Local Passenger Train and

day Near Burlington
ACCIDENT DUE TO
MISTAKE IN ORDERS
Is the Clain-Passenger Train Should
Have Been Held at Winooski Until
Work Train Passed North-Accident
Occurred in Tunnel.

BURLINGTON, June "a collision
between local passenger train and a
light engine on the Central Vermont
railroad between this city and Winooski
today killed five persons and injured
several others. Seven persons were re-
moved to hospitals. None of the dead
were passengers.
The accident occurred in a tunnel
when the south-bound local from Cam
bridge for Burlington crashed head-on
into the light engine. 1t was claimed
that the accident was due to a mistake
in orders for the passenger train, which
ought to have been held at Winooski
until the work train passed north
All of the dead were railway en-
ployes. Two of the seven persons sent
| to hospitals were passengers, but it

pured. 1t was thought, however, that
several others were fatally hurt. Sew
eral of the railway employees were rid

SITE CHOSEN FOR
BOY SCOUT CAMP
Will Be Located in West Dummerston
Near West River Dan-Applica-
tions Desired at Once.

Harold E. White. Scout commissioner,
and the scout masters made a trip re-
Gently in search of site for this year s
Boy Scout camp, and they have found
what seems to be an ideal spot. 1t is
on the West River in West Dummerston
about quarter of a mile below the
dam. There is a level strip of land
between the river and the road, and
the shore shelves off very gradually,
thus making fine swimming place.
With some buoys and ropes large pool
can be designated which will provide
all the fun the boys want and be per-
fectly safe at the same time
The camp site itself is on the east
ern side of the road, where the ground
rises in two terraces. A fringe of
trees forms a screen for the camp, so
that while it is close to the road and
easily accessible, it is still secluded.
The first terrace leads to fairly broad
flat where the officers tents will be
pitched and where the ball field will be
laid out. The second terrace is short
and leads to pine grove which will be
an excellent place for the boys tents
Being high ground, there will be little
air is fresh and clean.
The water supply is good, for there
are several fine springs nearby. Several
farms nearby will furnish an ample
supply of fresh eggs and milk Over
looking the river valley, as it does
and having every advantage for q
healthful and pleasant camp, the scout
officials feel well satisfied with the
choice. Parents and friends also viii
appreciate the ease with which the
camp may be visited.
1t is now planned to open the cam,

for the entire period. Last year th
