TO have been owned and driven by

mall box from a post. then crossed the
road to the left side. ran into the bank
and turned completely over, landing right
side up and facing back the way that
1t had come.
In spite Of all this wild maneuvering
the car was not badly damaged. The
fright front mudguard was damned. the
windshield was broken, and the body was
scratched In places. Otherwise. the car
seemed to be as good AZ ever. and was
driven to Burlington on its own power
Besides the man who was killed. those
In the car were William Dalton of Bridge
port. Conn.,. whose upper teeth we're
forced through his lower lip, and the liga-
ments of his right arm were strained.
while the arm may DO fractured, and he
has many bruises on his body; Larkis
Simonien of Winooski whose wrists were
badly cut and head lacerated; and Bagh-
dasar Agoosdow and Mike Agoosdow,
brothers, living In Winooski. Baghdasar
is badly hurt, though NOT seriously He
has lasceration on the forehead, an eye
gouged out by pieces of the broken wind
shield and other minor injuries. Mike es-
capped with nothing worse than a scratch
on the back Of his head.
Winsiow, who died about half an hour
after the entire party had been removed
to the Fanny Allen hospital, had most of
the ribs on the right side crushed and
injuries to the internal organs which
caused hemorrhages. leading to his death.
His body was removed to the undertaking
rooms Of A. B. Lavigne of Winooski.
With the exception of Baghdasar Agoos-
dow. the survivors OF the accident were
able to leave the hospital Thursday,
though Dalton was rather badly injured.
Dalton and Winslow were operating a
stand In the midway at the Chittenden
county fair at Essex Center. and had
gotten into the automobile at Essex juno
ton to return TO the fair grounds. 1t
Is said. Just what was the cause of
the accident Is not known. Several diff
ferent reports have been circulated to the
effect that another car was concerned in
the affair, but none Of these reports have
been substantiated. All that can be
learned for certain Is that the driver Of
the Cadillac lost control of the car.
There has been some question az to
the ownership of the car. The number
Of the Cadillac is 1918. which is regis
tered In the name of Mike Agooskian Of
Winooski. Mike stated after the acct
dent Thursday. however. that the car
belonged to his brother, Baghdasar. who
was driving it at the time the accident
occurred.
Murick Winslow is a brother Of John
r. Winslow OF Milton. who conducts a.
meat market at ia Cherry street. Be-
sides this brother. he is survived by a
wife and child in Springfield, Mass,
and by his mother whose home is in
Barton, where Winslow was born % years
ago.
