No bones were broken, however, and
the injured members will eventually be
as sound as ever. lie was cleaning the

was running only by hand. Had it
been driven by the usual steam power,
he would not have escaped so easily.

jail is being covered with boiler iron. The
sides are now of Iron and the floor of
stone, so that when this Improvement is

Miss Ada A. Hurlburt of Weybridge, a
member of the freshman class at college,
was run into by a boys sled near the
post-Office, Saturday afternoon, and
knocked down and hurt. Her head
struck the sidewalk with such force as
she fell as to render her unconscious.
She was taken into Storms drug store
and restored to consciousness and was
then conveyed to Battell hall, where she
boards. She had so far recovered by
Monday as to be able to attend to her
college work. 1t is high time that some
means were taken to prevent sliding on
the sidewalks. The practice is common
all over the village, and one can go
scarcely ten rods on foot these days
without being warned by the bowls of
coasters to get of the walk and make
way for them. There is a village Ord-
nance prohibiting any cOastng whatso-
ever on the walks and providing for the
punishment of offenders, and 1t should
be enforced. An arrest or two would
do more good than unlimited talk
