LOST ONLY A FINGER
Although Hit BY Train And In Danger
Of Losing Life.

Burlington. Feb. 23.-W Wonderful pres
ence of mind probably saved the life of
John d. Burke of Park street, yard
master for the Rutland Railroad COM
pany, yesterday morning, when he was
struck by a freight engine. 1t was
only by hanging onto the front of the
engine that he was able to prevent him
self from being run over.
The accident happened about 10 O'Clock,
when Mr. Burke, who has been with the
road for quite while, was walking up
the track south Of the Maple street
crossing. He heard the engine behind
him but thought it was on another
track and made no attempt to get out
of the way. The engine struck him,
but Burke was quick enough to catch
hold of a bar. He was carried along
in this manner for distance of about
Sd feet before the engine was stopped.
An unsuccessful attempt was made to
secure medical assistance at once, for
Burke was bleeding badly from a scalp
wound and one hand appeared to be
mangled.
When it was found that no physi-
clans were near at hand, Mr.. Burke was
placed in hack and hurried to the Mary
Fletcher hospital He stood the journey
well and was conscious all of the way,
although he was bleeding profusely. At
the hospital, it was found necessary to
amputate one finger but it is believed
the others can be saved The scalp
wound was also sewed up. II is thought
probable that the engine first struck
the man on the head, causing the scalp
wound and that the fingers were ehewed
by the wheels in the second that they
remained on the track before he caught
hold with the other hand and pulled
himsaIf I'm

IN BIG COAL MINE FIRE
Flames Are Raging Through Mine No, S
of Western Coal & Mining Co. Near
Lehigh, 0kla.-Majority of Men
Got Out Before Imprisoned.

McAlester, Okla, Feb. %. Reports to
the state mine inspector here to-day said
that eight bodies have been taken from
mine No. 5 of the Western Coal and
Mining company at Lehigh, Okla, IN
which fire broke out yesterday at IL
o'clock. Fifteen or twenty miners were
imprisoned in the mine when the FIRE

casualties COMPRISE the eight who are
known to be oead and one other man
who is reported to be missing The other
miners were brought to the surface alive
during the course OF the night.
II is fortunate that the death list IS
rot greater, because 100 men were at
work when the flames were discovered,
most of whom escaped.

Oklahoma Democrats Split Even
For Wilson and Clark
1T WAS EFFECTED TO-DAY
Ten Votes Will Be for New Jersey Man
and Ten for the House Speaker in
the National Convention to Be

adopted the report of the Wilson floor
leader, pledging ten delegates for Wilson
and ten for Clark.
Wilson supporters won in the first
skirmish yesterday afternoon. The test
came in deciding the method Of select
ing committees. Adherents of Clark and
Harmon suggested that the representa-
tion be by counties, but the Wilson men
demanded representation by judicial dis
tricts. The motion came first from the
Clark forces, but quickly leaders Of the
Wilson faction offered a substitute, in
turn followed by a motion by Clark
man to table the substitute
The first ballot was announced as a
victory for the Clark contingent. 3S3 to
1923, but the vote was challenged and a
second ballot showed an even vote, 293
or half for each. BY an aye and nay
vote ii was decided that tie vote does
not table a motion, and in selecting the
committees the Wilson plan prevailed
Judge Thomas Doyle Of the criminal
court of appeals, an avowed Harmon
man, was selected as temporary chair
man of the convention by the state cen
tral COMMITTEES, and his selection was
unanimously approved by the conven-
tion.
It is contended by party leaders here
that the divided delegation decided upon
to-day precludes any Oklahoma votes
being cast for Harmon. At the Balti-
more convention 0klahoma's entire
strength will be thrown to either Clark
or Wilson, as soon as one of them
shows majority in the balloting.

GAYETY AT GODDARD.
A Party With Colonial Features Was
Given Last Night.

A Washington's birthday party, in the
program OF which was included the
stately minuet of the clden DAYS, was
and il proved to be one of the most de-
lightful affairs ever held at the school.
There was a large attendance, and in
consequence the treasury OF the athletic
association was enriched to the extent
of 1854.
The party was held in the upper as
sembly room and the entertainment
opened with selection by the school
chorus. This number was followed by
the introduction of tableaux representing
titles of books, an opportunity being az
forded for guessing the titles. Next came
colonial couple, garbed in the costumes
of Washington's time, and they went
through dainty minuet. These char
acters were taken by Miss Helen Aver
i'll and Clayton Spencer. A Riga jig jig
medley. excellently given by Misses Mar
ion and Mary Dole, Usher. Templeton,
LaLime and Ella Calef, concluded the
program proper, although between the
figures OF the modern dance, which came
next, Misses LeBarron, Quinlen and Stur-
tevant sang solos.
The school orchestra played for the
dance, and the three booths and fish
pond did thriving business, the booths
dealing in candy, food and punch. The
members Of the athletic association wish
to extend their appreciation to the fol-
lowing firms for contributions Of candy;
Candy kitchen. Hendricks. Red Cross,
Laws. Vermont Fruit Co. and Barre drug
store; also to the families which con.
tributed food to the food booth, and t.
