way bridge thirteen Danes west of
Kamloops, and just east of Cherry
Creek. s The bridge spanned an arm of
KamloopsLake, and was a 'Howe trusR
structure, 125 feet in- length. The inci-
dent was attended by an exhibition of
pluck on the part of a railway laborer
that is much oftener seen in melo-
drama tban in real life, But for him
the westgoing express would probably
have been precipitated into the water.
This C.P.11., watchman discovered the
fire just in time for him to flag two
trains that were east and west bound
respectively. It was late at night, and
in order to make sure of stopping the
eastbound train the watchman 'heroic-
ally swam across the stream at its
junction with the lake and flagged the
train. He made the trip back and
flagged the westbound train. The pas-
sengers on both are warm in praise of
his action.

cuted by a live wire last night. Lowe
was engaged in repairing a broken
trolley vire • at the earner of Arthur
and Brock streets, and was on top of
•,a high waggon used, for that purpose,
and while putting the two ends of the
wire together in seine manner his body
formed a cireint, and in a moment the
untortunate man was doubled up with
the full voltage of the wire. Had it
not been for Ms timely rescue by an
eye-witue.ss, Lows would assuredly
have been killed. He was released
from the wire with difficulty, and for
a time suffered convulsions caused by
the shock. His bands were also ter-
ribly burned. •
