LIFE SAVED BY A STRAP.

Frank WAhl, telegraph lineman 10
the employ of Charles 81. Kuox, super
inteDdent of the baltimore county fire
alarm system. had a narrow escape
from death yesterday morninR while
repairing the lines in Canton. Shocked
by coming In contact with q heavily
charged wire. he plunged head down
ward from s60-foot pole, and when death
seemed imminent the straps which
fasteu the climbing spurs on his legs
caught on an iron spike about 20 feet
from the ground and held him suspend
ed in midair until rescued by compan-
ions.
Wahl, with Superintendent Knox
and another lineman, we're repairing
lines belonging TO the county on
Clinton street. 10 the course OF the
work Wahl assembled pole near Third
avenue. He bad cotton up among the
net work OF wires, when suddenly his
companions on the ground heard him
cry out and simultaneously saw the
mans muscles stifien and then relax,
as il be had received heavy charge OF
electricity. 10 few seconds small
curls OF smoke began issuing from the
linemsn's clothes, and ii was evident
that unless something was done he
would soon be beyond help. A second
linemsn assembled the pole with the in'
tention of cutting the wires, but when
he had nearly reached vantage point,
10 his excitement he dropped the wire
cutters and was forced to descend.
Wall suddenly released his grasp on
the pole and for a moment hung head
downward, holding only with his legs.
Seeing that the man would fall, several
men, among whom were Mr.. John
Feehley and Mr.. Knox, stood under
the pole ready to break his fall. For q
moment the suspense lasted, when the
swaying man plunged downward, but
20 feet from the ground the straps
caught over the hook and the man
hung suspended In midair. 10 few
minutes Wahps companions went up
the pole and brought him to the
ground.
Wahl's hands we're terribly burned
by the electric current, end large alb
rasion on the hip showed where the
wire had cut into the flesh. The mans
clothes were burned almost entirely of.
He was taken to the Canton police
station, where, after getting change
OF clothes, he was assisted to the city
hospital.
VAIL Ia about "a years old and resides
at Govanstown. His injuries, while ex-
tremely painful. are not considered
serious. The wire which caused the
accident is said to have contained 2,40O
volts.
