end of the car endeavored to play the part
of conductor, and while he was handling
the ropes attached to the pole the conduc-
tor leaned out to see how well he was
succeeding. The latter was on the running
beard at the time and leaned too far from
the car, and his head came in contact with
one of the poles which hold the heavy
wires He was struck with force enough
to ipjure his skull and knock him off the
car.

dent, and he conveyed the injured man to
the Casualty Hospital, where he died about
two hours after his arrival.
