long as result of his efforts.
While l.. L. Work was with and oil
the crowd of his fellow-citizens who
took train down the branch Monday
with Conconully as their objective
point, he was not one of the unfortu-
mates who had to figure in the court
proceedings. He was headed for

interested.
Albert Pratt is visiting with his
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. A. s. Pratt. The
young man has been living in north
eastern Oregon for the past two or
three years, and expects to return in

quite a chunk of man, and entirely
out of the recognition of those who
knew him in Loomis years ago when
he was kid.
A more beautiful sight can hardly
be imagined than the high school
building at night under full illumina-
ton. Situated on it's commanding
site, with every story from basement
to roof lit up, it can be seen for miles,
the electric lights burning bright holes
in the darkness, beacon of bril-
liancy that appeals to the eye and ex-
cites the most flattering commenda-
ton from all who see it. The citizen
who can look upon it without feeling
a thrill of pride is dead to all civic
loyalty. Last Friday evening every
window in the big school house was
aglow, holding out a warm welcome
to the visiting Molsonites, and the
picture was beautiful to look upon.
The neighbors from off the hill were
warm in their praise not only of the
illumination, but after they had ex-
amined the interior, of the modern
building itself.

New London Appreciation.

It is little more comfortable now adays. the process of reading the Nor Wich Bulletin since they. began print ing IL on a new press and all in one piece. Heretofore it had 8 supplement. ana sometimes you laid down the sup plement while you were reading the other part, and then forgot the sup plement, and so missed, maybe, the pest part or the news. But it is all news in the Norwich Bulletin. They take pride in trying to beat the record of putting more different items on in formation general and particular toa day than they had yesterday And then at the end of the week they brae about it two columns wide in the cen tre of the first page. A newspaper Is certainly going some when it Igives its readers 1122 items of telegra phic information. 891 local, 2233 general news paragraphs, all in one week which was the record for last week The Bulletin is certainly great news paper. serving it's constituency to the full measure of what is happening.- New London Globe.

MET DEATH IN FALL
 ONTO ELECTRIC WIRE
Henry J. KiIroy, Jr, Instantly Killed m
 Tragic Accident at City Barn.

Henry J. Kilroy, Jr.. was electrocuted Wednesday afternoon about o'clock at the city barn. He and WllllaHl Racine, sheet metal workers, employed by John O. Johnson, were Worklng yn the roof of the barn, laying slate. Kill TOW was working near the chimney on the north side of the barn, facing Chestnut street, while Racine was on the same side on the south end. Tn some manner unknown kilroy eltner slipped or lost his balance ana as tne chimney is almost right on the edge or the barn he went off and landed on the electric light wires. The wires that ne fell upon had a voltage of 2,SOO. ana as soon as he struck them he was m stantly killed. He hung suspended Tor a few minutes in the air and then feil to the ground, landing half on the side walk and gutter.
 People who happened to be near the scene said that they heard loud sig zling noise, snd on looking up toWaros the place where the sound came, smoke and fire could be seen, and that the young man, with outstretched arms, stiff as a poker, hung suspended with his chin and neck resting on the wires. It was found later that he was badly burned around the abdomen and that his neck was burned through to his windpipe.
 Kilroy did not make an outcry. for his fellow workman did not hear the least noise until, he heard the sizzling sound, and looking around, he found his companioll on the wires with clouds of smoke and fire around him. Racine. who was protected by rubber sole shoes, was able to reach Kilroy with his feet and push him from the, wires. The electrocution was witnessed by quite number of people and when the body fell to the ground several people felt of the young mans pulse, but not the least sign of life was in evidence. The body was carried into M B. Rings garage and Drs- Callahan, Cassidy and Kimball were called, and all three responded very quickly. In the young mans. hand was found a handkerchief and it is supposed that he was wiping his face with it, as the day was very hot. and in doing so possibly lost his balance. The burn around his throat was very severe, as the flesh was laid open nearly from ear | to ear.
