A point to be remembered when charg-

A naked flame should never be taken

should be taken to see that all connec-

out Of his distance. From three-quar-

the fastest man in the country. although

Boy Killed by Electric Wire.

A fifteen year old boy named Charles
ramlich, living midway between Wau-
kon and Lansing, met instant death,
Friday, at las p. M, by coming into
contact with the service line Of the
Upper Iowa Power Co. which supplies
current to Lansing. The line which
|kollows the main highway passes
Through tree near the Gramlich home
which is just east of the old Fritz
lblacksmith shop. The boy had shot 4
Dirrel in the tree and it had lodged
the branches. He climbed the tree
recover it and in doing SO touched
wire with his instep and the heavy
tage killed him instantly.
~ He was alone at the time and the
current held his body fast. The contact
caused sizzling noise which was heard
by bis folks and also attracted the
attention of neighboring residents. It
was then his lifeless body was observed
in the tree. The wire holding him soon
parted and destroyed the current where.
upon the body was taken down.

Physicians were summoned but they
were Of no avail. Coroner J. c. Lewis
was also called from here but upon
enquiring into the facts of the tragedy
hs deemed no Inquest necessary. The
contact had destroyed oil service of
the company here in Waukon and en-
ployes were in IN auto ready to 60 in
search of the trouble when apprised Of
the accident.
From all that sknown the Power Co.
is believed to be biameless. They have
endeavored to acquaint everybody
Of the great danger that lies in the
wires which traverse the country and
that they must not be touched under
any circumstances. The boys sad
death should prove an everlasting
warning to all to avoid any and all
wires in the vicinity of the power lines.

trip to Charles City several months ago
to investigate proposed extension Of
the Charles City Western, but at that

Charles City in insuring the perma-
nency of their interurban which at
present taps the rich territory between
Charles City and Marble Rock and is
operated by gas power with steam

A big mass meeting Of citizens has
been held here and the Commercial
Club has appointed strong committees
and framed petitions to circulate
among the farmers for the purpose Of
gaining from them promises of reason.
able treatment in going through their
properties.
The road will, if the plans material
ize, take power from the three great
modern sources, electricity, gas,
steam. The electri6cation Of the road
is the present plan. The gas inter-
urbans will be maintained for short
trips, package and parcel freight
duties, and for emergencies and big
occasions. The road will be able to
run whatever happens If electricity
goes bump, gas power can be switched
on and steam will be continued for
longest hauls Of freight.
Csesco is thought to be the objective
point. Some time ago this city offered
liberal support FROM their end of the
