Earl McManus was severely shocked last Friday while leaning against an awning rod to Bivens Bros. store on Main street. Mr. Blair Bivins and some of the clerks in the store heard cries for help from the young man and they went to his assistance and Mr. Bivens jerked him from against the rods. He suffered no bad effects from the fright which was caused by a short circuit which turned the electricity in the wrong direction. Mr. McManus lives on Mr. J.W. Laney’s farm two miles south of town.
