BOY NEAR DEATH IN SAND.
williamstown Youth Was Unconscious
When Dug Out.

Williamstown folks living in the CEN
ter of the village had bad half-hour
late Yesterday afternoon when rumor
took wing that small boy had been
accidentally buried in sand bank at
the rear OF DR.. f. b. Watson's residence.
Enough of the essence of truth was in
the story TO attract goodly fraction
of the population to the sand bank,
where they found Harley Kenerson of
Barre, tea man, Rev. John Irons, pas
tor of the Congregational church, Frank
A. Downs and w. v Grearson, barber,
industriously making the dirt fly II
was learned that George Bushey, sew
en- year old boy, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Lewis Rodney, had been buried by a
oave.in while playing with his brother,
Clayton, and a young Italian lad.
For some minutes the diggers dug
and meanwhile a hurry call was sent TO
the Office of DR.. Joseph A. Wark in this
city. The doctor motored TO Williams
town and reached the sand pit just as
the men were extricating the uncon-
scious form Of the Bushey boy from the
sand. Such medical ministratiops as
are effective in cases of the kind we're
applied and the little fellows anxious
parents soon had the satisfaction of
seeing him restored 70 consciousness, al.
though very weak from his experience.
Last night il was stated that the boy
has a good chance for recovery, unless
traumatic pneumonia, caused from in
haling sand. or some other complication
should develop.
Most people who surveyed the scene
at the sand bank were agreed that the
lad had a very narrow escape. Accord
inc 10 the story of Clayton Bushey, eld-
en- brother Of the near-yictim Of the ac-
cident. the trio were playing under the
shadow Of the hank when a slide sud
denly occurred. With one accord the
older Bushey boy and the little Italian
lad started 10 rin. and when they looked
around the younger Bushey was not 10
10 seen. Rev. Mr.. Irons study was the
first goal of the two lads and after they
had notified the pastor, Frank Downs
and Mr. Grcnrson were summoned 20
the scene. Mr.. Downs, the first 70 ar
rived. led the digging for the relief Of
the boy. Sbovels were procured and for
nearly ZEN minutes-the shovelers said

ENGLISH REPU.SED BY
GERMANS after Violent
HAND TO- HAND FIGHTING

Berlin, March 8, (by Wireless to Say
ville).-The report on the progress of
the fighting given out by the German
War Office to-day is dated March 3, and
reads as follows:
''Near st. Eloi, to the south of
Ypres, the attack yesterday of two
English companies upon our lines was
repulsed after violent hand-to hand
fight. At point near Peronne French
aircraft came down on account of motor
trouble, and the two men on board were
taken prisoners.
s'The French attacks in the Cham
pagne district have been without any
degree of success. The French troops
have been once again driven back into
their positions, with heavy losses.
"To the northwest of Ville-Sur-
Tourbe German troops occupied 2oJ
yards of trenches. French advances in
the forest of Consenvoye and near Ally
and Apremont have been easily repulsed.
Attacks made by our troops to the
northeast of Badenvillers again result
ed in our getting possession of consid-
erable territory. The German front to
the northeast of Celles has advanced
during the last few days distance of
eight kilometres Give miles). The
French have made vain attempts to re,
cover their losses of recent days.
"Near Grodno, in Russian Poland,
the situation remains unchanged. To
the southeast of Augustowo a Russian
force endeavored to cross the river
Bobr, but it was driven back with
heavy losses, 1900 Russians being
taken prisoners. Other Russian attacks
in the country in the northeast of
Grodno broke down in front of the
German lines. To the southwest of
Kolmo the Germans made advances. At
a point to the south of Kysziniec a van
guard of German troops was forced
back by the superior strength of the
enemy. To the northwest of Przas ,sz
the Russians endeavored to feel their
way and attempted an advance. Sew
eral Russian night attacks to the east
of Plock have been repulsed.

weighed 80 pounds when he was eight
months old, but he was getting too big
for his age, and his parents "banted -

only 70 pounds-accent on the

This picture shows him at three
months old, bright, happy, contented,

he will sit up if you help him and will

House and Senate Conferees Deadlocked
Over Rural Credits Amendment to
the Agricultural Appropriation Bin
-Demoe ratio Measures Threatened
By Associated Press.

Washington, March 3-The Sixty
third Congress swung into the last TWEEN
ty.four hours of its life to-day con
fronted with mass and jumble Of
work which must be done before noon
tomorrow. Both House and Senate will
be in practically continuous session until
adjournment, One by one, the aecumu-
lation of bills and resolutions was be-
ing disposed of and sent to the White
House for President Wilson s signature,
but the closing hours were not without
threats of failure of some measures.
To-day House and Senate conferees
are deadlocked over the rural credits
amendment to the agricultural appro-
priation bill; there was likewise dead
lock over the railway mail pay pro-
visions in the postotiice bill. Ultimatums
to abandon the disputed points or let
the bills fail were being exchanged
between the contending sides. No diff
ferences appeared in the other large
bills which were not sure to be com
posed.
Much Work Remains to Be Done
So much work on the appropriation
bills remained to be done that admin
istration leaders did not hope to see
any of the Democratic legislative pro.
gram passed. They expected the ship
bill, the Philippine bill and other meas
ures would have to go over for the next
Congress.

Lodge, who led the Republican oppo-
sltion to the ship bill, arranged to
