There was Light-No More Complaint of Bad
Gas Service.
The gas furnished the citizens of Fort

Grande round house on the Texas aud Pa
citir reservation. The change has been
under way for the last few days and was
completed only Yesterday afternoon in
time to start the new plant in opera
ton for the first time last night.
The poor gas service which
has been commented upon somewhat
lately has been caused by the change
under way, and was unavoidable.
But there is now no need to fear an
other break in the gas supply, for Fort
Worth has the best gus plant in Texas,
put in at Il cost that will reach p half
million dollars when the work is COM
plete. There are still some minor details
TO be finished at the new work, but they
90 not interfere with the supply of gas.

A shocking accident befel W. F. Som

both legs were broken, an arm was
shattered and an ugly cash was furrowed
in his skull.
He was knocked from the platform of

He was taken up more dead than
alive, and was at first thought to be be-
yond recovery, but at latest accounts
last night the doctors attending him
think he will recover.
Shortly after noon yesterday he was
engaged repairing the wind mill in the
rear Of his Penn street residence, and
went upon the high platform With an oil
can 10 lubricate the machinery. The
heavy fans of the immense machine were
not in motion as il was thought the
machinery was out of fix. Just IS Mr..

his head, KNOCKING him insensible aud
mixing him lOsG his balance and fall 10

picket Of which penetrated his left arm,
tearing the flesh from the bones aud
blowing into the back part of his skull.
Both legs were broken near the thigh.
Ee was an unconscious and bloody
mass when picked up by kind hands.
Taken into his residence doctors were
summoned, and the case was declared
almost hopeless. 1t appeared that the
wound in the skull was dangerous, aud
il YVES thought there must be serious in
ternnI injuries.
But, later, more hopeful news was re-
cetvcd. At midnight the doctors were OF

act necessarily fatal and no symptoms of
internal injuries have developed. The
patient was resting well at last accounts.

All efforts to interview him by news
