KILLED BY FALLING WIRE.
Walter Jackson Meets Death at the
Chevy Chase PowcrhOusc.

Walter Jackson. colored, twenty yfour
years old, employed as a laborer on the
Chevy Chase branch of the Capital Trac-
tion Company, died at the Emergency Hos
pital at 2 o'clock yesterday as the result
of injuries received while at work at the
Chevy Chase powerhouse at an early hour
yesterday morning. The body was re-
moved TO the former home of the deceased,
at Tenleytown, where it was prepared for
burial. The funeral will occur Saturday
morning.
jackson was the victim of peculiar ac-
cident. He was engaged in shifting reels
of wire at the Chevy Chase powerhouse
While moving one of the reels, weighing
about half a ton, from its axle, the reel
slipped and fell crushing Jackson, who
was PROSTATE on the ground guiding the
movements of the large spindle. The man
was caught under the heavy mass of wire
and frightfully crushed. He was put upon
a car of the Chevy Chase branch line
and carried TO Fourteenth and Streets,
where the car was met by the hospital am
bulance. He had apparently suffered sim
ply severe confusion of the abdomen.
An examination at the hospital developed
that beside the abrasion named Jackson
had sustained a rupture of the liver,
spleen, and kidneys. His death was di-
rectly attributable 10 these injuries. He
was attended in his last moments by Su-
perintendent Claude, of the Chevy Chase
powerhouse, who accompanied the man to
the hospital after he was injured.
