Miles of Newport was in Burlington
Thursday and served the papers upon the
officials Of the telephone company. The
case is returnable in Orleans county court.
Drown was employed by the telephone
company and while working for them May
4. 1905, in Graniteville, came in contact
with live electric wires which were owned
by the Consolidated Lighting Company.
The top of his head was so badly buried
that portion of his brain was exposed, he
lost his eyesight and was otherwise in

are liable because the wires of the lighting
company were only 27 inches above the
wires of the telephone company and were
therefore so located that workman could
not ascend the pole and work with safety.
