents of the
groom in Shoreham. Both are popular
young people and have large circle of
friends who extend congratulations.

in addition to the regular members, Mr.,
Fred b, Freeman, international County
Secretary, and State Secretary Byron

made as to the canyassing for this

stated that there was good prospect
that the full amount called for in sub.
mitted budget of S250O could be raised,
as about $22OO.had already been pledged.
On the basis of that report the commit
tee invited Mr., Rand to become the
County Secretary and to continue the
canvass until the amounts in prospect
had been obtained doing this in con.
nection with the regular work as secre-
tary, Mr., Rand stated that he was in
favor Of pushing the work of the
county along the suggested lines and
would begin work at once. Mr.. Rand
comes to this county well equipped for
the work, having had good business ex-
perience both as salesman and mana
ger; for the last year he has been chair
man Of the Boys Work committee of
the Burlington Y. NJ. c, A., succeeding
Col, Ira l.. Reeves. He also has had
five years experience as a religious
worker, and comes to his new work
well recommended. After a brief dis
cussioa of the budget proposed by Mr..
Freeman, the meeting adjourned, but
it is expected that another will soon be
called to further discuss the plan,

IN AUTO ACCIDENT.

H. j. Preston and daughter, Mrs.
Irving Stebbins, of Sheldon, are at the
hospital and three others went to their
holmes Thursday after injuries had
been attended at the hospital, following
an accident near the so-called Dry
bridge on Georgia road shortly before
noon, when an automobile owned and
driven by H. H. Mower of Sheldon
turned three somersaults. The party
was going to the Woodman's gathering
at Essex Junction. A woman was
driving in front and it is said that when
the automobile horn sounded she drove
across the road in the direct path of the
car. To avoid hitting her, Mr.. Mower
turned the car suddenly. Mr.. Preston
suffered severe injuries on the head,
chest and back. Mrs. Stebbins suf-
fered injuries to her face, arms and
legs. Both are suffering from shock.
Mr. Mowers right collarbone was
broken. Two others of the party suf-
fered severe shaking up.
