John 5. Martin Victim Of Pc
culiar Accident
WAS HIT BY FALLING TREE
SpIintered Butt Of Tree Trunk Was
Forced Back Against Him, Break
ing Both Legs and severing
an Artery.

With both legs broken and an artery
severed by falling tree which he was
chopping down, John s. Martin, one OF
Ndlliamstown's most popular and re-
spected young men, bled to death IN
the woods of P. G. Hurlbuts farm yes
terday afternoon before assistance could
be rendered him. The accident happened
on the first day that he went To work
for Mr. Hurlbnt. 1t was not through
carelessness that he lost his life. but
because Of the extraordinary falling Of
the tree, which no one could have fore.
seen.
The young man, with Mr.. Hurlbut,
went to the woods about quarter Of
mile from the house in the morning
and spent the forenoon chopping. When
noon came, the younger man was fust
about half through telling tree, and
replied to Mr.. Hurlbut, who spoke about
going to the house for dinner, that only
a few strokes would be necessary to
complete telling the tree. So be re-
doubled his efforts and as the was about
to fall he stepped up the steep bank,
q few feet directly back Of the tree.
Instead OF breaking of sharply, the
tree split and the splintered butt was
shot back with great force against Mar
tin. The bone Of the right leg between
the thigh and the knee was broken and
the flesh was cut as clean as il done
with knife. The left leg was hit near
the ankle and both bones Of it were
broken. The young man raised himself
up from the ground and exclaimed.
Both my legs are broken" The gush
ing Of blood also showed that an artery
was severed.
The injured man was so heavy that
it was impossible for Mr.. Hurlbut to
carry him home, so he ran for assistance
But before he could return with aid, the
young man had passed away where he
lay on the ground having bled 10 death.
