SAVED A LIFE.
Brave Act of Great Falls Man at Port
Hope. :

Great Falls, Sept. 10.-An account of
an act of exceptional courage perform
ed by a Great Falls man comes from
Port Hope. Ontario, and is told by the
Guide of that city The hero is Arthur
H. Stephens, a member of the firm of
Stephens Bros, who conduct bakery
business in this city and who have been
here almost since the beginning of
Great Fails. Mr.. Stephens has, among
other things, been closely connected
with the game of baseball in this city
and in such connection is known
throughout the state. The story is told
as follows: .z-..
While on visit to friends in Oshawa
last Friday Arthur H. Stephens had
an experience that he will not forget
for some time to come. While walking
down one of the streets in the above
town his attention was attracted by the
cries of a telephone lineman, William
Reid, of 16 Baldwin street, Toronto,
who, in adjusting the wires on the top
of a pole, came in contact with a live
wire and the current was SO strong that
it was impossible to let go. He cried
out twice and then lost consciousness.
Arthur saw the situation and hurriedly
took his position under the pole and, as
the man, who weighed POI pounds, came
down head first, caught him and eased
his fall to the ground, so that there was
not a scratch or bruise on him as a
result of his headlong flight. Physicians
were at once summoned, and after
working with the unconscious man for
over an hour he was revived, and Is
now on a fair way to recovery. His
hands, under his arms and sides were
considerably burned by the electric cur
rent. The man naturally feels very
grateful TO Mr.. Stephens, who un-
doubtedly saved his life, as he fell from
30 to 35 feet, and would have landed on
NIL IF hrnl brit nd c&a
thur sustained a severe shock and is
still feeling the effects of the terrible
strain. He never wants to meet with
a like experience.
