to visit his son al Granville, in Addi-
son county. He came by the quickest
public conveyance and by the most di-
rect route and on his arrival here had
been on his way about IA hours. After
spending the night here he expected TO
take the forenoon train for Rochester
on the White River railroad to-day
and might reasonably expect to reach
his destination by 2 or 3 o'clock this
afternoon. He could have reached CHI
cago sooner. He had about an hour
business with his son, but by the most
favorable conditions he could not hope
to reach home before Thursday fore
noon. A month later the return Jour
ney by automobile could be made cas-
ily in four or five hours.
