Almost EIectrocuted.

One of the most remarkable acci- dents in the annals of electrical freaks occurred at the big power house In
 Kingman last Wednesday morning, in
 which E. P. Christopher almost lost
 his life. Christopher is supposed to have been preparing to go upon one of the idle boilers with hose and long gas pipe to blow the soot from the
 hues of the experimenting boilers, and as he turned around with the pipe it struck against one of the high poten- tial wires, just above the spool on the transformer, and great arc of light flashed out and Christopher fell to the ground terribly shocked and burned by the great voltage that passed through his body from the contact, the
 fluid having run down the pipe, through his body and into the ground through the concrete floor. One of the engineers saw the flash of the arc and saw Christopher apparently pull away from the wire, while the fireman saw him fall. The men rushed to the stricken man and used every effort to bring about respiration and after a time were successful in restoring him partly to consciousness. Physicians were called in and did all they could for the injured man and it is now pos sible that he may survive, although some days will have to pass before the full extent of his injuries are known.
 The wires at the time of the acci- dent were charged with about 43,O0O volts, and the wire that Christopher encountered had potential of 25,O00 volts between it and the earth, and it was this great voltage that passed through his body. At every place on his body, where his clothes were moist or where there was moisture on hls skin, there the electricity burned deep into his flesh, causing some terribly painful burns. His hands are drawn and burned as are the bottoms of hls feet, where the fluid passed out into the concrete floor. Small holes are visible through the concrete, where he stood when the great charge pas sed into the earth.
 Had the floor been wet it is probable that Christopher would have been h. stantly killed, but these floors are thoroughly drained and are perfectly dry throughout the great plant, and It is to this fact that the man owes his life.
 Christopher has been working in the plant the last few years and was con- sidered one of the most careful and painstaking workmen in the place and how he happened to come in contact with the wire with his fue cleaner may never be known. The manage ment is doing everything in it's power to make the inj jured man comfortable and bring him back to health. Dr.. Butcher has charge of the case and is sangulne of the recovery of the injur- ed man, and if he lives it is probable that this will be the first case on rec ord of man standing an electrical strain of 5000 volts.
