lard Of Holyoke, Mass, travelling sales
man for a dry goods house, had a
thrilling experience near West Town
shend today in which he performed a
movie stunt. He was on his way up
the West River branch OF the Central
Vermont railroad and on reaching
West Townsend, where the ice had
damaged the railroad 50 that IT was
necessary to transfer passengers for
some distance, he decided that he
would save time by making short
cut UP over a hill on top of a high
precipice
He slipped and fell, landing astride
a tree stump on the side Of the preci-
y ce far about the highway. 1t was
impossible for HIM to retrace his
steps and he remained in his perllous
position half an hour-meanwhile re-
sorting to his pipe as solace-un-
I'll discovered by Mr., and Mrs. II. @.
Stratton, who were out looking at the
high water.
Mr. Stratton sent for rope, and a
crowd soon gathered. Among them
was Morris O'Donnell of Brattleboro,
q telephone lineman who fastened
the rope to tree and let himself
down part way. Some small boys then
united the rope and o Donnell threw
one end of It farther down to Mr.. Bul.
lard. In tn s way with considerable
difficulty Mr.. Bullard was hoisted to
firm footing. His cloth ng was soaked,
and he returned to Grout 4 Deans
