DIED SUDDENLY.
Mrs. J. G. Patterson, Of South Boston
Died Suddenly MOnday Nlohi,

A long distance phone message
to the city last night brought the
shocking news Of the death o,
Mrs. j. G. Patterson, of South
Boston, who formerly made this
city her home. Facts about the
sudden death of Mrs. Patterson
made it one peculiarly sad. She
leaves an infant four months old
and it is critically i'll. In fact
the baby has been so sick that
the physicians in South Boston
advised that a change in climate
would help and Mrs. Patterson
was going to bring it here and
had already planned to leave on
the morning train yesterday
morning. Those were her plans
wher Mrs. Scoggins and Mr.. j.
w. Hudgins left her on Monday
night just a few hours before
she died.
Death was caused by ptomain
poisoning. Nine weeks ago she
had an attack of this together
with some kind of a head trou-
BILE, and three weeks ago she had
another attack. However, she
had, SO her friends thought, suc-
cessfully tided over this oft-times
fatal malady, and was in the
way of a complete recovery Of
her health. In fact she seemed
in fine spirits just a short time
before her death. She had been
laughing and talking to some Of
her friends and arose and stepped
to the bed. Those IN the room
saw her put her hand to her
head and fall and in a few min
utes she was dead.
She was thirty-nine years old
and leaves a husband and five
chilnren. one brother. Mr.. ]. w.
Hudgins. and three sisters. The
sisters re'Mrs. I. II. Scoggins,
of this city; Mrs. Sykes, OF
Greensboro. and Mrs. J. w
Floyd, OF Knoxville, Tenn.

KILLED BY LIVE WIRE.
Mr.. Emmett Rlgsbee Victim Of Elecirl.
city Monday Afternoon.

Mr.. Emmett R. Rigsbee, a line
man for the Durham Traction
company met a sudden and vio-
lent death Monday afternoon
about 2 o'clock when by touch
ing a live wire and completing a
circuit over 1890 volts of cleo
tricity passed through his body.
He and Foreman C. c. Whit
field and Linemen Whitaker and
Evans ad been engaged in the
fore pa. t o the day in removing
an old pole and putting in a new
one on the corner of Queen and
Peabody street. 1t was dam
gerous job for it was on the line
which carried the feed wire to
the East Durham circuit. Realiz-
ing this Foreman Whitfield did
the most difficult part Of chang
ing the wires to the new insula-
tors in the forenoon. In the af-
terhoon they were engaged in
putting up the guy lines for a
street lamp and Mr.. Rigsbee
went up one of the poles carry.
ing with him one end Of the wire.
Where the wire for the swinging
arc was to be placed was some
distance below the live wire and
it was not necessary for the
workman to come within a foot
of the high voltage wire.
Rigsbee was an experienced
man and no one thought of him
getting his body in contact with
the live wire, especially since
there was no need of him going
high enough 10 have to pass the
wire. The first presentment OF
trouble was when Mr.. Whitfield
heard a groan and looking up
saw that Rigsbee had caught
hold of the live wire. He inn
mediately called TO John Evans,
who was up another pole on the
other side Of the street, and was
the only other workman having
the climbing spikes. Evans
reached the unfortunate man in
a few seconds but death had
been instantaneous and nothing
could be done. Before he reach
ed him the muscles had relaxed
and the head fell back and he
was dead. lie had on the belt
worn BY linemen while at work
and this prevented his falling to
the ground. With the assistance
of a ladder and Mr.. G. G. Wnita-
ker, another iineman. the lifeless
body was brought to the ground.
He had probably been holding
the high voltage wire sometime
but as soon as he caught hold Of
another wire, one end Of which
was on the ground, the short cir.
cult was completed and death
was the instantaneous follower.
The only evidence Of the violent
death were the burns on the
hands.
Emmett r. Rigsbee was the son
of Mr.. John 6. Rigsbee. who
lives near the city just beyond
the park. His father was in the
country threshing wheat and the
message of his sons death did
not reach him till late in the af-
ternoon. In addition 10 his faith
err he leaves a mother, one broth
err, L. G. Rigsbee. and one sister.
Four years ago he was married
to Miss Annie Pickett and he and
his young wife lived out near the
park. There are no children. In
addition to these immediate mem.
bers Of bis family he is widely
related throughout the county.
He was a good, steady worker
and had been with the Traction
company for the good part Of
eight years, Up to the time 81
the fatal mishap he had been re.
garded as one Of the most care
full workmen on the line. JusI

prove Of great benefit to all who were
20 fortunate as to be present.
d.. Jones brought out the point that
West Virginia had done practically
nothing toward the stamping out Of
the great white plague, while her sis
Ter States were actively engaged in es-
tablisning sanitariums and using 9TH
ar means for the prevention of this
disease. The fact was brought to light
that Pennsylvania alone has over one
hundred sanitarIums, whose whole ain
is to stop the spread of consumption.
Several leagues have recently been
organized in the principal cities If this
State and the speaker last evening
urged that tllspensary be started in
this section, DR.. Jones also urged
that the treatment Of this disease be
begun in its infancy and stated that
IL taken in time, tuberculosis was ua-
doubtedly durable disease. Through
out the entire address, Dr.. Jones was
given flattering attention and this
was undoubtedly one of the best adj
dresses yet given for the league.

On Saturday morning last the resi-
dents Of the village of Dinorwlc, lying
six miles east Of Wabigoon, beheld
with astonishment the unusual spec
tacle of a private Pullman car side
tracked in the C. P. R. yard adjoining
their village. Later on a couplc Of
teams drove alongside. which the Uccu'
pants boarded and we're driven rapidly
to the Laurentian mine. The presence
Of Mr.. and Mrs. Anthony Blum, with
taeir son and daughter, afforded tho
spectators some inkling Of the nature
Of the excursion, which apparently was
o. more than usual import, to the
Laurentfan in particular and to the
Manitou district In general. Some idea
Of the Significance OF the visit Of sue,
