EDWARD scuLLY BREAKS LEG
Falls from Tree While Gathering
Leaves for Decorations

Edward Seully, who is in the en-
ploy of Judge Edward l.. Bates, fell
from a tree Friday afternoon and broke
both bones OF the right leg a short
distance above the ankle.
Mrs. Bates and Mr.. Scully had
driven into the country during the af-
ternOon to secure autumn leaves with
which to decorate the interior Of the
Bates residence on Silver street for
the reception held in the evening. Mr..
Scully had climed a tree and had cut
and thrown down what branches he
needed. He then made his way down
the trunk of the tree until he believed
he was near the ground and dropped.
He miscalculated the distance to the
ground, however, and the fall was Sc
we're enough to cause the fracture.
Responding to calls for assistance,
Mrs. Bates drove into field and with
what help Mr.. Scully could give him
self the injured man managed to
reach a seat in the carriage While
being driven TO the village they met
Street Commissioner John Harwood
in an automobile. The injured man
was transferred to the car and taken
to the office of a physician. The frac-
ture was set and Mr.. Scully was later
taken to one Of the Troy hospitals,
where the leg is TO x.ray TO make
sure that the broken bones have been
properly joined.

BRAKEMAN IS
FATALLY HURT
|NLOCA[ YARD
F. H. Bruce Falls Under
Switching Engine
BOTH LEGS SEVERED
Young Man Lived Less Than Two
Hours After AceIdent--Home
in Rutland.

f. H. Bruce, Rutland railroad
freight brakeman, was fatally injured
in the local yard Friday afternoon.
Both OF his legs were severed and he
lived less than two hours after the ac
cident.
The unfortunate young man was
member of train 29, north bound at
the time of the accident. The train
was running slowly over the long
switch and Bruce was riding on the
pilot of the locomotive A switching
engine on the main track was run
ming in the same direction. When his
train had reached a point just west
of the freight Office, Bruce stepped
from the pilot of his engine directly
in front of the switcher. The wheels
must have passed over his legs for
the limbs were not only nearly
severed from the body but they were
considerably mangled.
AS Bruce stepped away from the
engine of the freight a fellow brake
man called to him to look out for the
switcher but the warning came too
late.
Bruce was quickly carried into the
Office of the freight shed. Two physi-
clans and Rev. R. ]. Cahill of st.
Francis de Sales church were sum-
moned and remained with the young
man until he died. The brakeman
was conscious when taken into the
freight Office and gave his name and
address, 47-Grend street, Rutland.
So far as could be learned the re-
sponsibility for the accident rested
entirely upon Bruce. He was appar-
emily unaware OF the presence of the
switching engine. His own train and
the switcher were both running slow,
y at the time. snaf o.emr ls4s
Bruce did not give his age but was
young man less than thirty years of
age. The remains were taken TO the
Walbridge undertaking rooms and
this morning were sent to his home
in Rutland.
