EX. GOV. PROUTY KILLED
Automobile Crashes Into Cana
uian Pacific Fast Freight at
Waterville, p. q.

While EX.-Gov, George H. Prouty of
Newport with his chauffeur Jesse Blais,
was on his way to Lennoxville, P, O..
Monday morning to take the train for
Jackman, Me-, his auto crashed into a
fast freight on the Canadian Pacific and
he was instantly killed, His body mangled
beyond recognition was found 40 feet
from where the auto struck the train. A
short distance away was found his chauf-
feur, unconscious but still living and he is
now in critical condition at the Sher-
brooke hospital with broken arm and
leg, conclusion of the brain and probably
other injuries.
As has been his custom during the sum
mer, Mr. Prouty made an early start from
his home in his machine to Lenoxvile,
where he would take the train to his bus
mess in Jackman, Me There was a heavy
fog this morning and as Mr.. Prouty was a
trltle late, the car was making good speed
The bell at crossing has been out of order
for the last few days and has been ringing
continuously so thatif the men in the auto
mobile heard it they paid no attention to
it, in all probability.
The crossing is a particularly bad one
and there have been other accidents there.
The first thing the men on the train knew
was when they heard the crash and then
they ran to aid of the injured. They found
the large twin six Packard a total wreck
and distance away found the men. The
body of Mr.. Prouty was taken to the un-
dertaking rooms and Blais was taken to
the hospital, where he lies now.
The body of former governor was taken
to his home in Newport.

Fuel Recommendation

The following are submitted to Local
Fuel Committees for such action as
seems desirable in each community:
|. All churches shool-buildings tene-
ments, hotels and blocks previously using
domestic sizes of anthracite should burn
as much as possible of No, l buckweat
or of bitumnons and should use such for
banking fires at night and thus release
an equal amont of domestic sizes Of
anthracite for household use.
2. Churches should at once prepare
to unite or to hold their services in their
respective chapels or vestries such action
on their part to begin Immediately
after Christmas.
3. All special or inspectional meetings
of fraternal organizations should be
omitted if consistent during the months
of December, January, February and
March.
H. Each househoulder who can should
use No. buckwheat for banking his fur
ance at night and should resort to all prac-
ical methods possible for saving coal.
5. The starting of furnace fires in
residences should be delayed as late as
practicable; during the fall and spring
firesplaces or oil heaters should be used
and plans should be considered at once
for banking houses and for putting on

Just a line to let you know that we
had a glorious Fourth and big
time. Just got settled few days
before the Fourth and a nice place,
and nice and warm. We are near
a large city here and was down all
day yesterday and all the stores were
decorated with flags and the u. S.
flag was in the middle of them. We
were reviewed by an officer this
morning. Those stores made me
think of the States, because they were
so large and had a lot of stuff in them.
How did you spend the Fourth up
there? | will send you a program
of the Fourth in France and some
program too, and | had fine time
and did not have to get drunk
either. So do not let it bother you.
Did they have any celebration up
there? We had fine dinner yester-
day also. Hope you are all we'll as
| am in the best of health.
