CARS CLASH IN
GLARE OF LIGHT
Arrests Follow Collision on East Mid
dlebury Road

Owing, it is alleged, to the glare of
clear-glass headlights, two automobiles
met head on in collision on the East
Middlebury road late last Saturday
night, One car was driven by w. Grant
Thomas of Burlington former assis-
tant engineer Of the Burlington fire de-
partment, who is now at the mechanical
training school at Burlington. The other
car was driven by c. P, Ferary of Lin
coin.
Mrs, Ferary, who was riding with
her husband was slightly hurt and the
two automobiles were badly wrecked.
Thomas and two friends from Burling-
ton who were with him are alleged to
have stripped the number plate from
the car to escape identification, but they
were traced by Sheriff Edward H. Hig-
gins, who arrested Thomas in Burling-
ton and brought him to municipal court
here where Judge Dickens fined him
$40 and costs of Sl9S5 after Thomas
had pleaded guilty to violation of the
headlight law. He paid the fine and
was released.
Ferary was also arrested by Sheriff
Higgins on the same charge and upon
plea Of guilty was fined $25 and costs.

STORM SCARE
Lightning Gives Girls at Hepburn a
Real Thrill

Last night and Wednesday night,
Middlebury and vicinity experienced
series Of electrical storms OF unusual
severity, accompanied by winds which
must IN places have laid low many
acres OF grain,
SO far as The Register could learn
this morning there was no serious dam
age from lightning in this vicinity but
there was a real thrill at Hepburn Hall,
which is the Spanish School dormitory,
on College Hill A ball OF lightning as
large as an apple came through the kit
chen window at Hepburn and disported
itself among a large number of knives
and forks which lay in a pan on the
window sill Alfred Cole who was
washing the dishes and who tells of the
incident, says that the whole kitchen
was for a moment one binding glare of
light, but that the lightning bolt passed
of into some of the electric wires, The
lighting fuses were burned out and the
whole place left in darkness. All the
dining room girls at Hepburn were in
the kitchen at the time, and were so
frightened that they made pell.mell for
tue basement,
Frank w. Cady's house on South
street was one of the places struck The
bolt hit the chimney at about 6:30 in
the evening and sent bricks flying and
carried a great quantity Of SCOT down
the fireplace Mr. and Mrs, Cady and
their two children were sitting within
ten feet Of the fireplace but fortunately
they got no i'll effects from the shock
The electric lights and telephone we're
put out Of operation, however
A large number OF private residences
arount town suffered from bown-out

The war has put It's blight on the

Notwithstanding that its performers

Lieut.. Chalmers, Last of His School
of Nine

Lieut.. William Wallace Chalmers,
who graduated from Middlebury Col
lege in 1913 is reported missing on the
battle line in France July H. Only a
week ago President Thomas at the Col
lege received a letter from Chalmers
father, James Chalmers, who is princi-
pal at the State Normal School in
birmingham, Mass, saying that his
son, Wallace, was "all right up to date"
but that he was then the last one left
out of the original nine from his ground
school of aviation, the others having
been killed or taken prisoner.
Chalmers fate is unknown, whether
dead or prisoner. He was member of
the Delta Kappa Epsilon fraternity,
and after graduation from College he
became connected with a manufactur-
ing business at Fitchburg, Mass. Early
in 1917 he went into training at the
Chicago Aviation Station and was
transferred last fall to the battle line
where he has been flying a scout ma
chine.
1t is learned that 1t. Dow, husband of
Elizabeth Chalmers, who was a grad
uate from Middlebury a year later
than her brother, has had a narrow es-
cape from death in battle, His cloth
ing was three times pierced by shell
fragments. He has since been home and
is now in Washington to instruct

ANOTHER MIDD
MAN KILLED

Months

Another gold star was added to Mid

in honor Of Private Ludger J, Tousant,

number of other Vermont boys who
died in action on the French front, July

years old He was graduated from ST..
Johnsbury Academy, and was just con-
cluding his freshman year at Middle

broke out and he was among the first
to enlist for active service, He became
member OF Company B., lO2nd Ma.

Tousant was a member OF Alpha Sig
ma Phi fraternity and has many friends
in Middlebury who remember him
well.
In a letter written by him to Presi-
dent Thomas on July 10 only ten days
before his death, he said;
"We are behind the lines Of a most
active front ready to help il needed
The last front that we struck was fairly
quiet, but not 50 with this one. This is
rather hard on us now as we haven't
had any rest since February. Five
months in the trenches without a good
rest is quite a strain on any man, but
still we have to make the best of life
under the present circumstances"
A still earlier letter which President
Thomas received from him is also inter
esting particularly because of its ev.
dence of his loyalty to the College, He
wrote
My dear President Thomas:
No doubt but you have thought NE
very slow in not responding to your
appeal to the Liberty Endowment
Fund before but please do not think
that it was caused by my unloyalty to
the college on the Hill, for it was not.
We have been so very busy fighting

very small one-and l only wish that

conditions at home prevent me from
doing so. Even though | may never
return to Midd | shall never forget it
and shall always appreciate what the
College and faculty did for me,
We have been in the trenches for sew
eral months and our division is certain

trenches.
I've more than appreciated what
Midd did for me this year, Those Cam

couraged me very much and many a
day I've yearned to be back at College

that only wish that l could help more
