of alcohol, to be used in the dynamo
rooms for disolving shellac and on his
way home took swig of the stuff. 1t
made him feel very gay and he flew
around at his work in lively manner.
After while the spirits began to die
out and he sneaked into the room
where the alcohol was stored and
helped himself to regular three-fnger
dose. After staggering around few
minutes he fell fiat on his face. That
was about five o'clock In the evening

until seven o'clock yesterday morning.
Efforts were made to arouse him, but
not a symptom of animation could be
evoked, so he was laid out and left to
sleep 1t off. The alcohol will be kept
where he connot get to it in the future,
