On Saturday afternoon, Herbert
Parker of Sutton, while jumping from
the Montreal express train was
thrown under the cars and his legs
were almost literally severed from
his body. He lived short time IN
great agony. Mr.'Parker was In the
employ of Cross & Bradley of St.
Johnsbury, and had been north on a
commercial tour, and, it is supposed,
was intending to stop at Burke or go
home to visit his parents and dying
sister over Sunday. The train does
not stop at West Burke usually, but
slowed up at the station, and young
Parker took the chance of safely get
ting off. He swung under, and it is
presumed that the drawing-room car
passed over him. He was a man OF
exemplary habits and character, and
the circumstances connected with the
case are peculiarly sad. He lost a
young and beautiful wife only a few
months ago, and his only sister is
now lying at the point of death at
the home of her father, Joseph Park
