The strange actions of Fred Martins
dog at certain point in the river here
where there is a thick growth of under
brush, has led to the belief that the body
of one of the young men who were drown
ed here few weeks ago has lodged there.
This belief is strengthened by the fact that
black handkerchief has been found near
that place and it is known that Alexander
was in the habit of carrying one. At this
particular point the dog banks and plunges
into the river and seems DESTROYS of get
ting at something underneath. Why a
thorough investigation was not immedi-
ately begun the correspondent is unable to
state.

THE VERMONT PHOENIX.

Phillips's started for some bottles of medi-
cine which were in the satchel and climbed
in at the side door of the baggage car. Be-
fore he had secured the medicine the train
started and as the baggage was piled high
against the end door he concluded to ride
there as far as Windsor. 1t was rainy
day and the platform of the Windsor sta
tlon was wet and slippery Unmindful of
this he jumped from the side door of the
car before the train had stopped and lost
ms balance, after attempting to gather
himself once, and fell under the car near
the rear truck. Instantly he clutched the
truss rod and brake beam and was carried
along with the car or he would have been
cut in two lengthwise. As it was his right
leg was just enough in advance of the
wheel to prevent the wheel running over it
and was horribly mutilated. In this posi-
ton he was dragged 80 feet and the train
had to be started backward before he could
be removed. His sister, who had come TO
the station to meet him, witnessed the acct
dent. When asked by the baggage master,
James Griffin, why he jumped, he replied,
81 wanted to help my wife and babies of. :"
He was taken to his wife's fathers, where
ether was administered and the leg ampu-
tated eight inches below the body by DR..
Richmond and son, father and brother of
Mrs. E. S. Munger of this place, and two
other physicians. 1t was while under the
influence of ether that the rejection of the
shock came, from which he lacked sufficient
strength to rally, and died at $3.50. The
body lay in state until 10 o'clock Tuesday
morning, when funeral services were held
at the Roman Catholic church, of which he
was faithful and devout member. He
had large number of friends in Windsor,
who were also shocked by his sudden death.
Seventeen friends from here attended the
funeral, being kindly passed over the road
by Assistant Superintendent H. f. Samp-
son. They carried with them pillow and
cross and bunch of lilies. There were SO
carriages, mostly double teams, in the pro-
cession.
Mr.. Phillips was 30 years old last Jan
uary and had lived here three years, sue
ceeding John Doherty as station agent.
During those three years he had proven
himself to be man of good business capa-
bilities, was even tempered and of a jovial
disposition, thoroughly honest and reliable,
and had won many friends, Before com.
ing here Mr.. Phillips was telegraph opera
tor at Windsor. He carried an insurance
of $1,000 in the Equitable Life Assurance
company, the policy being taken out only
a few weeks ago.
