BRAKEMAN FALLS
AND ONE LEG IS
CUT OFF
Richard Barrett of Rutland In
Accident at No. Bennington
WAS AT WORK ON THE "Y"
Injured Man Hurried to Hospital at
RutIand-Hs Sister Faints
Away.

While boarding an excursion train
at spot known as the south leg" of
the "Y" at North Bennington shortly
after $3.50 o'clock Sunday evening,
Richard Barrett of Rutland, a brake
man on the Rutland railroad slipped
and fell between two cars, having ais
right leg cut off about three inches
above the ankle and the left one lac
Grated.
The train on which Barrett was EN-
ployed for the day, was an excursion
train carrying people from here and
stations north as far as Rutland, to
Lake George and was on the return
trip.
The passengers for North Benning-
ton station had been unloaded and the
train was going on the ~. The
switch being closed against the pas
sage of the train, Barrett jumped off
and opened it. The train then passed
over and Conductor William Gillian
who was on the rear end of the train,
was watching for the light of the tain
mans lantern. He failed to see this
as the train passed over the switch,
and heard some one crying out. He
slgnaled for the train to stop and
then ran out to see what was the
trouble. He found Barrett lying with
in a few feet of the track and the in
iured man cried MY leg is off. BY
this time the remainder of the train
men had come back and they secured
cords and bound the leg up to prevent
loss of blood.
One was then sent for Dr. d. A.
Gleason and another to the home of
Rev. FIR. 7. f. Schaeffer. On the re-
Spouse of the doctor and priest, the
injured man was placed in the rear
car which was cut off from the rest of
the train.
While the physician was dressing
the wound the rest of the crew
brought the passengers to Bennington
and then returned with the train The
car was again attached to the train,
and the trip was made to Rutland as
quickly as possible the train having
right of way.
Barrett was accompanied to Rut-
land by DR.. Gleason and gave an ex-
hibition of pure grit seldom seen, He
asked for chewing gum and when Civ
en- some, chewed nearly all of the way
to this city. He told tae train crew
that he slipped and fell, but could not
tell just how the accident happened.
On the arrival of the train at Rut-
land an ambulance was waiting as
was DR.. S. W. Hammond and the in
iured man was rushed to the Rutland
City hospital.
Barretts sisters had been notified
by some one and were in waiting
when the train came in. The young
est sister, Miss Nellie Barrett tainted
away and was taken into tne station
where she was attended by DR. Glea-
son. She was later taken home in
cab Mrs. Barrett was in waiting at
the hospital
Barrett was, until about three
months ago, employed as foreman of
the line gang of the Rutland Railway
Light and Power company
The physicians who attended Bar
rett stated that they believe mis- chan
ceS of recovery are good.

BENNINGTON LOST
GAME IN FIRST
TWO INNINGS
General EIeCtriCs Took Lead
and Held 1t
WATSON'S BAD ERROR DID IT
Home TEAM From a Bad Begin
ming Made Strong Finish and
Almost Won.
NATSON'S BAD ERROR DID IT

A score of 4 to with only four er
rors by both teams is good baseball
Four hits and II strke-outs is pitch
ing record that is seldom equalled in
semi-professional or big league dia
monds for that matter, but at the
same time it must be admitted that
Corey ought to nave won his game
against the General Electric team or
the new grounds yesterday afternoon
While the inexcusable muff by Wat
son in the first inning gave the Schen
ectady boys the two scores that won
the game there are many unprejudic
ed spectators who express the opinion
that had Corey put into mis- work at
the start the energy and skill that he
displayed during the last seven In
nings the New Workers would have
been easily beaten.
During the first two innings the en-
tire Bennington team showed about
as much life as would be expected OF
nine frogs in the month of December
Snultz, usually a first class man be-
hind the bat and a sharp, hard throw
er. had three stolen bases charged up
against him in the opening inning and
Of the three men who scored, two
were given free passes TO first base
by Corey In the second inning the
first man up put out grounder that
bumped Corey on the shin and rolled
of into the field. A sacrifice and a
safe hit sent the batter around the
bases with the visitors last and win
ming run.
The bump on the shin must have
put an extra amount of ginger into
Corey for during the remainder of the
game he pitched ball which was
wortn going miles to see. Only once
did the Schenectady boys have a
ghost of a chance to score and then
he threw the runner out at the plate
in magnificent style
ShultZ, too, got into the game and
Of the three men who reached first
during the last five innings he threw
out two on attempts TO steal second.
Bennington secured a run in the
third on a base on balls, an error and
hit. but from that stage of the game
the Huckleberry boys appeared to be
At the mercy of Pitcher McAllister.
Almost every Bennington batter hit
the ball, but in nearly every instance
The sphere went straight into a field
er's haads. The Schenectady second
baseman made three assists and a
putout on balls batted by Waters. The
II putouts made by the Schenectady
first baseman is evidence that the in
ield had a busy time.
In the eighth inning Bennington
made rally and for a few minutes
the local fans had hopes of tie
score. With two men out Prindle
smashed a corking single to left and
Cherry and King who had been allow
ed to reach first on attempts to put
out other players both scored. With
Prindle on second a hit by Waters or
Corey who followed would have tied
the score but McAllister let out some
extra speed, of which he had plenty,
and both were retired on infield balls.
The score:

STRANGE MURDER
BY YOUNG GREEK
At BARRE
Shoots Wife Of Employer and
Attempts Suicide
JEALOUSY ALLEGED MOTIVE
After Killing Woman James Mitchell
Fired Bullet into Own Head But
Will Recover.

Barre, July 26.-Mrs. c. G. Mascot,
aged 35, wife of the proprietor OF the
Barre Candy Kitchen, was shot IN the
heart with revolver at 4:30 o'clock
Saturday afternoon by James Mitchell
aged II, clerk in her husbands
store.
They were alone in the tenement
over the store when Mitchell fired two
shots. The first entered Mrs. Nit
chell's heart, causing death instantly
and the other shot took effect in he
breast. Mitchell then turned the re-
volver on himself and put bullet in
to his own head, the ball entering I'M
der the right eye and coming out I'M
der the left ear. He was taken to the
hospital and placed on the operating
table All that he could say was Il
shot my love-
Mitchell was alive late last night
and it is expected that he will recov-
| er. He is a Greek and was brought
to this country Is months ago by Mr.
Mascot who is also a Greek. Mrs.
Mascot was formerly Maud Kelley of
Burlington and is the daughter of Mrs
c. S. Kelley of that city. Mascot
and his wife were married five years.
At the time of the shooting Mr..
Mascot was out walking with his two
children. Mitchell has been acting
strangely for several days. The pol
ice are unable to definitely locate
motive for the murder. 1t is believed
that Mitchell's mind was disordered.
He loved Mrs. Mascot as mother
and, according to reports, Mitchell
was jealous because he thought Mrs.
Mascot mended his brothers clothes
better than his own. 1t is said that
he had threatened the woman before.
