LlNEMAN'S CLOSE CALL.
Evidence of Criminal Assault. Man
Shot at Dance Will Die.
Special to News and Observer)

Asheville, N c., Dec 31-EInest Clev-
enger, a hneman in the employ OF the
Asheville Telephone and Telegraph Com
pany of this city, had thrilling expert
ence today and one which came near cost
ing him his life.
The young man had gone up on the high
forty foot pole to do some work, and not
noticing that one of the iron foot-holds
was touching one of the electric light
wires, through which passes 1890 volts,
he caught hold of the foot and instantly
one side of the current passed through his
body. The shock caused him to loosen
his hold with his feet, and for five min
utes he hung in midair.
When his hand first came in contact
with the live wire Clevenger screamed
and a passer-by seeing his perilous posi-
ton, FASTENED to the office of the Ashe
vile Electric Company and telephoned to
the power house for the current to be cut
off. Cleavenger, realizing that if the
power was shut off he would fall to the
pavement below and be killed, managed
to wrap his legs about the pole, and after
the current was cut off he was helped
down. Further than a severe shock to
bis system it is not thought that he is
seriously injured.
Luther Townsill, who is charged with
assaulting hts six-year-old cousin, was

six thousand for city property
Yesterday it was announced that the
site would be named today, but this
morning there was a hang up by other
property owners offering to sell at
lower figure after it was known where
the site was to be. An effort was mnde
to get the Rigsbee heirs to lower their
price but this failed. Just before six
O'Clock this afternoon an officer served
papers, notifying the above-named prop
city owners that their site had been
taken.
This marks an end of a long and bitter
fight for the Union Station here. Dur

then followed negotiations that led up
to the present settlement Of the matter.
At one time the railroads threatened to
carry the matter into the courts. but the
people here were determined to fight any
where if only a union station could be
landed.
Yesterday it was learned that the sta
ton would be on the Rigsbee property,
and when the rumor was circulated on
the streets this morning that there was a
hang up, the people were not slow in ex-
pressing opinions condemning the rail-
roads
1t is understood that work on the depot
will begin by April 1st.This means that
by next fall Durham will have union
depot in reality as well as on paper.
