JOSHUA ATWOOD STRUCK BY A GRAVEL
TRAIN.

JOSH ATWOOD STRUCK BY \ GRAVEL
TRAIN.
Joshua Atwood, 81 years of age, was
knocked down and run over by gravel
train near Belden's just before noon on
Wednesday and had both legs cut of
below the knee. He told the train men
who he was and where he belonged, but
soon became unconscious and never
rallied. He was brought to Middlebury
by the tram and taken to DR.. Russe's
office, where he died within an hour.
Mr. Atwood lived for many years in
Shoreham, but for some time past had
been with daughter in the West. On
returning to Vermont not long ago he
took up his residence in Brooksville. No
one appears to have been TO blame for
the accident. The train was backing at
the time, but there was brakeman on
the lookout, who saw Mr.. Atwood and
did his hest to warn him of. Mr.. At
wood is very deaf and probably was not
aware of the danger until struck.

Ih-. sIcaa,er Social.

The social given by the w. A. p. \. in
the Thomas building last Saturday night
was both unique and profitable.
The fact that it was the first thing Of
that kind ever given here created some
little suspicion among the boys. They
were afraid the young ladies would
spring a joke on them that they could
not easily stand. However. one young
man ventured in and partook OF the re
rrcshments, and on coming out in the
street he was under the piercing eye Of
observation. 1t was found that he was
decorated with a small boutoniere to the
lower part Of which was attached a
miniature pair OF bloomers.
The affair was an enjoyable one and
the young ladies took in quite little
purse for their lodge.
