Saturday night man named Patrick
lyman. late of Quincy. Mass, was
found in the road near the overpass in
West Derby with one leg in bad shape,
the knee cap being completely torn off.
He was removed to his boarding place
in Newport and fixed up temporarily.
He was sent to st. Johnsbury Satur-
day night and taken to the hospital
for treatment which we are informed
was withheld until it could be ascer-
tanned who would be responsible for
the expense incurred in the operation.
This may be necessary from business
standpoint of hospital, but it does
not seem humane to allow patient to
suffer from ten to twenty hours be-
cause of the question of money. Mr..
lyman commenced work at the granite
sheds Saturday morning. Intoxication
is thought to be the indirect cause of
the accident, while for the immediate
cause it is thought he was hit by
train.
