Lights Out-The failure of the
electric current last night was caused
by the blowing out of the armature
coil of one of the dynamos due to
overlooking the machine The re-
pairing of this is a long job, as the
coil must be taken down and I'M
wound, the burnt ends brazed to-
gether and then the wire reinsulated
and rewound. Supt. Burks expected
to have it done in time to turn on
the juice this evening, but has found
it impossible to do so. Consequently
the town will be in darkness for an
other night.
