Some bicyclsts need to be admonished
that they have not yet acquired the right
of way over pedestrians, at least when rid
ing upon the sidewalk. AS Mrs. Dorr
Clough and Mrs. Oliver Houghton were
walking toward home at dusk Friday even
ing young woman bicycist came up be-
hind them Just below the Methodist church
and attempted to 60 between them. The
women heard no sound of bell or any
other warning and they were suddenly
thrown aside and the young woman fell
from her Wheel After an impudent re-
mark about "getting out of the way when
the bell rings" the young woman rode on.
Mrs. Houghton was not badly hurt, but
Mrs. Clough was severely bruised on one
hip, which brought on an old rheumatic
trouble besides giving her severe nervous
shock.
Walter Mooney will think twice before
he jumps again from an express train
when it is running from 20 to 30 miles an
hour. He and young man, named Pratt,
boarded the Sunday morning paper train
at Brattleboro last Sunday-Pratt bound
for Bellows Fall and Mooney for Putney.
Pratt had the mileage book and upon
handing it to the conductor two fares to
Bellows Falls were torn out. For some
reason Mooney was not told of this fact
and he prepared to get off at the station
here, expecting that the train would stop.
The station was passed and the train gave
no signs of stopping and without giving
thought to the consequences Mooney
acted upon his first impulse and jumped
off, holding onto the hand rail to ease him
self down. This swung him around
toward the train bnt fortunately he wa:
not thrown under the wheels. The dis
lance from where he first struck the ground
and where he finally brought up is various
ly estimated at from Is to 40 feet HI
received no injury besides slight bruises
