nate fate of NJ. L. Aiken of this city
last Friday, who had for passengers Mr..
and Mrs George w. Ward of New York,
the former travelling salesman. The
party left Barre last Wednesday and
were covering the smaller towns in the
northern part of the state. They ran
into considerable rain and found the
roads very bad although not impossible
until at Belvidere Corners. Here a small,
temporary bridge, erected in lieu Of
new cement bridge in construction was
completely enyeloped in water, as was
the highway on either side. Rain Thurs
day night and all day Friday had swol-
len small stream in the locality TO such
an extent that il oyerfowed and blocked
traffic. Mr.. Aiken had negotiated most
of the distance through the water when
suddenly a front wheel dropped into a
hole made by truck which got stalled
the day previous and water Immediately
entered the carburetor, with disastrous
effects to the engine, Residents were
soon to the rescue with planks, which
were placed high and dry to the ear and
the occupants made their way to terra
firma, The high water had subsidized suf-
tieiently Saturday morning to enable dis
locating the car and after some adjust
ments the party proceeded to st. Adams
and Burlington, where the passengers
made stopover, Mr. Aiken returning to
his home in this city. Altogether 300
miles were Travelled, covering nearly a
complete circle with Barre as starting
point.
