KILLED ON EVE
OF WESTERN TRIP

Miss Harriet Taggart, about 35 years
old, who had been spending the summer
in Charestown. " H., at the lone of
i. L. Holden, was run down on South
Main street in Charlestown village at
about 4:30 Tuesday Afternoon by Ford
truck, driven by Earl Holden of Wind
ham. Harold Wilcox of Cambridgeport
was riding with Holden at the time of
the accident and both nien were taken by
Constable c. w, Smith to the Charles
town jail to await an autopsy.
Miss Taggart was deaf, according to
her friends, and at the time of the
accident was walking down the side of
the roadway. he men in the truck
were returning to Bellows Falls from
Claremont with a load of cabbages The
men say that just as they came up be
hind Miss Taggart she Jumped in front
of the car, the right fender and lamp
knocking her down and the two wheels
On that side of the car passing over her
chest. She was instantly killed.
Dr.. Coolidge, who was called imme-
diately after the accident, reports that
there werl no external bruises what
ever, but that the ribs and chest were
badly crushed, verifying the story of the
witnesses that the wheels passed over
her BODY. The body was taken to the
home of F. T. Holden.
Miss Taggart was not well known In
Charlestown. Her home was in Glare
mont and She and a friend were plan
ning to leave this week on a trip to
California
Both Holden and Wilcox say that
they were not driving more than l5 miles
an hour at the time of the accident
which seems probable in view of the
fact that the truck was heavily loaded
