Dangerous Electric Wire.
One small wire on a telephone pole came
near causing two deaths the last twenty
four hours. Last night a small boy reached
up and caught hold Of the dangling end Of
the wire, supposing 1t was only a telephone
wire, but 1t appears that the wire had be-
come connected with the electric light wires
and as the boy caught hold the fingers of his
hand were burned of. The fact that he let
loose Immediately saved his life. A line
man was sent to repair the wire and he
climbed to the top Of the pole this morning.
AS he did SO he received the current and
was knocked from the pole to the ground
and seriously injured about the head.
