sustains Frightful Injuries
When Steam Crane Runs over
Him-Man Is Hurried to Au-
gusta General Hospital and
Left Leg Is Amputated, but
Efforts to Save Life Prove
Futile

Victor Gibson of Granite Hill. aged II
years and an employe OF the halloween
Granite Co., received injuries OF such
terrible nature late Thursday afternoon
that he died about $50 at the Augusta
General hospital. to which institution ne
had been brought for treatment OF his
injuries. Mr.. Gipson was married and
the wife and two sons survive.
Mr. Gipson's injuries were due to
catching his left foot in the frog OF
track at the quarries on which runs
travelling steam crane, similar to those
used on the Maine Central Railroad,
this crane being mounted on nat car.
It was shortly after the close of the
davis work at the quarries and the crew
was running the crane, which the men
call 1.-THE Dago," into the shed, Mr.. Clip
son being a few feet ahead Of the crane
on the track.
AS he stepped on what is known as
frog in the track his left foot became
wedged therein and before he could re-
lease it or the men with the crane stop
the machine it was upon him. crushing
the left leg from the foot to the knee in
a shocking manner. He also sustained
terrible injuries about the body.
An ambulance was secured at Hallowell
as quickly as possible and the injured
man was hurried to the Augusta General
hospital, where the leg was amputated
at the knee. The injury to the foot and
leg, however, serious as it was, was not
to be compared with frightful wound
which was made by some foreign sub
h0
part Of the body up into the abdomen.
The nature of the injuries and the ac-
companying shock was such that the I'M
fortunate man fingered until about $50,
when death came as above stated.

Waterville, Me-, Jan. N.-(SpeciaD-
"A Girl in a Thousand" as presented by
the womens division of the Senior class
proved to be a play in thousand, SO
we'll was it received by the large and
enthusiastic audience. The chapel, which
was the center of theatrical life for the
time being, was carefully arranged, with
an excellent stage improvised on the pull
pit platform, each side being covered
with dark green curtains, behind which
the many actresses. their maids and oth-
er members of the production, gathered
until their cue to enter the scene. Short
ly after eight, when the chapel was filled
few selections which were well played,
and these three young musicians receiV-
ed a great hand At length the curtain
swung aside upon a play from the start
a fine, breezy little farce. with plenty of
good, bright humor mingled in the lines.
and with setting of home life which
was perfectly portrayed by this assem-
blsge of feminine collegians. Marian Mil
Ter of South Portland proved to be the
girl in a thousand and certainly deserved
that title before the completion of the
play, for her real worth was readily OBJ
served. Miss Miller was ably assisted by
a fine cast made up of the most versatile
of the ladies. all OF whom took their al
lotted parts in such an accomplished
manner that the whole presentation
surely had the type of a finished produc-
ton. Miss Yvette Clair of Waterville as
Charlotte. and Miss Fife Harmon of
Houlton as Kathleen, took the juvenile
parts to perfection, while Miss Marjorie
Barker of Norway and Miss Vivian
Wright of Wiscasset, together with Miss
Louise McCurdy of Calais. took the roles
of the grown up people in real profess
sional style. The coincidence was most
successfully portrayed by Miss Alice Ma
