 Harold Everts arrived home Sunday from Bridgeport for two weeks vaca- ton. He was on the train that was de- railed last Saturday night at Cornwall Bridge, and had an unusual experience at that time. When Assistant Superln- tendent Carr was injured, Mir Everts at once went to his assistance and succeeded so we'll in caring for him that he was taken to be doctor, and many of the passengers crowded around him begging him to examine them for what they be- heved to be serious bodily injuries. One passenger, with vision of big damage money before his eyes. declared to Mir. Everts that he had broken leg, but soon after the supposed doctor had laughed at his attempted deception, the broken-limbed man was seen sturdily footing it down the track. MT. Eyerts stayed with MT. Carr all night at the latter's request, and the next morning. by which time Superintendent Lake of the N. Y, N. H. & H. R. R. had arrived, MT. Everts was sent from Cornwall Bridge to Canaan on a special train, being the only passenger. He received many compliments from the railroad officials for the presence of mind which he dis played under the trying circumstances.
