Animal Owned by Truman f. Mead

Which Had Become Loose

A work horse owned by Truman Il.

this morning when the animal was
touched on the head by one of two live
wires which had fallen across a field be-
longing to the farm. A current of 10,-

and Arthur Allen, also Of West Dunn
merSton. The line, composed of three
wires. runs along the edge of Il field and
at one corner almost right angle turn
is made. Since last Saturday two of
the wires became loosened from the pole
on the corner of the lot, and after swing
ing free they were suspended over the
field. Between I and s O'Clock this morn
ing. Mr.. Mead and his two helpers were
driving out into the field to husk corn.
Without noticing anything unusual the
horse walked into tEe wires. There was
a momeutary flash and instantly the

AFTER COLLISION
BrattIeboro Car Registered by Rufus
HoughtOn, Knocks Down Man in

After running into a man and knock
ing him down and then coIliding with a
pole in Greenfield, Mass, two occupants
of a Chevrolet car registered under the
name of Rufus HoughtOn of BrattlebOrO
abandoned the machine early last eve
ming and took to the tall timberS, ap-
parently thinking they had injured the
man seriously. The man, who is Frank
Martin, employed in Charles A Thay-
er'S Sunny Dell greenhouses, was only
shaken up, aside from receiving few
bruises, and returned to his work this
morning. He is about so years old.
The two men were driving along
School street when they ran into Mr.
Martin and knocked him over. Then
along without undertaking to see how
much Mr. Martin was hurt, but their
flight was interrupted by the bursting
of a tire. which caused the car to run
off the left side of the road and bang
into a telephone pole.
Having failed to get away in their
machine the two occupants took to their
heels and the police were unable to To-
cate them. The car carried the YER
mont number plates 36T73 which is
listed under the name of Rufus Hough-
ton of Brattleboro in the secretary of
