M0T0RMAN SHOCKED.
Chris Petersen Has Narrow Escape
From Live Wire.

Moiorman Chris Petersen OF the east

call yesterday at Ninth South ana
Ninth East streets, where high ten
sion wire was found broken, Petersen
failed to stop and think OF the diiter-
encc IN the strength of the current In
trolley wire and the high tension cir
cult, and got on his car to throw the
wire out OF his way. He had no sooner
touched 1t than he described the seq
ment OF q trajectory as though shot out
OF gun, landing some distance away.
wrong side up, and very much without
care, exclaIming, "Oh | am dying
Fortunately the red wagon" was
right behind Petersens car and one
OF the men rushed up with a broom
handle and knocked the sizzling wire
from the motorman's paralyzed grasp.
The latter staggered TO his feet, APP
parently but little Injured; and though
somewhat dazed Petersen finished his
run, and then took lay off to recuper-
ate.
A curious phase OF the incident, was
the impromptu manufacture Of glass on
the spot by the electricity, The return
wire was Of course dead. but the out
ward bound wire was very much alive,
and on striking the ground made good
connection with the power plant. The
intense heat fused the silica In the sand
at the point OF contact, transferring
quite q bunch OF Il into crude glass.
The same thing happened last october
when high tension wire broke and
the current was grounded.

was applied here. A rock In a hand
