al Guard participating in the national
military manoevres at Mount Gretna,

heat. Ernest Gross, Of Montpelier,
private in Co. Il, was SO overcome

but rot critical. All others who were
overcome by the heat recovered.
The Vermonters are in the third
brigade under the command of Col.
4. O.. Allen OF the 18th infantry. In
speaking of the Vermonters one press
correspondent says: Gail comport
themselves with a certain dignity
which contrasts vividly with the
loose, careless indifference to disci-
pline observed. by the District of
Columbia troops.o The water quss-
ton is the worst thing the Vermont
ers have to contend with. The water
has all been condemned as unfit for
use but as boiled water is difficult to
get the men drink from the springs
and streams and take their chances.
Arm Torn Out by Shafting.
Thomas Finnegan, the sixteen year
old son of Mr.. and Mrs. Hugh Finne-
gan of Winooski, met with horrible
accident while at work in the spin
ming room of the WOODEN mills Tues
day. Finnegan, who works nights,
was assisting another employee to
place belt on the shafting, and in
giving the belt twist, the boys arm
was caught under the belt and he was
drawn around the shaft at frightful
speed. At each revolution his body
was thrown ag inst the ceiling, spat-
tering it with blood. The weight of
the body soon began to tell on the
arm, which was tightly wedged be-
| tween the belt and shafting. When
| the unconscious lad dropped to the
J floor below, a distance of twenty feet,
his arm was pulled apart between the
elbow nd the shoulder. His head
and body were also badly bruised by
coming in contact with the ceiling.
Every piece of clothing with the ex-
ception of shoes and stockings was
torn from his body. The remaining
portion of the arm was amputated by
surgeons.
