The notices which We're sent out a
few days ago to such owners of dogs
as had neglected to pay the amount
required by law in order that their
pets be permitted to exist and to enjoy
the freedom of the city are bearing
fruit and have resulted in the payment
to the authorities of quite a respect
able sum of money. There We're in the
city about 200 dogs on which the tax
had not been paid, and it is the de-
termination of the authorities that the
money shall be paid. They do not de-
sire to deprive the dogs of the pleas
ures Of life, but the law is imperative
and it is up to the owners of the dogs
to decide whether they will go down
into their jeans for $1.15 or $3.15, as
the case may be- or give up the dogs.

Franklin's paper the statesman. (Denver, Colo.) 1906-1912, 1908-05-02

ceivable that the Colorado Political
Club would permit such an outrage in
its name, and even with the evidence
in hand that such a demand has been
made, The Statesman will not believe
this act represents the opinions of the
membership until they acquiesce by
their silence. 1t cannot be claimed
that this money was sought to pay
off legitimate campaign bills. such as
workers and meetings. for it is well
known that nowadays politics is well
organized along business lines and all
such accounts would be paid from
headquarters without go-betweens.
1t is up to the men who have thus

ELECTRICIAN RECEIVES
SHOCK OF $1,000 VOLTS
Michael Rooney Applies Nippers
to Wrong Wire and is
Fatally Burned

Working on high pole above the
ground in the plant of the San Fran
cisco gas and electric company at the
Potrero, Michael Rooney. an electrician,
applied his steel nippers to the wrong
wire yesterday and received high
pressure current of 5000 volts through
his body
There was a binding fash and re-
port that shook the building as the
current was short circuited and
Rooney, shocked instantly into insensi-
biiity and with hands and face burned
TO crisp, was thrown backward with
such force that the thick leather strap
by which he was fastened to the pole
was broken. He fell 80 feet That he
did not meet instant death other en-
ployes at the plant say was marvellous
Rooney was taken to the emergency
hospital, where he is expected to die.
Even should he live he would be dis
figured for life and his terribly burned
hands would have to be amputated
So great was the heat of the electric
fash that the ends of the steel nip-
pers were melted Rooney, who lives
at 1870 Tennessee street, had climbed
the pole TO disconnect wire of minor
Importance, but made a mistake and
chose the wrong wire The current
that flowed through him was several
times greater than that used in killing
criminals at Sing Sing penitentiary in
