boys, Look out for Live wires-city
Electrician Michaelsen warns the small
boys to keep their hands off the ropes used
for hosting the street arc lights. Two
youths near Forty-second and Farnam
streets united the knot in the rope holding
the arc light in place and the lamp fell
and was shattered In pieces. Mr.. Michael
sen says 1t is not so much the damage done
to the lights that he objects to as the
great danger in tampering with them. The
wires are all "alive' and the boys run the
risk Of being electrocuted. Tell the boys
not TO meddle," says the city electrician.

secured title to the land surrounding the
sea, commonly known as Cutoff lake, It
