Provoncha Loses Hand.

While scrapping with three other
fellows on the station platform Sunday
night about 10 o'clock Sidney Provoncha
lost his left hand under the milk train.
The conductor of the train saw some
thing dark under the platform and
thinking he had run down someone
stopped the train. He found that
Provoncha's hand was crushed and that
the three fellows with him had dis
appeared. The train men wanted to
take him to the St. Johnsbury hospital
but he refused. Drs. Lanphear, Cleas-
by and Wells removed the hand just
above the wrist. It is dangerous
business to "fool" around a railway
station platform when trains are due
or even when you do not think them
coming. Provoncha's wound seems to
be getting along nicely and it is hoped
will heal rapidly.
