A CLOSE CALL.
Fallen Branch Injuries a
Grafton Man Badly.

Grafton, March 20.-Wheaton 3. Glib
son. LIST, narrowly escaped a fatality at
his home on George hill, two and one
half miles from the centre OF the town,
during the ice storm Of yesterday. AS
result, he now has broken left arm
and his left hip is severely bruised.
The accident occurred at about o'clock
Sunday afternoon, when Mr. Gibson
undertook to cut down a large branch
which had broken off a tree near his
house and fell across the road. The
limb had not entirely broken away from
the tree. and it was with the intention
Of saving Off the remaining fibre of the
wood, that the injured man secured q
ladder and mounted to the height Of
over 80 feet. The heavy coating Of Ice
on the tree and the insecure base of
the ladder. are the cause of his losing
a hold of the tree and falling to the
ground with almost no intervening OBJ
struction.
At first it was thought that there
were one or more broken ribs in ad-
dition to the other injuries, but upon
arrival of DIR. Warren B. Maxwell in
the evening, it was found that broken
left arm and a badly bruised hip were
the principal injuries, while it is
thought slight internal injuries were
also sustained.
MI Gibson is 81 years of age, and
employed in the Upton straw shops.
That he was not killed almost instant
ly, is q mystery to all who have be-
come acquainted with the circum-
stances of his fall. This evening he is
resting as comfortably as possible, but
the process of knitting the arm prom
ises to be an unusually difficult one, both
on account of his age and the nature of
the break

THE DAY AFTER.
Leicester Has Begun TO
Thaw Out Once More.

Leicester, March 20.-Although there
is as much ice scattered around Leices-
ter as after the sleet storm of Feb
ruary, 1898. the damage is much less.
1t is given as a reason that as sap
has begun to rise in the trees, the wood
is less brittle and stands the strain
better The wires are not broken to
such an extent as last year.
The trolley wire Of the Suburban
stood the strain remarkably well, and
IN spite of ice and falling limbs, no
breaks occurred. The Suburban had the
larger part of its trouble with ice on
the Spencer end. The cars were kept
moving last night, but during the night
ice formed on the rails, and the first
car arrived at Spencer this morning at
11.30 in charge of Motorman Timothy
Taylor and Conductor George Parker.
The telephone wires at Wsrren's
corner were nearly all down for some
distance, and a gang of linemen were
1T work all day. A few stray wires
were down through Leicester, but no
poles We're broken. Just over the Wor-
cester line between Hunts corner and
F'airview, the worst tangle of telephone
wires is found Seven poles were brok-
en- and considerable repairing will
have to be done.
