SHOWERED MILK
ON WOMAN A. y
Ernest Sprague's Quick 80 Thought
Saved Mrs. Frank kSS Jackson's
Life This Forenoon.

Quick thinking on the part of pass
ing milkman who showercd her with
milk as she came rushing out of doors
from her home on Liberty street prob
ably saved the life OF Mrs. Frank w.
Jackson, whose clothing took fire as she
started to I'll the kitchen stove with old
newspapers this forenoon at l030
o'clock. Although severely burned about
the lower limbs, the body, arms and
face, Mrs. jackson has strong chance
for recovery physicians said at noon.
When Mrs. jackson started to dump
quantity OF newspapers into the stove,
the paper refused to burn, and just as
Mrs. jackson turned them over in the
stove with poker, the top layer blazed
up and her apron took fire Her first
thought was to seek aid. and she started
for the door. The draft from outside
probably served to fan the flames, and
when she had reached the open air the
fire had almost wholly encompassed her.
Ernest Spraguc. OF Brookfield, aged IL.
one of l., b. Dodge's deliverymen, who
finished his daily trip around noon, made
a fortunate appearance just as Mrs.
Jackson came through the door. Seeing
the situation called for prompt action,
the young man seized his largest can Of
milk and before the half-crazed woman
could realize what was happening, he
had drenched her clothing with the milk.
She was then carried into the house and
within a few moments physicians were
alleviating the burns. Mr.. Jackson, who
was at his place of business in the Frank
McWhorter store, was notified. and
neighbors also responded Examination
of the injuries showed that Mrs. Jack
sons burns extended from her knees to
the head Portions OF the flesh on the
arms were quite badly burned, although
the face escaped most of the fire and
the hair was only slightly scorched Not
all of the burns extended deeply into
the flesh and it is believed that the VIC
tim will recover without being perma-
nently disfgured.

I Montpelier & Wells River railroad was
instantly killed this morning few
minutes past I o'clock, when he slipped
and fell beneath a moving freight car
on the tracks just below the Berlin street

dicated that a wheel passed over the

below the crossing
When the accident occurred, the brake
man was standing between two ears
with his hand on the coupling pin

with additional danger during the icy
season and Smith il believed to nave
lost his balance on the ice Just as he
was about to lift the pin from its socket
He fell to the ground and before the
train could be stopped he had been
trailed a distance of several yards. Mem.
