Under the system which he is engaged to advocate our lives would be spent in one continual round of requisitions, referendums and recalls. A Los Angeles labourer, Joseph Crist, went to sleep ou a railroad right-of-way recently, and woke up in a coffin in an undertaker’s morgue. In his sleep he had thrown one leg across the rail, and a passing suburban electric train cut off his foot. When he was found it was believed that he was dead, and an undertaker was called, and the man removed to the mortuary, where he remained in a state of suspended animation for several hours. The doctors think that he has an excellent chance of recovery.

At the inquest ou Elva Marion Woodley, aged five, at Rongotea, deceased’s cousin, Amy Hosena Woodly, aged 16, gave evidence that when she was driving a trap deceased, who was sifting on the seat, suddenly stood up and overbalanced herself, and though wituess caught hold of her clothing she fell ou the wheel and thence on the road. The horse was trotting slowly. Deceased had got up and walked on the grass at the side of the road. She then lay down on the grass on her face. In reply to a question, she said her stomach was sore and asked for her mother. Dr. Steudahl deposed he found deceased in a dying condition. The only external marks were a bruise on the chin and an abrasion on the right hand. She was vomiting, but there was no signs of bleeding from the nose or mouth. She was breathing irregularly, her pulse could not be felt, and she died in about five minutes. Death was due to hemorrhage of the brain.
