FELL ACROSS WIRES.

The pipe that the men were placing
is about 10 inches in circumference.
1t was being placed 50 that cement
could be run into n. form near the edge
of the building, when 1t Slipped from
the ropes that held it and came across
the high voltage wires. There was a
blur, flash, and II smell of burning
flesh and Pratt was seen to drop back
OH the floor. The other men also fell.
Tlmekeeper Powell rushed UP the lad
der and everybody became excited.
Pratt never spoke q word after the ac-
cidcnt happened. The. other workrnen
removed the pipe from tho wires and
several of them received minor shocks
in doing so. Then the police came. and
the work OF rcscuinE the injured from
the roof Of the building began.
Several thousand volts of electricity
must have shot through the pipe as it
touched the wires because the body OF
Pratt does not show even Il burn.
Pratt is married and has family.
He WAS about 40 years OF agee. Ho
lived with his Wife and three children
at $40 north Third West street. He was
n member of Local 1874 Brotherhood of
Carpenters. Business Agent Wilkes of

Instantly ecctrocuted shortly before
noon today when u large steel cement
pipe he and others were placing on the
roof of the building fell across high
voltage wire of the Utah Light & Rail
way company that ran alongside Of tho
building.
Cecil Mathews. carpenters helper

shocked and is in such condition that
his recovery is doubtful. He was taken
to the Holy Cross hospital
w. NJ. Cole, a laborer on the building.
was badly burned and went to the hos
pital with DR.. H. A. Hosmer, who was
called just after the accident.
That many of the other worknen as
sistine in the placing of the heavy pipe
were not shocked by the terrible volt
age that went coursing through 1t as 1t
met the wire Is wondered at by all
those on the building AT the time.
For nearly an hour the injured men
lay on the roof of the building which
is high above the ground. The work
is in charge of the Trent Engineering
company. who are the contractors for
the building. and w. l. Powell, the timc-
keeper for the company, seems to have
been the only one in charge at the time.
POIJCE ON THE SCENE
When the police arrived, Patrolmcn
Phillips. Armstrong, Eckstead and Giles
did noble work In bringing the men to
the ground. Pratt was still alive q
few minutes after the accident, and DIR. A
lIosmer stated that had his fellow
workmen possessed presence of mind
enough to direct the workmen to keep
up respiration artitlclally. his life might
have been saved.
When the four policemen arrived on
foot. the men were still on top of the
roof and no attempt had even been
made to get medical attendance. OH,
ger Phillips Immediately telephoned for
the police auto and the work OF rescu-
ing the injured and dead men from the
roof of the building began.
officer Armstrong took off his coat
and went to the roof among the wires,
Whlle Phllllps directed the work from
below. a scaffoldins was made and
the. body of Pratt was the first to reach
the ground. Dr. Hosmer examined it
at once and pronounced life extinct.
In few minutes more Cole and
Mathews were back OH the ground and
being rushed to the hospital. Mathews
Is only shocked, but SO seriously that
hc could not move n muscle. Cole Is
badly burned about the hands and arms
where he came In contact with the
charged pipe.
