The westbound passenger train over
the st. Johnsbury 81 Lake Champlain
railroad was about an hour late in its
arrival at Cambridge Friday because of
peculiar accident near Danville. Some
distance east of the overpass in that
town band Of gypsies camped Thurs
day night, permitting their livestock to
roam about at will. When the train
came along this morning two of the
horses were feeding beside the track.
The train drove the animals about half
mile until the trestle over the under
pass was reached then both went through
with all four legs. The train crew and
some 90 male passengers on the train
held council but nobody seemed to
know Just what to do. 1t was the con-
census of opinion, however, that the
horses ought to be removed from their
position, both for their own comfort and
in the interests of good train connection
at this point. Fences were raided and a
temporary flooring was laid on the
trestle to the point where the struggling
beasts were and then another htch
came. Nobody wanted to take hold OF
the horses rapidly vibrating legs. Final.
ly half dozen husky gypsy men arrived
on the scene, and the way they rolled the
animals over on their backs and dragged
them across the bridge would lead one to
believe the stunt was part of their daily
routine. The train had been tied W
about an hour.
