ir:g the storm Saturday forenoon and
burned to the ground. The building

An unexpected turn came in, the

Power Company, last Monday when
the fast mail at IL: 35 He proceeded
to the plant and presented Manager
! Nichols with an order from Judge
Preston of the Linn county district
to turn the property over to Mr.. Saul
who has been appointed receiver for
the same. This was the first intima-
ton the local manager had that he was
not secure in the position he had filed
so satisfactorily to the patrons Of the
company. But he did not know of
the legal battle that had been in pro-
gress for weeks between E. E. Collins,
the nominal owner, and Addison
Brown of Carroll, who was back of
the DEAL which was supposedly con-
summated in the receivers sale some
weeks ago. For it is a fact that the
matter has been in court in Linn coun-
ty for some time, and the appointment
of w. c. Saul as receiver by Judge
Preston is the latest significant trans
action.

Dick Coats, a. young man of twenty,
was frightfully injured while working
on the Carnegie library building at
Parsons College Thursday morning
about II o'clock. He was holding a
guy rope on the second story of the
structure when a huge stone, weighing
probably 800 pounds, fell from the wall
above, a distance of nine or ten feet,
and crushed him to the floor. Physi-
clans were summoned at once and
their examination showed that the
skull on the right side of the head,
above the .-ar had been fractured,
that a section probably two and a half
inches square had been depressed, and
that the brain substance was issuing
from the wound. An operation was
performed which raised the fractured
bone to its normal position and the
young man has rested in IA fairly COM
Portable condition since that time. II
is said that he has been unconscious
at no time since the accident and that
since the pressure on the brain was re-
moved he has been wholly rational all
the time. Attending physicians say
that he has withstood this frightful
iajury in a remarkable manner, and,
while they will make no predictions as
to the future, there seems to be q
probability chat he will recover.
