VEST POCKET
ELECTRIC
MOTOR CAR
LyndOnville Woman Has
First of New Type of
Machine

Mrs. w. S. Jeffcrs of Lyndon
vile is the happy possessor of a
Custer motorvehicle, which is
without doubt the only one in the
state, and possibly the only one
in New England. The car is a
comfortable, well-built chair, up
holstered with leather, the mo-
tive power being electricity. 1t
weighs 300 pounds, carries two
batteries, runs at the rate of seven
miles an hour, is provided with
head and rear lights and has
two speeds, forward and reverse
Mrs. Jeffers' attention was first
called to the car from a small
picture which appeared in the
Lyndonville Journal of March 8.
Local automobile agents failed to
find the car in Boston, but it was
finally located in New York, large
ly through the assistance of Miss
Isabel Stern, and it was purchas-
ed from that place.
The simplicity Of the mechan-
ism of the affair, with the ease
of operation, makes it a great
convenience to fortunates as well
as unfortunates. 1t is called the
Custer Car and is manufactured in
Dayton, Ohio. Much interest is
being shown by the village people
in the demonstration of the car as
it glides along in perfect silence.
1t really is a wonder, and Mrs.
Jeffers is to be congratulated on
being the possessor of the car.

MENTAL EXPERT
TESTIFIES IN
MILES CASE
County Court Takes Re-
cess Until Next Tues
day Morning

The case of Miles against Lea
witt was still on trial in Caledo-
MIA county court Friday afternoon
when a recess was taken until
Tuesday morning. The only new
evidence introduced in the case
that was not introduced at the
former trial was the evidence of
Dr.. w. j. Upton of the Green
Mountain Sanitorium in Burling-
ton who had examined the plain
tiff on her mental capacity. The
defense had objected to her tes-
tifying on the ground that she
was mentally deficient. While he
was of the opinion, as an expert,
that Miss Miles is mentally con-
siderably below par, the court de-
cided to admit her testimony in
the case for what it was worth.
Several new entries have been
made on the court docket. The
case of d. T. Gilman, guardian of
Irwin f. Holbrook, against Della
Mulliken has been settled and dis
continued.
A judgment for the plaintiff for
5000 has been entered in the case
of Barton Savings Bank and Trust
Co., against Gertie W. Chesley as
executrix of the estate of Paul
Willard of Sheffield.
On the chancery petition of the
Vermont Granite Quar1ies Co. of
Hardwick against H. A. Black,
secretary of state and Fred B.
Thomas, tax commissioner, for re-
instatement as a corporation a de
cree of reinstatement has been
filed.

the Helping Hand society of St.
Andrews church, leader in the
work of the Rector's aid society
and closely allied with all the
work of the church. She was a
member of the St. Johnsbury
Woman's club and had served on
important committees.
Sarah Evelyn Laughton, was
the daughter of John Wesley and
Rachel Stuart of Bloomington,
Ind, and was born in that city
October 13, 1878. She was edu-
Gated in Bloomington, graduated
from the high school and from
the Indiana State university and
taught for a short time before her
marriage which took place about
20 years ago. Besides her hus-
band she leaves two children, Jo-
sephine, d student at St. Johns
bury academy and Frederick, five
years old. She leaves also two
brothers and two sisters, James
Arthur Stuart, editorial director
of the Rocky Mountain News of

indianapolis, Ind, Mrs. Amelia
Hendrickson of Murdo, S. d., and

perfected for a months stay in
Vermont.

day afternoon at st. Andrews
church at 4 o'clock conducted by
Rev. DR.. A. p. Grint, with buraI
in Mt. Pleasant cemetery.
