IN NEW ATTACKS
IN RUMANIA
RUMANIAN ARMIES
ARE IN GREAT PERIL

The situation of the Rumanian
armies defending Bucharest ap-
pears to be increasingly critical.
Only to the northward of the cap
ital do the Rumanian lines seem
to be holding at all firmly and even
there the capture of Curtea de
Argos, although so miles from
Bucharest, seems to indicate the
weakening of the Rumanian resist
ance in that direction. On the
southwest the peril is imminent
with the enveloping movement of
the central powers placing their
forces within 40 miles OF the cap
ital.

Miss Mabel Nutbrown In
stantly Killed at So.
Ryegate To-day
BODY WAS FOUND :
CUT TO F 5 les
Young Woman H s Recent
ly Complained ; Pains
in Her Head

South Ryegate, Nov. 29.--Throwing
herself in front of the west bound Mont
pelier & Wells River train at 6 o'clock
this morning, Miss Mabel Nutbrown,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. William Nut
brown of this place, was instantly killed,
her body being found when daylight
came. For two or three weeks the young
woman had complained of pains in her
head, and so it is believed that i'll health
was the cause of her suicide
The body was found near a crossing in
this village, and on a log nearby lay
her coat and hat, the latter evidence in
dicating beyond doubt that il was case
of self f-destruction. Because of the dark.
ness, the trainmen did not know what
had occurred.
Miss Nutbrown was 30 years of age
and for some time was employed in the
family of Judge Nichols in St Johns
bury. Recently she came to South Rye
gate to assist her parents in the main
tenance of boarding house. Besides her
parents, she leaves one sister, Mrs. Err
nest Crates, who lives on a farm in this
vicinity. The family came here from
Canada.
After the authorities had viewed the
remains they gave permission for the re-
moval of the body of the young wom-
an.
When the Green Mountain express
pulled into Barre this morning at 8
o'clock the trainmen were asked by a
Times reporter concerning the killing of
Miss Nutbrown at South Ryegate. They
knew nothing of the occurrence and were
at first inclined to doubt the truth of
the report that their train had killed her,
although they said it was SO dark when
the train went through South Ryegate
that it would have been impossible to
see anybody lying on the track The en-
CINE and car wheels showed no signs of
blood.
