Barre got its need of snow yesterday
when one of the winters fiereest drives
held full sway for the better part of six
hours. Throughout the afternoon the
snow fell so rapidly that travelling for
horses and pedestrians was something of
an adventure. Outside the city strong
wind aceentuated the fury of the storm
and every highway seemingly led up a
blind alley. Eight inches of snow fell,
but it made light and fluffy coverlet
which the plow men in the employ of the
street department removed from street
and sidewalk with comparative ease to-
day. In the woods the SHOWS OF Novem-
Der, December and adoleseent January
are piled high and farmers who plan to
lumber in the "off" season win find their
work cut out for them after yesterdays
storm.
Doctors conducting a post-mortem ex-
animation of the body of Ugo Ghillani,
infant son of Mr.. and Mrs. Antonio
Ghillani of Bugbee avenue, Wednesday
afternoon, ascertained that the child's
death was due to pneumonia. After the
autopsy, DIR. J. w. Stewart, the local
health officer, issued a burial permit and
preparations for the funeral were made.
The body was removed from the under
taking establishment of Perry & Noonan
this forenoon and the funeral was held
at the home of the child's parents this
afternoon at 2 o'clock. Interment was
made in Hope cemetery. An autopsy
was ordered by the health officer when
it developed that the mother was unat
tended by physician when the baby
was born a fortnight ago.
