BOY STRETCHED ON LIVE
WIRES

Chicago, July 5.-Stretched
across live wires of the Sani-
tary District power plant with
10000 volts of electricity pass
ing through his body and blue
flames shooting from his ex-
tremities, Nicholas Maronish,
IS years old, of Evanton, lay for
half an hour yesterday while
efforts were made to rescue
him. He was taken down fin
ally, burned 80 badly that both
of his legs had to be amputated.
His 16 year.old brother, Joseph,
who attempted to lift him and
had fallen from the top of the
50-foot pole as the result of the
shock, was also taken in charge
by physicians. 1t is not believ-
ed the older boy will live. The
younger has a chance to re.
cover. No one knows how
Nicholas happened to climb to
the perilous position.
Both the police and fire de.
partments were notified and
men hurried to the scene. A
large crowd had gathered and
witnessed the lads tortue while
attempts were being made to
raise the Fl r e departments
longest ladder. 1t failed t o
reach the hanging legs of the
boy.
A half hour had passed since
the boy had been discovered on
the wire. Suddenly his body
was seen to relax and hang
limp. This was the first signal
the crowd underneath had that
the current had been shut off.
The boy was then lowered
with ropes to the ground and
removed to a hospital along
with his brother. He had not
lost consciousness, the doctors
declared, until the current had
been shut off.
