it became known that Principal f. s,
Abbott, after a conference with Coach
Frederic Edwards, had decided that the
local teams season ended two weeks
ago and that it would be out of the ques-
tion to consider game with the Marble
city representatives. Rutland high of
fered TO give a $50 guarantee and as
this would not quite pay the expenses,
several local fans offered to pay the diff
ference and Coach Dole of the seminary
team informed Captain Mack that he
would have a squad out this week to
give the high school practice. A former
Dartmouth college halfback volunteered
10 assist in rounding the team in shape
but the decision of Principal Abbott
puts the game out Of consideration.

TERRIBLY MANGLED,
LAY 6 HOURS IN COLD
Frank Burns Was Run Over by TRAIN on
Which He Was Stealing a Ride,
and He is in Hospital in
Burlington.

Burlington, Nov. 22 After lying six
hours in ditch few rods from the
North Hero station with both legs
crushed above the ankles and his right
arm crushed at the elbow as the re.
suit OF a fall between the cars of a
train upon which he was riding, Frank
Burns, an itinerant bridge builder, was
brought to this city yesterday. His name
is on the dangerous list at the Mary
Fletcher hospital.
! The story OF Burns experience Is a
shocking one. He was stealing ride
to this city, where he hoped to obtain
employment, when be fell from his place
between the cars. lie lost consciousness
for few moments but says he recovered
his senses in time 10 see the all-lights
Of the train disappear raound the bend.
He made a futile effort to gain his
feet and realizing the impossibility OF
this, dragged himself TO the side Of the
railroad embankment and allowed him
self TO roll into ditch which was filed
with several inchy OF water.
The accident occurred at ! o'clock
Sunday morning and in this pitiable
plight he remained for six hours. At z
O'Clock Elmer Craft of North Hero heard
his cries and found him.
Burns was carried 10 the station and
DIR. Branch was summoned. The doctor
found that instant action was necessary
and amputated the right arm at the
elbow without administering an anes-
thetic. Burns was fully conscious during
the operation but gave no indication Of
pain.
The victim was brought TO this city |
on the noon train. The doctors found |
that although both legs were badly /
the main arteries had not been 1
severed. The large arteries in bic arm
had been cut, however, and the only thing /
that saved him from quickly bleeding TO
death was the action OF the cold tenn
perature Of the air and water. which /
rlotted the blood and checked the flow
TO some extent.
One Of the most shocking features
" the affair was related BY Burns at
The hospital. lie said that during the
night a man had passed along the track
above him and had refused 20 heed his
appeal for help. II Is thought that per-
laps Burns in a setni-delirious state OF
mind might have imagined this Incl.
lent.
The injured man said that he had ,
wo brothers. one in Springfield, Mass,
md TIE other in Malone. y. Y. he also i
lad a sister but did not give her name !
