HIVESBURG YOUTH
KILLED BY HORSE
Arba d. Davis, 13 Years of Age, Was
Trampled By the Animal in
Its Stall.

Hinesburg, Feb. 2l.-Arba ID. Davis,
the l3-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs.
Daniel C. Davis, whose farm is three
miles from the village, died Saturday
evening at the Mary Fletcher hospital
in Burlington as the result OF being
kicked in the head by his fa-
theirs horse early Saturday morning.
The left side of his head and face were
crushed. He regained consciousness
about that evening only long enough
to recognize his mother, and then
lapsed again into Inconsistencies.
The young lad drove the milk team
to the creamery that morning and upon
his return he put the morse in the stall
with its harness on. Later, the father,
who was working about 20 feet away,
was attracted by a peculiar noise and
when he reached the scene, found the
body under the horse in an unconscious
condition. The horse was a gentle one
and the theory is that the girth became
unbuckled and that in STOPPING to fast
en- it the boy lost his balance. When he
was found ii looked as though he had
been badly trampled upon. Beside his
parents he is survived by several broth
ers and sisters.
Doctors Denton of Monkton and Bur
dick of Hinesburg were summoned and
ordered the boys removal to the hos
pital. Both jaws were fractured in ad-
dition to the injuries to his head and
face.
The body was brought to his home
yesterday and the funeral is to be held
Tuesday afternoon at | o'clock at the
Methodist church

though the blizzard which Saturday
night and Yesterday swept the eastern
states from western Tennessee to New
England had passed out to sea in a
northeasterly direction, the big area il
visited today was in the grip Of the
ice and snow it left behind. In many
places, particularly in the vicinity of
New York. where the storm was at its
worst. and the mountainous regions OF
Virginia. Maryland and Pennsylvania,
where the snow had piled in great
drifts. the inhabitants had literally to
dig themselves ont and first reports Of
blocked rail traffic and demoralized
wire service were shown not to be ex-
sggerated.
Many outlying districts bad not been
heard from to-day and the list Of those
who lost their lives directly or indi-
roctly owing to the storm remained I'M
determined. although u was definitely
established that nine deaths occurred in
New York.
Warmer weather Is forecast for to
