LEONARD LARONE
NEAR To DEATH
FORMER PENDLETON BOY
HAS NARROW ESCAPE.
Saved from Certain Death During
Portland Fire only by Heroic Work
of w. r. Castleman, Fellow Elec-
tric Lineman-Suspended in Mid
Air by Life Wire.

Leonard lie Rome, son of L. L. LIE
Rome of this city, and raised in Pen
dleton. had a narrow escape from a
horrible death during the recent big
fire In Portland, according to the
following from the Portland Oregon
tan:
At Seventh and Burnside streets, a
point several blocks from the scene
of the fire and the big crowds, one
Of the most thrilling features of the
disaster occurred. A lineman hung
suspended in midair upon live wire,
in view OF many persons, and was
finally rescued at the risk of the
lives of his rescuers.
His clothing was partly burned
from his body, and his cries for aid
were plainly heard in the din and
commotion of changing cars, chug-
ging automobiles and shouting men.
For ten minutes he hung imprison-
ed on the wire, until he was rescued
by a fellow lineman and others who
volunteered. The rescue was ex-
ceedingly thrilling and hazardous.
Leonard L LeRone, the lineman,
had climbed to the top of the pole
and was engaged in cutting wires to
aid other linemen and firemen in
averting danger from overhead wires
He lost his footing or in some other
way came in contact with live wire
for he suddenly fell back limp and
apparently lifeless. He was held In
his position on the wire by the buckles
and straps with which he was equip
ped. A number of persons saw hin
hanging there and a crowd q0ickl!
gathered.
As his cries Of fear and pain be
came more distinct, W. r. Castleman
a lineman in the employ Of the Port
land Railway. Light & Power com
pany, arrived. He was also cut

ting wires in the burning district. He
Immediately secured a rope and start
ed up the pole to the other lineman's
rescue.
With him were c. B. Swinehart OF
Seattle, c. NJ. Menzer, 141 West ave.
nue., and a third man whose identity
was withheld. Reachingt he top OF
the pole, Castleman and the others
succeeded in raising the body Of LIE
Ronef rom the wire and holding II
above danger until the rope could
be attached TO his body and the man
himself lowered to the ground.
BY that time a large crowd had as
sembled, and cheers resounded as the
injured man was placed in a car
riage He was removed to st. Vim
cents hospital, where 1t is said he
will recover. He is the son of L. L.
LIE Rome, wealthy citizen of Pendle-
ton, and lives at the Ohio hotel,
Front and Madison streets. His body
was badly burned and his clothing
partially destroyed.
Castleman, whose efforts undoubt-
edly saved the life of the other line
man, has figured conspicuously in
many hazardous undertakings, At the
recent Abingdon building fire he per
formed heroic work in cutting over
head wires and averting great danger
to the crowd which had gathered
Swinehart is a guest at the Oregon
hotel and is a member of the Seattle
Fixture company.
