shock of electricity or overbalanced,
which he Is not sure, and fell. He
retained his presence and mind and
endeavored to throw his body so that
it would fall In the supply wagon
which was standing underneath.
He struck the mule attached to the
vehicle, however, and slid from Its
back between the shafts, where he be
came entangled. The animal became
frightened and started down tho road
at a lively gait, Mr. McManus' left
leg nnd side being dragged along the
road. He was still conscious and
managed to extricate himself after ho
had been dragged about BOO feet and
threw himself over against a fence.
The mule kept on, but was stopped a
short dlstnnce beyond.
Mr. McMnnus was picked up and re
moved to his home In Forest court,
where his Injuries were nttended by
by Dr. O'Malley. His entire left sldo
and leg are badly bruised and lacer
