Yes, but don't you think that that would be
very lonely life for woman? just imagine
what her existence in boarding house would

room every night as soon as she had her dinner
and mediate about the way in which fate had
treated her. She absolutely wouldn't have any.

EXPRESS CATCHES HIM

WinooslSi, Sept 16.-Taken unawares,
J. w. Gregory, prominent Waitsford
lawyer, was killed Saturday By a
Yestbound Central Vermont passenger
train, his mangled body being hurled SIS
feet TO the surging rapids Of the Winoos-
HI river below the twin bridges.
Mr.. and Mrs Gregory were visiting
at the home of j. FL Jacobs in this
village. He started this morning at Q
TO take some pictures of the rugged
scenery at the Winooski gorge, about
two miles distant. Twin bridges span
the river here at a great hight and Mr..
Gregory had set up his apparatus at
the further end Of the first bridge to
photograph the power plant OF the Bur
lington light and power company.
Busy with his work, the roar of the
torrent below and bis focusing cloth
shut out the noise Of the approaching
passenger train. He did not know Of
the danger until the engine was upon
him.
A few terror stricken people saw his
body thrown nearly across the bridge
and then dropped to the stream below
The maugled remains were recovered
in about 20 minutes. II is believed he
was killed instantly.
The selectmen and health officers of
WinoosH were notified and after view
ing the body ordered it removed to the
house Of Mr.. Jacobs, where it was pre-
pared to be taken to Waitsaeld for
burial Afr Gregory was IS years old.
