CABOT
Walden Auto Smashed Tile to Have
Been Used in Roadbuilding.

About | o'clock last Sunday morning.
people living near the gristmill were
aroused from their quiet slumbers by a
crashing sound. Upon investigation, they
discovered that Jewett Laird of Walden
had run his auto over some tile, smash
ing dozen or more. These tile were to
be used in constructing the piece OF
road opposite the grist-mill and extend
ing to the end of the sidewalk near DR..
Burbank's. This piece of road had been
guarded at each end by placing timber
about two feet high across the road
with lantern suspended from the tim
bers, at each end of the road, so that
travellers could easily see where to turn
down past the mill. Had the auto gone
"a few inches to the right, it would have
plunged into deep ditch, where the tile
was to be used S. j. Norris, who is
overseeing the rebuilding of this piece Of
road does not see any need of anyone
making mistake in the right way to go
and has kept the road well lighted and
fenced every night.
