Spencer Roberts of Granville, has discovered a deposit of lead and silver, but whether it can be found in quantities to pay development remains to be seen. Recently he blew out forty-five pounds of lead and silver bearing rock which he has sent to be analyzed. Mr. Roberts has spent years among the mines of Missouri and Colorado and declares that all the indications of minerals in those states are to be found in the Shaftsbury rocks. Mr. Roberts says the mineral lies in the fissure between two rock formations, the same as elsewhere. He does not profess to be a wizard of gone "nutty" over the find, but is confident that silver and lead in paying quanties can be mined in Vermont.

Mother Not Surprised to Learn of the Awful Fate of Her Son. Harry Goodspeed, eighteen years of age, only son of the late James Goodspeed of North Pawlet, Vt., was instantly killed Saturday on the east side of Lake St. Catherine, when his automobile, containing five young girls and himself, turned turtle, the girls escaping with slight injuries and the machine being only slightly damaged. The accident occurred some distance beyond Gray Gables, the Charles McFadden cottage, and was in the town of Poultney (Vt). The road there is very narrow and dangerous. Young Goodspeed who is known as a reckless driver, stated to the girls shortly before the catastrophe that they were at twenty-five miles and hour and would be making fifty in a minute. A Welsh picnic from West Pawlet was at the Forest house, with the party being Lizzie and Sarah Hughes, of West Pawlet, Hazel Nelson of West Rupert, Winnie Williams and Beatrice Griffiths of West Pawlet. Goodspeed, it is understood, gave a general invitation for anyone to have a ride in his machine and these five little girls accepted the invitation. How any of them escaped death is hard to understand., as three were pinned under the machine, one of them, Sarah Hughes, being in the front seat with the driver. When the accident occurred Goodspeed was in the act of lighting a cigarette, both hands being off the wheel for a moment. The auto plunged down a four foot bank, turning over, the corner of the seat crushed the driver's head. His neck was also broken. A slight quiver, when Miss Hughes spoke to him, was the only movement made. She managed to crawl from under the car and then assisted Miss Williams out of the rear seat. Miss Nelson they were unable to release, as she was held down by the car, although uninjured. She remained in this plight for about three quarters of an hour, when she was released by Myron F. Roberts of Rupert, who rode by in his car, but after going a short distance returned to investigate, having seen the overturned car, but thinking it was deserted when he passed. The girls had become scatted in their fright. Dr. A. J. Greenwood of Poultney was summoned, but the young man was past all help and the children's fright was their most serious injury. Griffith Lloyd, a photographer of Granville, N.Y., was on the opposite shore of the lake and arrived at the scene within a hour of the accident. He took a picture of the car, which was published in Monday evening's Troy Times, also the picture of the girls which appears on this page. This was taken as soon afterward as he could get them together at the Forest house on the west side of the lake, where the picnic was being held. The girls from left to right are as follows ; Lizzie Hughes, Sarah Hughes, Hazel Nelson, Winnie Williams, Beatrice Griffiths. The Hughes girls are sisters and all are from West Pawlet, Vt., with the exception of Hazel Nelson, who resides in West Rupert, Vt. I might be able to make a copy of the girls photo. If you think one of these girls could be a relative let me know. Joan

John Williams, residing somewhere in the vicinity of North Granville, lies in the Albany hospital with a gun shot wound in his abdomen about the size of a stovepipe hole. The party responsible for this wound is Louis Stephens, who is said to be a resident of Whitehall, and a brother-in-law of Williams. According to orthodox ports, the two men quarrelled over family matters whenever they were together. It is said that Stephens was the aggressor. Last week the two met and the usual rumpus was indulged in. One word followed another until Stephens lost control of himself and pulling out a revolver fired shot at Williams that penetrated his abdomen. He then fled and Dr. Sumner was called to attend the wounded man. The wound was of such a serious nature that Williams was shipped to the hospital in charge of Poormaster Thomas of Middle Granville. Stephens was noticed in Whitehall Saturday by Officer Fadden, after several days' hiding, and Chief of Police Walsh of Granville, was notified. he ordered the man's arrest and, accompanied by Deputy Sheriff Whiting, went over in an automobile and brought the prisoner to Granville. Judge Martin sent him to Salem jail to await the result of Williams' injuries, and the action of the grand jury.
