BOSWELL AVENUE BOY
SHOCKED BY ELECTRICITY.
Richard Moran Stood on Iron Fence
and Caught Winder on Pole and Was
Unable to Let Go-had to Be Taken
Home.

On Tuesday evening, while playing
with several other boys on Centennial
square, Richard Moran, aged H. son Of
Mr.. and Mrs. John A. Moran. saw an
electric wire burning. Jumping onto
an iron fence near the pole. at the
corner of Boswell avenue and Baltic
street, he leaned over and caught hold
of the winder on the pole, where the
wire rope which holds the lamp is
wound. AS he did this he at once be-
came rigid and was unable to let go.
The other boys saw his predicament
and began hollering.
The BOYS brother. Joseph Moran.
was attracted by the cries and hurried
to the spot and endesvored to pull the
brother away. He found that he was
getting the current also and had trou-
BILE separating himself from Richard.
Joseph then took off his coat and
threw it about his brother. BY pulling
on this he dislodsed Richard from his
state and could not control himself. He
was taken to his home and on We'd
nesday was much better.
4 Superintendent Bogua of the electric
department was notified and he had
men investigating the matter at once.
It is supposed that as it was wet and
the boy stood on an iron fence that he
may have received some static cleo
tricity from the lamp rope. but it WIS:
not a very severe shock. in his opinion,
as had the entire voltage gone through
the boys body he could not have lived.
Superintendent Bogue had his men
give the pole attention but could not
find that there was any danger from
broken wires or short circuits. but it
is probable that no further accidents
of the kind will happen.
