J.R.NUTE WAS HURT TODAY
Died This Afternoon Without Regaining
Consciousness Had Resided
in Barre for Many
Years.
J.R.NUTE WAS HURT TODAY

James r. Mute, engineer at Jones
Bros granite plant, was so seriously
injured just before seven O'Clock TINS
morning by the bursting of throttle
valvc to large air compressor, into
which be was turning the steam, that
he died this afternoon without regaining
consciousness.
The accident is thought TO nave been
caused by contact of live steam from
the boiler wiih water which had re.
manned in the valve from the day be-
fore, the combination making a pressure
too great for the pipe to stand.
The pipe burst with crack like the
report Of gun and large part Of the
five-ineh pipe full Of steam under a
heavy pressure from the boiler was
[ rown directly into Mr. Nute's face
and he was struck in the mead by
piece Of the flying metal. The engine
room was filled with steam in an in
slant, but the flow was quickly shut
off by the fireman, Martin Bancroft,
who climbed 60 the top OF the boiler
and closed the main valve there.
Mr.. Mute was hurled back from the
compressor and his head struck pro.
jeoting corner. Of a partition and he fell
to the floor writhing in agony. Doctors
w. ID. Reed and j. w. jackson were
summoned and the injured man was
taken to his home which is just across
the street from the sheds.
Upon the arrival Of the physicians
he was found to be badly scalded all
over his face and neck and the skin.
was scalded from both arms TO the
elbows. Two wounds were found in
MS scalp from the flying metal but
these do not appear to have fractured
the skull. =
The physicians stated that he did
not regain consciousness from the time
of the accident to his death which en-
sued this afternoon at i;45 o'clock
II was stated by the physicians that
death was probably caused by inhaling
the steam, as his mouth and throat were
ha,tiy burned.
8 Mr.. Mute ives IS years Of age and
was born in peachain. He had resided
in Barre for a great many eyars and
was well known in the community. He
leaves a wife and seven children.
Yesterday was the first day that the
compressor was run but no flaws are
apparent in the broken edges of the
valve.

A RIGHT SMART SHOWER
CAME LAST NIGHT
An Event Of Great Importance in
Month and More of Drouth. Much
More is Needed.

After n drouth Of month and more.
during which the shortage OF water for
all purposes became very acute, rain
fell early this morning in heavy
shower, just as the weather bureau at
Washington said that Il would. Yer
mont got tine storm which swept east
ward over the northern states, bring
ing welcome rain 10 replenish water
supplies and quench the devastating
forest fires. II was not a long shower
but IL was very welcome.
The prelude to the rain was wind
storm Of large proportions, starting
carly last evening and continuing into
tgo night There was but a slight fall
Of water during the heaviest "wrast-
ling" of the wind. but the rain soon
followed. And during the early morn.
ing the water came down in torrents
for brief spell. The parched eartn
drank up the water as fast as IL fell
and little found its way directly into
The streams. Before the drouth may
be considered really broken a much
greater quantity of rain will need to
fall.
Last nights rain made a considerable
increase in Barre's water supply, the
pressure to-day being 90 pounds, where
II has only registered 80 for the past
two or three weeks.
The shower, though light. was a
godsenl TO the electric companies which
have been handicapped seriously for
weeks. The Consolidated Lighting
company was reduced to the point that
il had intended 10 shut of all its
power from Montpelier todayi but
that contingency was avoided by the
coming of the rain last night They
now have 500 horse power nc the Mid.
dlesex plant and COO horse power at
the Bolton Fans plant. There is
quite quantity Of water in the Wi
nooski river, the stream running an
inch and half over the flashboards at
the Cotton dam in Montpelier, so that
conditions are fairly good as compared
with the pinching times of the last few
weeks.
Montpelier got the full brunt Of the
windstorm last evening, trees and
branches being snapped OF easily. In
front Of the residence of II. l.. Farwell
a tree measuring ten inches in diameter
was snapped off not far from the base,
thus showing the force Of the wind cur
rent.
