WATERVlI.LE.
RECEIVED A SHOCK.
Aliin Brau Falls 40 Feet and Receives Prob.
ably Fatal Injuries.

Alfin Brau, Frenchman, in the en-
ploy of the city as an assistant cleo
trician. fell from an electric light pole
40 feet, Thursday afternoon at 4
O'Clock. and sustained injuries which
the physicians think are fatal 1t is
supposed that the fall was caused by
the man coming in contact with a live
wire and that he is suffering from a
severe shock as well as the fall.
Brau had given the city his notice
anu was to finish work. Thursday
night, having secured a position else
where. For several days he has been
teaching Charles Curean about the
lights and it was the custom for Cur
can to repair the lights while Brau
would inspect the work after it was
completed.
They had nearly finished the days
work, Thursday, and were at work on
the Plains. Curean had cleaned the
lamp, put the carbon in and had come
down from his work. Brau at once
assembled and it is supposed that as he
put his left arm about the cross arm of
the pole his right hand came in con-
tact with a live wire.
The first that Curean knew of the ac-
cident of his companion was when he
heard him shouting for help. The next
thing he saw was Brau falling head
nrst from the cross arm of the pole,
striking the ground on his head. He
at once started for medical assistance
but DR.. Abbott, who happened to be
close by, went to the mans aid. He
found him to be in a very critical con-
d1tion and at once ordered his removal
10 his home on East Temple street.
The man was taken to his home and
the physicians made an examination.
injecting morphine to relieve the pain,
The examination proved that the
man had his shoulder badly broken and
1t was thought that he was suffering
from internal injuries. Although the
physicians could find no traces of burn
ing on his hands or body they think
that he received bad shock and is
suffering from it as well as from the
injuries of the fall.
AT late hour, last night, the attend
ing physicians had been unable tol
bring the patient back to consciousness
and they We're of the opinion that he
would not live until morning.
Brau is % years old, is married and
has one child.

cessfui, the amount being received
from pastors and laymen. A commit
tee of two from each of the co-operat-

ment was presented by Rev. c. H.

lief in the serious and lasting peril in
which the souls of heathens are placed
by failing to know or accept of the
Gospel. to the numerous religious and
philanthropic agencies which have
been developing during the last o5
years, and which have absorbed gifts.

of individual missionaries by individual

sons.
