HORSE VAS KILLED
BY AUTOMOBILE
John Papin's Animal Was Driven By
Clyde Coates When Run Into By
Machine Driven by Leonard
St. John.

A horse instantly killed, wagon con-
siderably smashed up, an automobile bat
tered and the driver of the automobile
detained were the results of collision
late Saturday night between team and
automobile on the Montpelier road be-
tween the residence of G. A. Dodge and
the Dodge bridge. Leonard St. John was
the driver of the motor vehicle and Clyde
Coates Of Summer street held the reins
of the team. The latter was hurled over
the dasher of the wagon but was not
much hurt. The horse and wagon were
the property of John Papin of Barre.
The evidence of the driver of the team
is that St. John was driving his au-
tomobile on the left side Of the road GO
ing toward Montpelier, while Coates was
driving the horse toward Barre; and the
evidence concerning the position of the
automobile was borne out by the state
ment of those who saw the automobile
just after the collision. 1t was stated,
too, that the motor vehicle was pro-
ceeding at q fast rate, and the battering
of the automobile seems to carry the same
impression. Some projecting part of the
automobile penetrated the horses breast,
and the horse succumbed after few
kicks. Both shafts were smashed and
the front axle was bent The automo-
bile, q Maxwell fye-p passenger car, was
bent in the front and the lenses in the
headlights were broken.
The horse lay so near the trolley track
that a passing car touched the animals

The Body of An Aged Man
Had Three Bullet
Wounds
VALUABLES WERE
PILED UP NEARBY
William c. Stacey Was a
Feeble Old Man and Re-
tired Artist

Burlington, Aug. 25.--The body of Will
liam G. Stacy, aged SO, retired artist
living at SO No. Prospect street, was
found lying on the floor of the dining
room of his house shortly after 10 O'Clock
last night by Mrs. Electa Roberts, the
housekeeper, who had come down from
upstairs to investigate three muffled
shots. In his left hand was .22-calibre
automatic seven-shot revolver, and there
were three wounds in the body, one un-
der the heart, second behind the left
ear and a third in the back portion of
the center of the head. The body was
clothed in a union suit, bath robe, slip
pers and stockings.
Whether the man died from self.in-
ficted wounds or whether he was shot
by burglar has not been determined.
To substantiate the burglar theory,
some silverware, spoons, sugar shell
pitchers, etc, were found gathered up in
centerpiece on the table over the body
Of the man, screen in the east window
had been taken out and the window
opened, as was bulkhead entrance into
the cellar. On the table with the gath
ered-up silverware were a silver vase
containing some flowers and an electric
hand lantern, one of the large, portable
stand-up kind, which was lighted, as was
also the Welsbach gas mantle in the
chandelier
The body of Mr.. Stacy was lying face
upwards, with the revolver with three
empty cartridge shells in it held in the
left hand, but on the index finger of the
right hand were powder burns. On the
floor underneath the body was silver
headed cane usually carried by Mr. Sta.
cy, who had been feeble for some time
and little way from the gun was a red
necktie. The latter the members of the
family say they do not recognize as be-
longing to him
According TO members OF the family
the aged man never had any kind of fire.

Where Is All the Coal2

In the House of Representatives on
Wednesday, Representative Huddleston
of Alabama charged the National Coal
association with having spent $4,000 for
advertising, "in an effort to make the
people buy coal now at exorbitant prices,
through belief of an impending short
age"
He declared that there is neither coal
shortage nor labor shortage, but that
there is "a shortage Of common honesty
on the part of the coal operators"
At the same time the anthracite bu-
reau OF information at Philadelphia
gives out figures showing increase in
production and shipment of coal. July
shipments amounted to more than 6,000,-
600 tons and exceeded by 432,743 tons
those for June. There was a decrease Of
1852, ,44l tons from shipments in July
of last year, but it is explained that
this is mostly in the product from wash
cries which produce steam sizes for war
purposes and are not now in operation
Total shipments since April l are 22,-
60S,565 tons, against 3l,l46,536 tons for
the corresponding period in 1916.
The July total IS the largest for any
month since October, 1918.
These statistics seem to give color Of
truth to the charge made by Representa-
tive Huddleston. That the cry has been
raised that consumers must buy now
or suffer, for want of fuel next winter
we know. The people have been told
repeatedly and urgently that they must
get their winters supply in midsummer
or contemplate the prospect of shivering
next winter
The National Coal association may
have something to say in reply to Mr.
Huddleston. If it maintains silence, logi
cal Interpretation by public opinion will
follow.Albany journal
