played the game, having himself in
terrupted seven times by telephone

party he gave sometime ago-they
ate everything on their plates and all
tried to talk at the same time.

Bill .Lomax, a negro bricklayer
employed on the new store being
built at the corner Of Church AMI
Vienna Streets, was knocked from
the scaffolding Thursday afternoon
about 3 o'clock, when he touched a
high voltage wire and fell into a
pile of rocks, bruising himself about
the head and body. His condition. is
serious but is not thought to be
fatal. There is a current of $500
volts in wires on Vienna Street and
the insulation on these wires is no
protection if good connection is
made with the ground. 1t is not
thought that the shock greatly in
jured Lomax, but that it was the
fall caused by the unexpected SHOCK.
