he had not met instant death. His whole left
side and feet, where the electricity had passed

Mcdonald was engaged in repairing one OF
the signal wires from a platform built on

himself from falling, he grabbed the feed wire

he remained unconscious for nearly twenty four
hours. on Sunday he rallied somewhat. but
his stomach did not retain any food. This, ac-

The case is extraordinary one. Persons
