SLIDES UNDER TRAIN
Eight-Year-Old BOY Narrowly Escapes
Death when Three Cars Pass
over Him.

Montpelier. Dec. 23.-That Raymond,
eight-year-old son of Mr.. and Mrs. Jo-
seph Ala, was not killed when three
freight cars went over him on the Cen
trail Vermont railway. tracks about 10
o'clock Saturday morning is the Won
der of all who saw the accident. The
boy and other children were sliding
down Putnam street towards where
there was in years gone by a crossing,
but which. a few years ago, was moved.
The street was more slippery than us
ual, with the result that the youth went
on the railroad tracks just as the
shifting crew with it's train was APP
preaching. BY good fortune the acct
dent was so timed that the youth went
between the front and rear wheels Of
the first car approaching, instead Of in
front of the wheels. Instead of going
entirely through he stopped under the
car, with the result that the car and
the two following and a part of the
engine went over him. He was taken
from under the engine by being pulled
between two the driving wheels and
was carried to his home, when DR.. c..
/. Burr was called. He dressed the
wounds, the most serious of which was
cut an inch and half long on his
head over the right ear. His body. legs
and face were scratched and bruised,
but the child will be out again in a few
days. He is the oldest of four children.

ST. JOHNSBURY TO GET
SHIPMENT OF COAL

Montpelier, Dec. 21.-Information from
the State fuel administrators office is that
the condition in st. Johnsbury seems to
be improving and that the people can feel
at least for little while as though they
would have fuel A message was received
at the office this morning that in addition
to the II cars of coal nine more have been
shipped from the mines to st. Johnsbury.
This is hard coal and the kind most needed
in that village where the domestic heat
ing was the hard problem. The admins
traitor finds that the coal dealers are CO.
operating finely and that with one excep.
ton they had done all that could be asked
Of them. A proper reprimand and elimina-
ton of coal for that dealer has placed
him on the cooperating list of dealers.
