Mrs. Wei bet's nine months old babe is ill of broehial trouble and hor mother, Mrs. Clinton Grimm went over to be with her today. Because she was told by her parents that a little baby sister born to Mr. and Mrs. Frank Hamilton, of Hartford City Thursday afterwon, wa found in a woodshed in the rear of the Hamilton home, a small daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Hamilton caused the report to spread among the children ! at school Thursday afternoon and [ when the news reached the parents ' considerable excitement was caused in * that part of the city. An investigation I disclosed the fact that the little girl [ had only been told this in an effort ' to satisfy her curiosity. The stork de * livered as usual. < The ploughing up of a half dollar < bearing the date of 1840 on the T. C. i Neal farm, west of Montpelier, recalls j to the minds of older Montpelier cit ' izens the Bidgy Graves family, who * formerly owned the land. The Grave. I were supposed to possess a fortune In ] cash totaling about 120,1100 and as < there were no banks in that section * of the county In the pioneer days. J much of the money was believed to j have been huried on the farm. The ' discovery of the half dollar, which ! shows signs of having been buried ] many years, substantiates the belief < that the Graves family made Mother < Earth a safety deposit for their riches. J One of the remarkable escapes from < sudden death which relieves the grim < record of fatal accidents in automoblh J racing occurred at Brooklands. the < famous English speed course, recently. < and is depicted in a page illustration ' appearing in the June Popular Me chanics Magazine. When approaching , a turn at an estimated speed of about < 119 miles an hour, a tire exploded and [ the car skidded sidewise. For eighty < yards the car tore up the track broad < side on. and then in quick succession < turned two backwards loops. By this J time the banking of the track at the < curve was before the occupants of the I car, and up this slope the car ran J backward to the very edge. The driver. < who had beclutched when the car < started skidding, suddenly accelerated ‘ the engine, the clutch going in with a J thing. Strips froiu the bursted tire [ had become entangled in the chain. < locking the right-hand wheel. The sud I den acceleration tore these strips [ away, and down the embankment the * car plunged, turning another loop, this ■ time head-on, and dashed off the track. bringing up safely in a plowed ground [ near by.
