The Salt Lake tribune. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1890-current, 1906-10-22

Of the city, the menace TO life is con
sidered very grave, and the public IS
warned TO stay away from these hang
ing wires. 1t must be borne in mind
that death turks in the live wire and
that all the feed lines throughout the
district named above are charged with
heavy voltage. Don't touch loose
wire.
Army Of Men Making Repairs
By daylight the company had called
upon all the known electrical workers
within reach of their lines OF communi-
cation, and by noon an army OF men
were stretched along the lines of track
age within the city limits striving with
might and main to bring something
like order out of the chaos wrought by
the storm king before darkness should
again cover the general wreck. No less
than fifty expert electricians were en-
gagged to superintend the hazardous
work Of these men, and the results OF
the day S work was all that could be
expected.
In every similar breakdown of this
character the company has experienced
great trouble and expense by the de
struction Of property In the power
houses. An exception is noted in this
case. The machinery of the power
houses is in perfect condition. and 1T
is by reason of this fact that IL has
been possible to restore the service in
the business district with so little de-
lay.
Great Force OF Wind.
An idea OF the great force attained
by the wind, even as late as $3.50 Sun
day forenoon, may be gained from the
of a Salt Lake and Ogden
passenger train a few miles north OF

an engine, baggage car and passen-
ger coach and was headed north. When
at point about half mile this side
of Ccnterville and running at a rate of,
fifteen miles an hour, a furl
Gus cyclonellke gale descended upon the
train, lifting the coach and baggage
car from the track and hurling them
into the. ditch They were wrcnched
free from their engine coupling as
though 1T had been paper and the big
elghty'ton machine held to the rails.
There were hut few passengers in the
coach, and all escaped injury except
Conductor Charles Fletche and Professor
Charles Kent, the well~known musician
The railroad man was slightly cut about
the head, and the professor sustained
several nalnfnl bruises of the limbs and
body, Within few minutes after the
accident the passengers were loaded on
The engine and the retarn trip to the
,lty was made Dr. Baldwin, the com
oany s physician. was called, and dress

Neither was seriously hurt.
AT the home OF Mrs. II. N. Shields,
No, 80 2 street, the wind was so viol
mt that a tall brick chimney which
vas braced with iron rods was blown
lown. The bricks fell IN a heap or
he roof, and rolling down fell through
3e window Of the house next door
south, causing a great deal of damage
lot only to the Shields home but also
o the other house AT the time the

brown all over the room, Fortunately,
however, nc damage was caused by

At the home of John 4, Smith, 23l
Cast Eighth South street, trees sur
