 COASTS OVER
 35-FOOT CLIFF


 Boy, 17 Seriously Hurt 
 in Malden

     David Furbush, 17, 58 Roberts st.,
 Malden,  received  serious  head  and
 back   injuries   last   night   when   he
 coasted  off  the  edge  of  a  35-foot
 cliff  in   the   Linden  section  of  that
 city   and   landed  on  the  Newbury-
 port   Turnpike,  narrowly   escaping
 further   injuries  from  passing  auto-
 mobiles.
      Police  said that  Furbush, who is
 living  with  his  guardians,  Mr.  and
 Mrs. Robert  C.  Burt,  was coasting
 with  Robert  Burt, Jr.,  9,  when  he 
 failed  to   stop  on  a   flat  piece  of
 land   at    the  top  of  the  cliff   and
 went  over  head   first  on  the  sled.
 He  cleared   several;  sharp   jutting
 pieces of  ledge  on  the  way  down
 and   hit   the  curbing   of   the   dirt
 sidewalk,  falling   on  his  face  onto
 the cement.
     Attempting  to  go  down the cliff
 to  help  him,  the  Burt  boy slipped
 on  the  icy slide and was bruised on
 his  arms  and  back  in the fall.  Fur-
 bush  was taken to Malden Hospital
 by police.   He is a junior at Malden
 High  School  and  a  member of the 
rifle team.
