The shock was so severe that the man died few minutes after being taken to the company's emer- gency hospital close by. pr. J. N- Bull and Dr. J. C. Tanner hurried to the scene, but their efforts to revive the man were fruitless. A pulmotor was sent from the Bristol and Plain vile Tramway Trolley company, and. after an hours work or more, ob- tained no results. The body was re- moved to the undertaking rooms of James Dunn in Bristol, after permis- sion had been given by Medical 'Ex- aminer J. c. Moody. Mir. Woods is survived by his wife and his mother and father, MT. and Mrs. M. Woods of Bristol.
 Woods was a machinist and was drilling holes in a surface grinder with an electric drill. During this opera tion he was sitting on the electric motor which drives the machine. The current passed through his body from the motor to the drill. The force of the shock threw him several feet. First aid was rendered until the arrival of the doctors, but life was extinct when they arrived.

The taking of bicycles has been practice throughout the town of late, and an effort will be made to stop it.
