TRAMP PROBABLY
FATALLY BURNED
Clothing of Archie Gibson Caught Fire
in Tool House at White River
Junction

WHITE RIVER JUNCTION. March
ga young man about 81 years old.
who gave his name as Archie Gibson,
was probably fatally burned in a fire
which destroyed a Central Vermont
tool house just south of the engine
house at this place at 10 clock Tues
day night. 1t is thought that Gibson
entered the tool house seeking a warm
place in which to sleep and installed
himself on a bench back of the stove.
He managed to get out of the build
ing, but his clothes were in flames
and he was struggling to tear them off
when help arrived DIR. T. f. G. Cart
land the railroad physician at this
point, was summoned and administered
what relief was possible, but the man
was i'll such agony that he was taken
early yesterday morning to the Mary
Hitchcock hospital at Hanover, \. H..
where grave doubts are expressed for
his recovery.
The man was unconscious all night.
but in the morning aroused enough to
tell the doctors that his home was for
merly in Richford, his people having
moved from there a short time ago to
Holyoke, Mass. He also stated that
he had lately been working near Tibet
ford and it is. thought by the authori
ties that he was tramping south. The
fact that he was in the building SO
long would indicate that he was unde,
the influence of liquor. The fire caused
but small loss.
