Kenneth Gullick, the young son Of
Chief of Police Gullick, had a narrow
escape from death by el%ectrocution
Tuesday afternoon. He was watching
the Uncle Toms Cabin parade at the
corner of the Pleasant Hour and boy
like he threw himself over the guy
wire of an electric light pole. The
insulation had worn off of one of the
overhead wires and it was rubbing
against the guy wire. sending through
it a current of 1,400 volts. The boy
screamed for help and several men
tried to pull him away from the wire,
but he was not released until Paul
Davis of the power plant, who happen
ed to be near, had climbed the pole
and cut the wire. 1t is extremely for
tunate that he happened close at hand,
as another half minute and the boy
would have been dead. Kenneth was
pretty limp for some time, but is now
none the worse for his adventure. He
seems to be having more than his
share Of trouble, as he but recently
recovered from an attack of scarlet
fever.
