A NARROW ESCAPE.
The Wilson Brothers Narrowly Escape
an UntimeIy Death from
EIectrocutior.

The high tension wires Of the Great
Shoshone 4 Twin Falls Electric Co. came
near being responsible for another most
narrowing fatality last week. The Will
son Bros, who are among our most
sturdy and progressive farmers, living a
few miles southeast OF town were moving
u hay derrick along the public highway,
along which runs the power line OF the
above company. In crossing bridge a
sudden lurch OF the derrick swung the
arm around to the side, the same coming
in contact with one OF the charged wires
The boys were riding on the derrick, but
fortunately the lurch Of the same threw
them off, which was the means Of saving
the lives OF both OF them.
A team was hitched to the derrick, but
W. W. in some manner got them un-
fastened and removed to a safe distance,
but when he returned chain which was
attached to the derrick was entirely
melted o. J. received some quite severe
burns, but fortunately they are not
thought to be OF serious nature, as he
is up and around but feels keenly the
effects of the shock.
Our readers will remember the chron-
telling OF a fatal accident OF this nature
last summer in which Mr. Callen met
instant death. and the Wilson boys had
this accident wildly in mind when they
sought to move their derrick, and wer,
careful To take no chances, but the lurch
ing OF the same was unavoidable. though
terminating without any fatal results.
Too much care cannot be exercised il
working around these high tension wire
as they carry current OF 1900 volts
and Il contact with them means certain
death. ii il becomes necessary To re-
move structures of any kind under thes
wires, though it takes little more time
il is much safer to take them apart THAI
to risk ones life from a little mishal
that might occur in which they woul'
come in contact with the wires.
The first news of this latter acciden
to reach town was to the effect that on
OF the boys and the team were killed, bu
later when the boys made their appear
ance on the street they were the subject
OF hearty congratulations by their legiO
oi friends.

special session Tuesday evening at which
time the draft OF AN ordinance regulating
the liquor traffic in the town was again
taken mp Tor consideration, and after
some slight changes was finally adopted.
the ordinance Is passed appears in an
other column. The trustees have given
much thought and attention to this i'm
portaut measure, and have endeavore,i
to frame document that would be ac-
ccptable to all parties concerned, and the
TACT that no license will be- granted for a
longer period than three months, puts
the control of the traffic pretty well in
the hands of the officials of the town.
At this meeting special accountant

financial condition OF the town, which

zen interested will find this report AT III,

After having been associated with
one of the largest poultry houses In
the state for more than fourteen years
Mr.. Shelton engaged in business for
himself in November, 1911. His train
ing in the business haa been thor

manager he has succeeded we'll
Mr. Shelton's desire is to emphasize
to the nearby shipper and nearby

pose of. Since going into business
for himself, which was less than
twenty-one months ago, Mr.. Shelton
has shipped out about one hundred
and fifty car loads of live poultry and
one hundred cars of eggs. The mar
ket here is easy of access where
prompt payment and good prices are
assured.
The business of buying live poultry
and eggs as conducted by Mr. Shell.
ton extends throughout southeastern
Iowa, western Illinois, and northern
Missouri. To cary it on successfully
it is essential that he keep in touch
with the producers in these localities
and while it is to his advantage to do
so, common sense points out that it
is equally to their advantage to know
of the ready and staple market that
he affords, and which he urges them
to take advantage of. Those who
deal with Mr. Shelton will find him
an upright and honest business man
in their dealings with him. If You
have live poultry and eggs see him.
