Rev. Edgar Warren accompanied Mr. Walter B. Farmer, as his guest, to the poultryman's summer meeting at Storrs, Conn., last week, where Mr. Farmer was one of the principal speakers. The trip was made by automobile, and the distance from Hampton to Storrs, 170 miles, covered in seven hours, with an hour out for lunch and three short stops. On the way back, after they had run about an hour, they came to a sign, "Hampton, 7 Miles," which elicited from Mr. Warren the remark, "I knew we were going strong, but I didn't think we were going as strong as that." The sign, however, referred to Hampton, Conn.

Arrested for Manslaughter

Philip Trober of Lewiston, Me., was arraigned in the Hampton Municipal court Tuesday morning on a charge of manslaughter in causing the death of Mrs. Vianna Breed of Seabrook in Hampton Falls Monday evening. Trober's automobile hit the woman while she was crossing the street near the "Line" church in that town. She was knocked down and died soon after. Mrs. Breed was selling fish, and hauling it in a four wheeled cart.

Trober was arrested in Hampton. His capture followed his coming in contact with a pile of sand near the side of the road, through which he was thrown into the gutter, his car being somewhat damaged.

The young man, who is about 30 years of age, was taken to Exeter by Officer Lewis P. Clark of Hampton Falls, where he stated that he was an alien enemy, an Austrian by birth. In his machine was found a quantity of liquor, and the officer who arrested him said that he was badly intoxicated.

He stated that he had been to Ayer, Mass., and was on his way home.

Trober was held without bail for the October term of the Grand Jury. He was represented by counsel from Lewiston, Me., and the State by the County Solicitor, William H. Sleeper.
