Alfred Knights suffered serious acci-
dent at the Marcott & Hayes mill last
Friday afternoon, his right hand being
drawn onto . circular saw and almost
severed, the cut extending across the
member below the base of the thumb.

the sanatorium and is trying to save the

There is considerable complaint over
the short service given by the electric
light company. Owing to the low water
at Gaysville, the power is exhausted and
lights go out before O'Clock in the even
ing. The Bethel power plant gives rs
lights about an hour in the morning,
with the water when it reaches the lower
dam. This is all. When rates were
raised early in the summer, Randolph
was promised all-night service and stand
ard lights, and an auxiliary steam plant
to help out during such drouths as the
present. The company explains that
there was unavoidable delay in getting
the generator. 1t is now at Bethel and
the foundation for the machinery laid,
but the trouble now is that the 200 b. p.
engine purchased by the electric company
Of the Woodbury. Granite company can
not be spared by the latter until rain
comes. 1t will take about two weeks
then to complete the steam plant, aftel
which there should be no further trouble
like the present.
