Hung On For Ills Life

A Swede, employed in the moving of
escape from death or serious injury
Monday morning, and incidentally gave
an exhibition of slack wire gymnastics
that sent thrills through the spectators.
He was on top of the building, raising
the light and telephone wires as the
building passed under. As the building
was leaving Fourth street, where the
wires are thickest, sudden move on
the part of the horses pulling the build
ing caused the wires to catch in the
chimney and tore it down. The Swede
was caught by the wires as they tore
loose from the chimney and was swept
off his feet. He made grab for the
wires, fortunately catching hold of two
of the Great Northern telegraph wires
as he was pulled from the building and
left hanging 20 feet from the ground,
The first shock caused him to turn
double somersault, but he retained his
hold until ladder could be secured.
The ladder was too short and sleigh
was driven under him, which gave suffi-
cient height for the ladder to reach his
feet, enabling him to make his return to
terra firma, after having been hung up
over FIVE minutes He was none the
worse for his experience and thankfully
resumed work

Lively Demand for Houses.

The increasing demand for houses to
rent, is an encouraging sign that prom
ises good business conditions the com
ing wear. A number of new families
are coming to town the heads of which
have found employment in the local
mills. From present indications all the
manufacturing plants in the town and
vicinity will be working full blast very
soon.
Despite the many new homes built in
the past three years there are at present
but few desirable places that can be Sc
cured by the newcomers, not near
enough to supply the demand. New
port seems destined to enjoy healthy
and permanent growth.
