LIVE WIRE NEARLY
 CAUSED A DEATH
Henry WestbrOOk Sustains Loss of Two Fingers When He Took Hold
 of Live Wire.

Henry Westbrook, the young son of B. Westbrook, of No. 1915 West Twelfth avenue, was almost killed yesterday afternoon about 330 o'clock when he was severely shocked by an electric light wire on top of the building occupied by the Mann-Tank- ersley Drug Company. The boy luckily escaped with the loss of two fingers from his left hand and a few ether burns and bruises. The father of the youth is carpenter and was at work on the building. The boy, in some way caught hold of the light wire which was exposed and hanging low on the building. His left hand was badly burned and before he could be released two of his fingers were burned off and his right arm badly burned when he was knocked down across the wire. He was hurriedly taken to Dr. William Crutcher's office where his wounds were dressed.
 Later in the afternoon, when he had sufficiently recovered from his injur- ies he was removed to his home. He was resting easy last night.

 At an early hour this morning Pe- tray appeared at the statehouse and notified the men that they would be expected to lay down their tools at the appointed time and at 10 o'clock it is stated that none of the union men were at work, with the exception of the brick masons and the plasterers who are sail 10 be affiliated with the Building Trades Council
 Cause of the Strike.
 4 The cause for the strike was the or der of Superintendent Barlow of the Miller Brothers Construction Com- pany for the stonecutters to prepare the stone which has been contracted for from the Dugan Cut Stone Con- pany of Bedford, Ind, for placing in the building 1t was stated some time ago that the union men would refuse to handle this stone, from the fact that the Dugan people are said to be using both union and non-union men was announced that representative of the company had been to Bedford and had seen that only union men are at work in the quarries at that time and this statement appeared to settle the matter for the time being. 1 But when the order came to prepare :, the stone, which the union men de- clare is unfair, there was trouble and the Buildings Trades Council met last night for the purpose of taking action on the matter, with the result that all affiliaed trades were ordered out this morning

l will not only give thee wisdom. but wealth and glory And Solomon a"oke; and, behold, it was a dream. we are more or less familiar with the life of Solomon and when he was plac ed on the throne of Israel tbo world turned eyes to the wonders of this great man. Kings and Queens from Tar and near came to hear his wise Judgment, but while it was a good thing to be wise man and a diplomat and to have influence, Solomon fol- lowed the wrong method. Solomon had five or six hundred wives and he gave them money out of his purse to build temple or idols and they wor- shipped false gods and therefore throughout all the land of Israel Solo, mon had violated the first command ment of Almighty God, for God had said Thou shall have no other Gods before thee.

 Three years later the Frenchman came to America and visited Frank lin and during the evening Franklin took him into his study, where he had a miniature world, which worked by clock works, and when he started his miniature world in motion, the Frenchman said MT. Franklin, who made this, and Franklin replied, No one made it, it just happened by chance but the Frenchman insisted that some one must have made it, whereupon Franklin took him out in the evening and pointing to the stars said My friend, who made the stars and this world to turn around and before Franklin concluded the French man said My Lord and My God

This section of the river embodies some of the best fishing grounds on the river, and the banks touching are the fairest that Arkansas affords.
