Ice Goes Out of North Branch without
Damage to Bridge or Property.


Last nights rain coupled with the
extended period of warm weather broke
up the ice in the North branch river
and in the Winooski river below the
| Cotton dam and the water for a time
threatened to get into the cellars along
| Elm street. The ice in the smaller
stream went out about 10 o'clock this
forenoon, leaving the river clear up to
the Lane Manufacturing shops. The
ice barely cleared the framework which
was used in building the new Rialto
bridge, carrying out one or two boards.
Persons on the Central Vermont sta
tion platform were given a thrill this
morning when a woman and three small
children attempted to board the south
bound train after it had started to leave
the station. They had waited until the
train started before they learned that
the train was going south and then all
made desperate attempt to get on.
The woman and one child made the step
safely, but two of the children barely
got on the steps, and the brakeman was
forced to run along side the moving
train and hold the little ones from fan
ing off. The engineer finally stopped
the train near the bridge and an accident
was ayerted.
