Stlnson, who picked up a live wire
on November 2, 1802, and received
the force of 5000 volts of electricity,
is suing the Portland General Blectric
company for $10,150 as compensa
tion foe the injuries.
Stlnson was employed by the Gen
eral Electric company as a lineman.
and was engaged in running a wire
Into the old power house in north
Portland. He allege, that he was
told by a workman. Sladen, that a
j certain wtie was "dead"; that he laid
hold of the wire and fell senseless,
and that he was "laid out" by by
standers in the belief that life was
extinct
Policeman Hoseling swore thst he
assisted In handling what people
thought to be the dead body of Stln
son. but that by vigorous work they
succeeded in resuscitating him.
Stlnson's lawyers, John Logan and
Charles Lord, allege that he is in part

A. position. Said Toung wa. a man who
could naturally love two women. He
had great sympathy for the widow in
her bereavement, but the verdict of
the Jury, whatever It waa. could not
bring her husband back. Levy de
clared no evidence was brought out to
show that Toung tried to get rid of
the defendant
Sprung a Nensntlon.
Levy caused a sensation by declar
ing that Luce purchased the revolver
with which Toung was killed.
"H swore here that he had been
in Stein's pawnshop, but not Jane 8.
Why was he there, then? Luce was
the last man who saw Young that
morning. Perhaps he may have
given it to him that he might carry

When Levy closed, a recess was

San Francisco, Dec. 21. Jimmy
Brltt secured the decision over "Bat

rounds of fierce fighting. Both men
fought until almost exhausted and
the decision was given on points.
Nelson fought with the flrrreiteasi
of a tiger and did not appear In any
worse form than his plucky antagon
ist when the gong sounded on tha
lust round, but Brltt showed the most
science and ring generalship.
In the closing round the California
boy was punching the Chicago boy
all over the ring, but his blows lack
ed sufficient force to put a quietus on
his opponent.
At several stages of the fight Nel
son was budly punished, but Ire al
ways kept gamely coming up In tha
tiring line. Only once did he have
the local boy In dl.treaa. and then
Brltt's excellent generalship and tho
advice of his seconds saved him front

There la much diversity of opinion
as to the advisability of holding the

The fact that the dairy tests are to
