Automobile Man
ElectrOCuted
In Garage At
Jacksonville

Jacksonville, Sept. Isl c.
Oliver, proprietor of the automobile
garage at % East Beaver street, was
electrocuted in his place of business
at about Z O'Clock Saturday night
while repairing damaged electric
light. MIR. Oliver was dead when a
physician and policemen with the
city pulmotor arrived upon the
scene.
Together with two workmen, c. F.
Stewart, white, from Atlanta, and
Jes Anderson, negro, who lives at
433 West State street, was at work
on an automobile in order that the
owner could get it as had been prom
Used. They were working by the il
Elimination of two electric lights, or
binary sized globes, which were sus-
pended from the ceiling by insulated
wires.
Tried to Fix Light
One of these lights got out of or
was accidentally broken by the
workmen. Mr.. Oliver took out his
pocket knife, and just as he began
to fix the first light with it, the two
workmen left the garage to "tryout"
a car on which they had previously
been working.
Consequently no one was with the
unfortunate man when he received
the electric shock which killed him
People residing on the opposite side
Of Beaver street heard him cry out
frantically for help three times
One man ran across the street to see
what caused the cutlery.
Found Man Dead
The two workmen, who stated
they were only absent from the ga
rage about five minutes, ran into the
Worship at the back of the garage
on their arrival and found the bod!
of Mr.. Oliver in one corner OF th'
room. BY his side lay the harmless
looking light globe attached to 1T
line of insulated wire. The victim
was apparently dead at that moment
The police department was mott
fed, and officers securing the cit.
pulmotor rushed to the garage AL
though it was plain to the policemen
that life was extinct, the pulmoto
was placed in operation.
Was Beyond Medical Aid
While thus engaged, DR.. r. II
Dean arrived. He injected powerful
heart stimulant, but stated that l
had no effect, as there was no bloo
circulation in the body of Mr.. Oliver
Various methods of artificial respira
ton were also tried. Funeral Direc
tor Marcus Conant was summoned t
take the body to be prepared for in
terment.

ported in yesterdays official statement
were captured.
Further south, the Italian center
broke through the Austrian lines for
an advance OF nearly a mile east OF
Oppachisella. The artillery attack on
the enemy's lines reached Its greatest
violence in this region. The Austrian
defenses were pulverized, and attacking

{Boothbay Register, Oct az


Work on the building of the new
wooden bridge between this town and

direction OF VIII s. Reed, acting for

The draw has been removed from the
old bridge and other work in taking un
the old bridge has been done to permit
OF the building of the new structure
In the same location. except that the
new one is to be about three feet high
er above the water than the old one
was. to allow more freedom for small
boats to go under without removing
the draw.
The town Of Southport raised SO 900
for the work and $4,000 Is to be paid
by Boothbay Harbor in ten INSTALL
ments of $500 each. The state has
appropriated $500 for assistance in
the work. 1t was designed to build the
bridge Of steel. but when plans had
been prepared the price of structural
steel had gone so high the work could
not be undertaken. The selectmen Of
Southport in consultation with the
State highway department decided to
