Burlington has on her hands tramp,
Patrick Sheridan, who was injured in
that city in 1917. He was run over by a
train, losing one leg and part of the other
foot. The railroad paid his expenses at
the hospital for some time, but short
time ago it notified the hospital that it
would do it no longer, so the hospital
authorities cast the burden onto Overseer
of the Poor T. A. Delaney. 1t has been
found that cork leg and specially
fitted shoe will put the man on his feet
again, so the city is going to buy them
in order that the tramp may tramp out
of town once more.
