This is a very remarkable case and
the man shows tenacity of life al
most unheard of. That he did not
freeze to death on that coolest night
of the winter, while lying out IN the
snow, hatless, and in a condition that
invited death is wonderful thing;
but that he has been able to stand
thawing out, the loss of his hands,
and, later, the loss of his feet by am
putation, is a thing that surprises
everybody. Up to the time of the
amputation of the feet, the railroad
company had taken care of him, but
when the doctors met for this opera
ton the selectmen of this town were
notified that the town would be held
responsible for further expenses. The
selectmen investigated the matter
and came to the conclusion that the
railroad was responsible for neglect
in not instituting search at once, when
it had been ascertained that the man
had been lost from the train. and Sec
ondly that the accident occurred in
Coventry, not in Barton, and that
if there is any liability, except
against the railroad company, it is
upon the town of Coventry. Some
complaint has been made against the
selectmen, but they believe their po-
sition is legal one.
