Moncton (West. Co.) March 31 - William BURNS, an employee in the I.C.R. boiler shop, died this morn. at 3 o'clock. About 12 years ago, while acting in the capacity of fireman on a locomotive, he was in a collision near Campbellton and had his right thigh broken in several places and his left leg was also injured. The broken limb was set and did not inconvenience him much, but the left leg troubled him considerably, the bone having become diseased. He was not incapacitated from work, however, until a few weeks ago. He leaves a wife and two children. (see original)
