Shocks of All Sizes Running Loose About
st. Louis.
ST. LOUIS, January 2-The heavy rain
storm of yesterday and last night sadly de-
moralized all kinds of electric wires. About
eight o'clock in the evening an electric
light wire fell to the ground at the corner
of Seventh and Morgan streets. A few
moments later Mr.. and Mrs. Smith and
their little dog passed the corner. The dog
touched the wire and was a corpse in q
jiffy. Mrs. Smith ran to the dog, and not
seeing the wire, stepped on it and was
thrown some distsnce and fell unconscious.
Her husband sprarg to pick her up and
received severe shock, but was not
rendered insensible. Mrs. Smith was re-
stored to consciousness by physician but
had narrow escape from death. A crowd
collected and George Reeves coming in
contact with the wire, was knocked ipseL-
sible. A fireman named Hogan rushed to
the rescue and was very severely shocked.
Reeves was so badly hurt that he was sent
to the city hospital. A horse was killed
by stepping on fallen wire on the corner
Of Vandevoort and Finney avenues, and
several other minor accidents occurred in
different parts Of the city.
