Bunker, son of Mr. and Mrs. Edwin Bunker, had died in consequence of injuries received from falling beneath the wheels of a moving train, while employed at work connected with Boston & Maine railroad near Bellows Falls, Vt., Thursday. The young man had been working for, about three weeks with a crew who were putting in block signals along the line of the road, and at the time the accident happened was trying to board a passing train. In some way he missed his hold on the car and fell beneath the wheels which took off both legs. He also suffered injuries to the head. The train was at once stopped and he was removed to Bellows Falls, where surgical aid was had and that evening was hurried by a special train to Brattleboro, where there was a hospital, but died before reaching that place. The remains reached Dexter Saturday morning, accompanied by his father.
