C. A. Madison, a lineman in the
employ Of the Capital Electric COM
pany. was electrocuted shortly before
8 O'Clock this afternoon while work.
ing on a pole at Fourteenth and
Grove streets.
Just how the accident happened
that caused his sudden death is not
known, but he was pulling up a slack
wire and in some way it got across
another live wire and 1000 volts
passed through his body. He was fas-
tened to the pole by a safety belt
and his body, dangled across the
wires for several seconds although ].
Z. Bell and w. E. Morse, who We're
working with him, cut the wire and
climbed the pole, bring the body
down as soon as possible.
Upon examination it was found
he was frightfully burned, the fin7
gers on one hand being nearly burn
ed off and one of his legs had several
holes burned deeply into it.
The deceased was about 80 years
of age. He resided with his wife,
who is a daughter of A. ]. Turley, at
the corner of Eighth and Alturas
streets. He was considered one Of
the most careful linemen in the en-
ploy of the Capital Electric Light
company. It is thought by some that
he tainted as a result of the heat and
fell across the two live wires, thus
forming a circuit through the hands
and body Of the unfortunate man,
His hands being wet with perspira-
tion, were good conductors. Boise

The San Francisco Star says of DR..
E. r. Taylor, the new mayor Of San
Francisco:
For many years we have been per-
sonally acquainted with Dr. Z. r.
Taylor, now mayor of San Francis
co; therefore, having some knowledge
of his character, we can assure our
readers that his highest endeavor in
the office thrust upon him will be
for the public good. He will do the
best he can; and.
who does the best his circumstance
allows,
Does well. acts nobly; angels could
do no more"
A poet, a doctor, and lawyer
and our new mayor is all three
with ideals that salute the stars, may
hardly be the man for San Francisco
at the present time; but, more than
poet, or doctor, or lawyer, E. r. Tay-
lor is a clean, an honest man.
He is even more than that-far
more, Mere perfunctory, personal
honesty counts for little with us. We
have met too many men who were
So diligent in the nursing of their
own regulations for honesty that they
forgot to remember that they owed
some service to the people, and that
Il was dishonest, and selfish, 70
withhold such service, 49,
Not so with DR.. Taylor. He has
ever been ready to give his time and
talents-and money, too-for any
cause, however, unpopular which he
thought might make for good govern
ment or help to uplift and bless his
fellow man,
We de hot predict that Or. Edward
r, Taylor will make a very able
mayor--it is almost too much to ex-
pcct of one who is at once a good
doctor, lawyer and poet-but this we
know, and say with emphasis, that
he will never bring shame or discred-
ii upon our city. on the contrary,
We know that, as chief of the munich
pality, he will earnestly strive, with
the lights before him, for the COM
monweal.
Already he has unequivocally an
nounced himself in favor of public
ownership and operation of the wa
ter system. and indicates very plain
" that he is sound" in the matter

ties or necessities, as he proved him
