HAMPERS WITH ELEVATOR
Impatient Passenger Takes County
Building Lift Into His Own Hands
With Startling Results.

What might have been serious in
cident, but which fortunately proved to
be only an affair OF deep concern and
delay TO n number of persons happened
at the city and county building carly
this morning. Shortly before O'Clock
Harold King. tine elevator operator
stepped for n moment from the cage
and during his absence 1t was entered
by o. II. Skidmore and several other
people. including two ladies. Skidmpre
who Is electrical inspector In the office
of the city engineer took upon himself
to give the passengers lift. He start
ed the machinery all right by pressing
the button, but as the cage began to
ascend in jerky manner, he became
excited and in manipulating the vari-
Gus keys IN an endeavor to stop, short
circuit was effected, and the cage was
beyond control.
The elevator went within foot or
two of the top and then gradually de-
scended nearly to the basement of the
building, where 1t stopped half way
between two landings, making II i'm.
possible for the occupants to get out.
There they remained for mn hour,
while Engineer sid Case was repair
ing the havoc that had been wrought
by Skidmore's foolishness. The entire
face of the switch that controls the ele-
Vator was burned ana had TO De nled 10
produce rough surface before the ma
chinory could again be started.
While repairs were going on. the cage
load of passengers We're imprisoned,
while the many persons employed in tho
building, as well as persons having
business to attend to i'll the various Of
fees. were compelled to walk up and
down the stairs, Skidmore's action was
severely criticised by many persons in
and about the building today
Engineer Case says the cage is a
very safe and reliable one, or the
chances for an escape from injury
would have been very slight The ele-
vator was more than likely to have
gone through the roof, or to have fallen
to the bottom of the shaft. In either
case it would have meant great injury,
and perhaps death, to the load of pas
sengers.
