John P. Leach Of Patterson, tele.
graph lineman, was severely hurt on
. telegraph pole near York, Pa, on
Tuesday morning. He was adjust.
ing wire on an upper cross piece
when an insulator sprang loose and
upwards striking him on the right
side of the nose, completely covering
the eye. The end Of a wire wrap
ped around the insulator penetrated
his nose st the corner of the eye.
The blow knocked him senseless and
he sank limp and seemingly lifsless
across one of the arms of the pole,
and there hung q startling and ter
rorizing sight to the group of line
men at work on tho ground. Two
men speedily climbed the pole and
brought him from his perilous posi-
ton. He appeared like dead man
for the period of about two hours
when he revived and consciousness
was restored. He was brought to
his home in Patterson the afternoon
of the same day, and is doing az
we'll as can be expected.

down among the domestic animal.

who had not been disturbed pro
nounced the tales freaks Of immagi
