could be expected.
Mr.. ketchum was clearing the dam
of some logs belonging to the Interna-

went over the dam and fell on rock,
with the result stated. Keeping his
head, instead of drowning in the whirl
pool, he climbed upon the rocks and
was pretty thoroughly chilled several
minutes later when r. f. Savage, night
operator, who with two helpers was
cleaning out the water wheel missed
him and found him on the rocks. So far
as could be learned last evening, there
were no mfavorable developments in
his case
