A Current Of "A, 900 Volts,

"There were a, 900 volts of
electricity passing over the wire
which young Lloyd Gibble gripped
at the top of the 47-foot steel
transmission tower near the High
land Park Mill, No. 1, several
days ago." remarked a Charlotte
citizen to all Observer man yester-
day, Had 1T not been for the
automatic circuit breaker with
which the line was equipped the
body Of the young fellow would
have been charred by the passing
current. Forty.four Thousand volts
of electricity is nothing short of
lightning. 1t is a mystery that
the little fellow was not instantly
killed. "-Charlotte Observer.
