The EXETER for the big dynamo at
the city lighting plant burned out
Wednesday morning and was shipped
to Minneapolis for repairs. An EXETER
from the college was brought down
to the plant to be used as a Subsii-
tute but considerable trouble was
found with it and it was necessary
to use the small dynamo last night
for lighting purposes and parts Of the
city were without light at various
| times because the small generator is
! not large enough to carry the load in
the evening. AS Don as the EXETER is
returned from Minneapolis everything
will be as satisfactory as usual ac-
cording to Superintendent Hyde. The
plant, however. needs a new genera
tor of a larger type in order to give
consistent satisfactory service for
both of the dynamos in use at present
are ~overworked.
Three men were injured in an acct

third workman who fell, but he es-
capped with minor injuries. HIS back
was wrenched somewhat. II is ex.
tremely fortunate that the accident

was a dangerous fall for all OF the men
and their escape seems almost miracu-
lous.
