STALLED IN WATER.
Physician. Patient and Nurse Have Ex-
citing Experience near Waterbury.

Phystc1ans Patient ana Nurse Have Elk.
citinE Experience near Waterbury.
Among those who experienced the effects
Of the recent rise in the water Of the Wi
nooski and Lamoille rivers was DR.. p. E.
insolvency Of this city and a party from
Morrisville.
Leaving this city at two o'clock Tuesday
afternoon, the doctor drove by automobile
to Morrisville. to which place he was called
in consultation by DR.. Charles Bates.
The condition Of the patient was deemed
such after the consultation that it was
considered imperative that she be brought
to a hospital.
The party. including the patient. Mrs. D.
Bevilotti. her aunt. Mrs. H. Alexander.
and her nurse, Mrs. T. Stone. left Norris
willie at seven o'clock and arrived at Wa
terbury without noticing anything un-
usual beside the fact that the roads were
heavy and covered with a thin Aim Of
water.
When the party crossed Little river
bridge. about mile west Of Waterbury, it
was remarked that the water was very
high. SO high In fact that water covered
the road ahead. but because the same
piece Of roadbed was absolutely free sew
eral hours before and that one or two
other stretches in like condition had been
| for alarm.
As the car plowed its way in, however
the water kept getting deeper and deeper
until finally the engine stalled. At this mo-
| ment there were six inches Of water in
the tonneau. This In conjunction with the
fact that the lights were almost SUBJ
merged made an extremely alarming sit
uation.
Only by the securing of a pair Of horses
by DR.. McSweeney from a nearby farm
house could the party be pulled from its
its perilous predicament Once extricated,
| the party was taken to the Waterbury
Inn. where they sypent the remainder OF
the night.
Yesterday Mrs. Bevilotti arrived In tow,
on the early morning train and was taken
to the Mary Fletcher hospital. Last cven-
ming the woman was resting comfortably
after having been operated upon by the
physician She seemed to suffer no III
effects from her exciting experiences OF the
night before.
High water flooded large amount OF in.
teryale laand along tho banks of the Wi.
nooski river. A great deal of damage has
been caused TO crops and the lives of hun.
dreds of animals have becn imper!lled, the
meadow land being filled with stock at this
time of year. The bursting Of a dam neal
Montpelier has sent the water rushing
down the Winooski river carrying with Il
many buhels of beans and corn which hat
not been harvested. At some points the
water rose as high as 10 feet.

OBITUARY..
john u. Taylor.

Word was received in Burlington Thurs
day morning Of the death in Denver.
Colo, Wednesday night Of John B. Tay-
lor. . weil-known Vermont newspaper
man, and for II years valued member
Of the Free Press editorial stan. Mr..
went September from Burlington to
Saranac Lake. N. Y. whore thcy remained
three weeks, and then proceeded to Dem
vor, where they intended to make their
homo. Mr. Taylor had been in poor
health for some time and the journey
taxed his strength to such an extent that
two days after his arrival in Denver
he was obliged to take to his bed. Mrs.
Taylor wrote encouragipgly OF his con-
dition. however. saying that he was hav-
ing the best Of care at sanitarlum
where they were staying, and II 10 sup
posed TINT the end came suddenly.
John Rurnham Taylor was born In st.
Adams December Is. 1871. the son Of
]. Dorsey and Lucy (Burgess) Taylor.
After attending school in his native city,
Mr.. Taylor went to Michigan University
at Ann Arbor. After graduating he re-
turned to st. Adams and held positions
on the st. Adams Messenger as editorial
writer and news editor. In the fall Of
1901 he came to Burlington and became
State editor of the Free Press. holding
that position for eight years, when he
succeeded w. ]. Bigelow as night editor
on the iatter's removal to st. Johnsbury.
Four years later. in January, 1914, ne re-
signed his position with the Free Press
and for the next Is months was con-
nected with the Howard National bank
in this city as publicity man. In April.
1915. he returned to the editorial stan
of the Free Press, doing special work.
In the spring Of 1916 lung trouble
developed and he passed the next year in
a sanitarium at Saranac Lake. N. Y,
where he regained his health to degree
that led him to believe he could take up
active work again. He became a director
in the re-organized corporation publish
ing the Burlington News and was chosen
treasurer and business manager. Within
four months. however. the insidious dis
ease again manifested itself and he was
obliged to relinquish the position. He
then decided to remove permanently to
Denver, but was delayed in his departure
by a relapse. from which he recovered
to such an extent that he felt able to
| make the trip.
Mr.. Taylor IL survived by his wife, who
was Miss Annie Smith Childs. daughter
Of the late Col. George T. Childs Of St.
! Adams; by his mother, who is now re-
siding in Fitchburg, Mass, and by half
| brother. Dorsey Taylor Of st. Adams.
To Mr.. Taylor's former associates on
this paper, who knew his many good
qualities Of head and heart. the news Of
| his death, although not wholly unex-
| pected. comes as a distinct shock. His
| many friends in the Ethan Allen, Algon-
quin and Waubanakee Golf clubs. to
| which he belonged. as we'll as in other
social and business circles Of the city.
will deeply sympathize with the members
Of his family who are left to mourn his
| loss.
