ALMOST ELECTROCUTED.

Walter Cushman, Of Ellsworth, Re-
ceived Severe Shock at Bluehill.
Walter H. Cushman, of Ellsworth, en-
ployed by the Bar Harbor & Union River
Power Co., owes the fact that he is living
to-day to the hard and persistent work Of
]. b. Holmes, who knew what to do in an
emergency, and had presence Of mind
enough t0doit.
Mr.. Cushman was working on the high
tension line at Bluehill last Thursday
morning. He was twenty feet up pole,
working on q transformer. His hands
were protected by rubber gloves, but his
right arm came in contact with one of
the primary wires while his leg touched
the secondary wire, completing the cir
cult. He realized that he was caught, and
tried to free himself before he became un-
conscious.
Mr.. Holmes, who was working with
him, quickly saw his predicament, and
started up the pole with rope to release
him, but Mr.. Cushman fell before he
reached him.
Mr.. Holmes at once began to apply
what first aid he knew. Mr.. Cushman's g
pulse had stopped, and he was apparently
dead. Hardly one in the crowd that
gathered but believed him dead, including
q physician who felt his pulse. But Mr..
Holmes did not give up. He began work
on Mr.. Cushman, and, aided by Joseph
Gray, who had been working with
him, and others whom he impressed
into the service, worked desperately to
restore heart action. He kept at it per-
sistently-some say fifteen minutes, some
half an hour-long after others had given
up hope, and was finally rewarded by
signs Of life.
Mr.. Cushman was taken to the home OF
his sister, Mrs. Andrew M. Moor, in Blue
hill, and rapidly recovered. The fact that
he received the shock before he had eaten
breakfast aided in his recovery, and be
escaped the usual after effects Of severe
shock. Except for the severe burns on
arm and leg and bruises from the fall oi
twenty feet, he is now fully recovered,
and will be brought to his home in Ellis
worth to-day.

who was in there preparing to take the
car out. About this time Mr.. Jones
came up and went into the shed. The
negro ran the car outside and in a
very shot time heard DR.. McCalla
calling him. He went back into the
garage and just about the time that he
reached DR.. McCalla's side the first
shot was fired, which took effect in
the right side Of the Doctors chest
and would have been sufficient to
cause death. The wounded man
stepped back about two steps then
fell backwards, his head falling just
outside the door of the house Mr.
Jones then walked toward the door,
firing another shot into the wounded
mans head as he passed. This bull
let entered DR.. McCalla's forehead just
above the right eyebrow, passed
through his head and came out on
the other side. That the shot was
fired at close range was evidenced by
the powder marks on the dead mans
face. The pistol used was a AS cali
bre Colts automatic. Mr.. Jones then
walked on out and met Mrs. McCalla
telling her what he had done.

rem increased, the pressure of that
button brought another helper and
sometimes still more; the library was
an adjunct of education, and one who
is not cognizant with the facts would
be surprised to learn how many OF
the common run of the school child
rem were after books that had been
recommended to them in school. or
from which school exercises had been
quoted. My! how | recall my heart
longings often to know more about
the story from which an exercise in
the school reader had been drawn.
In my readings that winter in a
certain history frequent fOot-nOtes re-
ferred to a book l had never seen; on
inquiry | was told it was not in the
circulating department, but Namong
reference books; but on application l
was permitted to take it home for an
indefinite period. Last week | spoke
of that book "Pemberton, published
just after DIR. Mitcheps Hugh Wynn
ne" came out. | inquired for that
book under its original title, and fin
ally had an interview with DR.. Green,
telling him about the plagiarism charge
regarding it. He had never happened
to hear of it. Two days afterward
received note saying he had borrow
ed the book from the Boston public
library for my use, and it awaited my
call Thus, you see, the new idea of
librarians is that their books are for
the public, whose they are, just as
your own books in your home; to be
used, and if worn and defaccd, why,
such things happen TO your own
books; its only wear and tear of the
rublic'S own property; small matter il
even many books in the aggregate
are worn or even lost, il the public
has proGted by them; that's what they
are for: use, use. And the damage
should be charged off to profit and
loss.
Frequently in one of those big Ii
htarius when | told the librarians Of
books out OF the ordinary run, of
which they had not happened to hear,
as some Australian books, they inn
mediatcly sent for them and held
them for my use; and after a while
asked me to be one OF a number OF
common citizens willing to read books
for them to ascertain whether they
We're suitable and desirable for their
shelves; WHICH shows another fact
there is much more care than former
! ly in. the selection of books for public
use; some books that should be in
cluded in the collection of a large Ii
brary are not suitable for common
circulation, Hox.
