Heports from the hos pital appear to be favorable for the patient. Hovering within the shadow of death, Harry Martin, of Minneapolis, ...for the past two months employcdhy the C. A. Smith Lumber company, lies in the Mercy Hospital at North Bend awaiting the end in an un conscious condition. The base of his skull was fractured by a fall of twen ty feet whllo working on the new mill yesterday nfternoon, and In splto of the efforts of Bevcral physi cians, his life is despaired of. Since he was tenderly ..carried to the hospital from the mill, Martin has never recovered consciousness. Drs. Mingus and McCormac did everything Hi their power to revive him, but without avail. They aro satisfied that the young man has a blood clot on the brajn from tho violence of the blow to his head, and Cat It is useless to attempt an oper ation which could only end In speed ing tho angel of death. Martin was standing on a scaffold ing, about twenty feet from the floor, whllo whitewashing tho Inner part of tho mill yesterday. In a lit of ap l.avont nbbtracclon, or dizziness, ho stopped backward from the board on which ho was tandlng, and fell heav ily to the floor below, lauding on his bend. Tho mill launch was speedily se cured and tho Injured man was care fully curled on board and hurried to the hospital.

Friends of tho unfortunato Martin sat with him all during the night and morning. They could not bear to Jeavo him, and .great grief Is felt over tho accident which It Is expected can not end other than fatally. Tho mill management s taking as much Inter est In tho ease as anybody else, as t,ho young may was considered very bright, and had mnde numerous friends since his sojourn in this city. Martin's father in Minneapolis was telegraphed for last night by tho lumber company, which sent a mes fliigo to its Minneapolis oflleo to fliul him and Inform him of his son's con dition. No word has been received up to noon today. Friends of Martin say that hU ago Is about -- years. Ho was an un usually Hue specimen of manhood and came west for tho experience of mill life.
