Cecil Mitchell Is Shocked
by a Live Wire,
Peter COWeii's Home Burned,

Death-.Grange Notes..Aotes.

Cecil Mitchell is in a serious condi
ton at Somerset hospital as a result
of an electric shock received Sunday
afternoon. from a high voltage wire
on the Norridgewock road. He will
have to undergo an operation for the
amputation of part of his right hand
as soon as his heart becomes stronger.
Mitchell, who is Is years old, Sunday
afternoon was with Alton Horne's
child near the latter's home. They
saw one of the wires of the Cen
trail Maine Power Co. lying on the
ground, it having been blown down
in the gale The Horne boy told
Mitchell not to touch it, but he i'm
mediately picked it up, 1t was one
of the high tension feed wires that
supplies Norridgewock with lights
frcm the Skowhegan station and was
supposed 10 carry $500 volts. The boy
grabbed it with his fingers and was
severely burned. Why it did not cause
instant death is only reasoned out by
the fact that the boy did not get the
end of the wire from the ground and
therefore the entire current did not
pass into his body and into the
ground, but passed into the ground
through the end of the wire.
The boy became unconscious. Ros
coe Abbey, d lineman of the Central
Maine Power Co, was coming along
the read. He saw the accident and
as quickly as possible grabbed the
boy and began the work of artificial
respiration. This is thought to have
saved his life. He was quickly taken
TO Somerset hospital, distance of
about three miles, and is now in a
weak condition.
