Frank Fugste, q ineman for the
Western Union Telegraph Company.
who for many years lived in Gunnison.
where he followed his work as lineman,
was killed at Attica. Indiana, last We'd
nesday when his body came in contact
with light wire carrying a high volt
age. Mr.. Fueste has many friends in
Gunnison. Shortly after leaving Gun
nison his wife died and now comes the
sad news of his own death by electrocu-
ton.
The Attica Daily Tribune gives the
following account of his death:
. Prank Fugate, liBemsa of the Wes-
tern Union Telegraph Company. was
instantly killed q little before eleven
o'clock this, Wednesday, morning, June
II, on coming in contact with light
wire carrying high voltage.
81 f. Holtz, foreman, went to the
resecue of his man, and risking his own
life to save that of the stricken lineman,
bravely cut the service wire and was
himself nearly electrocuted He all but
fell from the pole to the ground. Help
was summoned Immediately, and the
unconscious man taken from his posi-
tion, but he was dead when examined
by physicians and had probably died
when the current shot through his body.
''The accident occurred at the south
end of the Okaloosa Saddlery company
factory building, in the alley between
First and Second avenues and near the
west side of c. street. Fugate was
working on a swing seat supended from
loose cable and in some way came in
contact with the electric power or light
wire, which was probably grounded
through his body and he received the
full voltage carried on the service.
Although dead, the man did not fall
from the swing seat, twenty-five feet
or more above the ground, but his body
remained in the position until removed
and conveyed in the city ambulance tc
the Cheesman undertaking rooms.

was in the course OF a conversation

You mean, then, that the Judges
have asked you 10 take the posi-.
tion?' he was asked
Il can't say anything about that.
said Mr.. Frazer, on his guard imme
diately.
is there any legal way in which
the salary of the Office can be raised
TO cover the rest of the term?p
No, absolutely none,' Mr.. Frazer
replied.
However, there is nothing to pre-
vent the board OF supervisors from
liking the salary Of the Office at s7y
800 or $4,000, beginning Jan. 1915.
and IL Mr.. Frazer should ACCEPT ths
office now, he could undoubtedly be
reelected In November, and thus gel
the benefit OF the increase after
Jan. l.
Judge Mandell said, Saturday morn
ing. that the circuit judges had Sc
much work on hand that II was very
improbable that they would meet dur
ing the day 10 discuss the choice OF
a new prosecutor.
Mr.. Frazer was in conference with
Mayor Marx behind locked doors. Sal
