In Winooski, and as they were too in
toXlcated to realize the situation. nei-
ther able to get the horse out, the AMI
NAL stayed there till the train which
leaves here at II 10 p. m. came along
and killed the horse. The forward
truck of the engine was thrown from
the track, but by hard work it was got
on the track so that the train reached
Essex junction only 10 minutes late.
The men were taken aboard the train.
but their condition was such that tLev
