! however, for 1t meant an all-night ride
| for some Of the motorists. The Rutland
Herald tells the story thus: Two Of the
| machines took the right road and arrived
home in fairly good season, but the rest
Of the cars and occupants were treated
to an all.night ride. They failed TO
take the right turn, and as one driver
expressed it, supposed they were near
Rutland until they saw a sign which read
nine miles to White River Junction. The
cars arrived in Rutland at intervals on
Monday morning from 7 to o'clock

coal could easily be put in very few
bags, while upon the ground the mystic

Through some manner the trap in the
bottom Of the wagon was released after

black trail was very conspicuous down
the road and along the street to drive
way, where all evidence Of coal vanished.

had happened while driving over a side.
