AUTO BUMPED WAGON
AND DRIVER SETTLED
Accident on Park Street Extention
This Morning Caused Little
Damage

John Olin, who lives on the other
side OF the Roaring branch, had for
tunate escape from an accident this
morning that might have had serious
results. AS it was his wagon and
harness were slightly damaged.
Mr.. Olin, driving good looking
black horse that must nave been i'm
ported from the far west Judging
from the brand upon its shoulder, was
coming nto the village this forenoon
and had nearly reached the Park
street bridge when a car with a Kew
York state license bumped into the
open buggy from the rear.
Frightened by the COLLISION the horse
jumped, tore away the whiffletree
and ran. Mr.. Olin was dragged from
the vehicle but apparently was not
hurt. After running short distance
the horse was stopped none the worse
for its experience.
The driver of the car explained that
the brake on his car failed to hold. he
settled the damage to the satisfaction
OF Mr.. Olin and drove on toward the
village.

IN BURNING BARN
Rumor Persists and Refuses To
Be Downed
NO INVESTIGATION MADE
Vermont State Library
StC.y 2oseptlS ! that
Wanderers Used Structure
for Dormit0ry At

There Is in circulation rumor that
two-some place the number at three
-tramps were burned to death in the
fire that destroyed the barn on the
George Harmon farm northwest of
the village Tuesday night. IL is pos
sible to run down the source OF the
rumor but the stories persist in spite
OF the fact that the narrators are un.
able to give any facts to SUI stantiate
their assertions.
There has been no examination OF
the ruins of the barn to prove that
the stories are not true and
thorough search today would be hot
task, as the large quantity OF hay
stored in the building is still burning
and likely to continue to burr for an
other day
Ii Is mere than probable hat tho
st'ries OF the double or triple crema-
tion originated from the fact that the
barn has been hang out for tramps
for long period. During the pres.
ent summer not morning has
passed, according to persons living
near the property, that from two to
six wanderers have not been seen
leaving the barn in which they have
passed the night.
1t is generally conceded that the
barn was struck by lightning during
the severe electrical storm that
passed over this section between
and 9 o'clock Neighbors say that
the building burst into flames instant
ly and in a few seconds was converted
into roaring furnace. They are also
convinced that il would have been i'm
possible for any person sleeping in
tie barn at the time to have escaped,
particularly If dazed by the electric
bolt which started the fire.
The barn was about 30x40 feet in
dimensions and contained at the time
about 30 tons of hay which with the
prevailing price for forage makes a
severe loss for the owner.
SO far as known there has been no
official investigation to determine
whether or not any lives were lost in
the fire aud 1t is not probable that
steps viii be taken unless some facts
are produced to substantiate the
rumors.

barns in this city, and James j.
Gucky JIM Irwin was the motor
man. While coming down the State
street hill about $3.50 a. m. the cars
got beyond his control, probably be-
cause of leaves on the rails, and sped
aong until the first car jumped the
switch at Dwight street
The leading car rammed a corner
of the five-story building and ripped
its way for more than its length into
the ground floor occupied by the
Superior Candy Company. The Sc
cond car followed for third of its
length. The impact tore away the
supporting pillars at the corner OF

OF the brick wall. extending to the
roof. tumblIng down on the two cars,
Sixty men and women guests in the
hotel were awakened by the crash,
and many of them Jumped from their
beds and fed to the street in their
night clothes. Among the guests were
l6 delegates to the state convention
Of the Ancient Order OF Hibernians.
None of these was hurt, though some
occupied the corner rooms on the
third. fourth and dfth floors, which re-
ceived the brunt OF the shock.
