Last week we wrote few lines in re-
gard to Edward Blxby, this week we
copy the following from a Massachu-
sets paper. Aug. Is. Edward N.
BiXby, aged 26, was electrocuted this
afternoon in the mill of the Fitchburg
Paper Company when $50 volts passed
through his body. Bixby and Milton
Bennett were making repairs on large
motor and it was supposed that the
work was completed. Bixby was left
at the motor while Bennett went to the
transformer house to turn on the cur
rent. Michael Drscoll, fireman, was
attracted by the odor of something
burning and entering the room where
the motor was located he found Bixby
lying over the wiring. He called back
to Bennett to turn off the current.
BiXby was dead There was a small
burn on the palm of the left hand and
this was all that could be found by DIR.
r. G. Jones. 1t is believed that Bixby
took hold of the wire that was attached
to the electric motor and IN some
way completed a Circuit. BiXby is sur
vived by his mother.

Magog Dam eaks.

On account of high water last week
serious break occurred in the big dam
of the Dominion Mills company at Ma
cog, P. @. There was weakness in
the retaining wall which developed Au-
gust oath, and in three days it extended
to the dam itself taking away about
sixty feet including the gate.
This Immediately resulted in a ire
mendous flow from Lake Memphrema-
cog which is the great storage basin.
The big lake was lowered about two
inches during the night. There is a
storage of SIX feet or more in Lake
Mtmphremagog and this will no doubt
be rapidly drained.
Since the break occurred lengthy
conference has been held between the
parties principally concerned and it has
been decided to build an emergency
dam just below the bridge sufficient to
hold the waters back.
The emergency dam to be constructed
is what is known as crib dam.

sometimes grow very bred. Let
