Horace C. French suffered shock
Sunday at 6 clock at his camp on the
north end of the mountain. His legs
were paralyzed and for time it was
impossible for him to move. He was
seated in the shack talking to Ernest
E. Aldrich, Edward Fletcher and Dana
! Stafford when a dizzy sensation came
I over him. He tried to get up but found
it useless to try. Ernest Aldrich tele
phoned to DR.. c. r. Aldrich from the
farm of Walter Thomas. DR.. Aldrict
brought Mr.. French to his home Oh
/ Hudson street where his CONDITION mas
since improved. 1t is probable that Mr.
French will recover from the shock
though he may not be able to use his
right leg with as much ease as hereto
| fore.
Fire was discovered in the fish
market owned by N. j. Boyce d com
pany in Morse s block on Elliot street
shortly after 12 O'Clock Wednesday
morning by William Thayer. Box 81
was Immediately rung in and a stream
from the chemical engine extinguished
the blaze. 1t is supposed that the fire
caught from matches ignited by rats
as It started in the case where the
matches are kept. A part of the parti'
ton near the door leading to the back
room and portion Of the ceiling over
the door were burned. A show case
and several small dishes were destroyed
besides several large boxes OF matches
