Fighters Sustain Electric ShOcks'
The heavy storm which passed over
this city Saturday morning was the
cause of much damage in various
places. Probably the most damage
was done at the restaurant of Let's q
Flanniean. on Salem avenue. which be-
came ignited from converter.
The fire was first discovered in the
cellarway by Mr.. Flanagan. who a,
once tried to put it out ON going TO
turn on the water ne received a heavy
shock and he then discovered that the
place was electrified. Finally water
was secured but this only made bet
ter conductor for the electric current
Messengers We're then sent TO Superln-
tendent Nicholson, of the Electric LiSht
company. but before he arrived the tire
was out This was done by cutting the
electric wires after which the names
were easily suhdueo.
The fire was caused by n converter
on the electric pole opposite the build
ing being ignited and the heavy wind
blew the flames across the sidewalk TO
the building. An attempt to rouse the
fire companies by @. w. Fuikerson
proved failure. 1t is said that the
current which entered the building was
at least 1000 volts.
