Across Two Wires, But Is

NEW YORK, May 24-By a feat Of
unusual strength and skill. John
Mackie, foreman of a crew of electric
linemen working in Bergenlile avenue,
Union Hill, n. J., was rescued from
death after he had fallen from the top
of telephone pole across two uninsu-
lated electric light wires thirty feet in
the air.
He was shocked into Inconsistencies
by the electric current. His body hurS
across the wires. and John Reynolds. his
assistant, who had seen him fall, knew
that the current was strong enough to
cause death if Mackie were left hanging
until a ladder could be brought.
Reynolds with his climbing spurs ran
up the pole, and found by crawling out
on a crossbar he could just reach
Mackie.
( He avoided shock himself by grasping
the foreman by his leather belt and
swung him out of contact with the
wires. He then carried him down the
pole, clinging with one arm and carry
ing Mackie dangling by the belt His
climbing spurs had to sustain the weight
of both men as he crept down, a few
inches at a time, but he reached the
ground in safety.
! Mackie was revived by physicians. His
arms and legs had received severe
burns.

BASKET BALL
Sank Centre High School Girls
Defeat Long Prairie in
Good Game

The Sank Centre high school bas-
ket ball girls visited Long Prairie last
Friday and secured the first scalp
lock of the season. In a game during
which basket ball was played every
minute, Sank Centre won by score
of 10 too.
Before the first five minutes of the
first half had elapsed Sank Cenrte
scored two baskets, and fondly hoped
to get through their half without
permitting Long Prairie to score.
But in spite of their most strenuous
efforts the Todd county girls scored
five points.
In the first ten minutes of play dur
ing the second half Sank Centre scor-
ed two baskets, making the record s
to in their favor. But owing to
fouls on both sides the score climbed
until it stood 10 to in Sank Centres
favor. One minute and half re-
NAMED for play but during those
minutes no scoring was done, and
Sank Centre won the victory.
The Sank Centre girls gave an exhi-
bition of excellent team work, their
playing showing a great improvement
over the game at the city hall three
weeks ago. The girls greatly appre-
ciated the cordial treatment accorded
them while in Long Prairie. After
the game the Long Prairie team en-
tertained their visitors at an oyster
supper.
