one. He was in Corvallis Saturr
day on business for the electric
light company, for which he works
when he received a shock, perhaps
thousand volts,, which did not
seem to affect him much at' the
time. He returned to Albany.sang
in the Baptist church on Sunday
morning and retired at 10 o'clock
that night. It was . thought the
aiext morning that he had gone
skating but as he did not appear
'at noon his room was visited and
;he was found on the floor where he
; had been lying for some time. Dr.
' Trimble was called and Mrs.
Blount and others gave him, splen
did care, and sent for his mother
at Corvallis , who came over, yes
terday it was thought best to take
him to the hospital, where he is
now, and doing well.

fast Jar as Missouri, but he. didn't
stay long. He was not run out of

Kansas City. ; After a day spent
trh rs he concluded that Oreeoa

night in a westbound coach with
his face in the direction of Oregon
