FRANK WHITE ELECTRoCUTED
Touched Live Wire and Was Instant
lY Killed On DanYille Road.

About four O'Clock Thursday after
noon Frank White, a workman 50
years old, was instantly killed by a
shock of electricity received from a
broken power feed wire. Mr.. White
was emplowey by the town working
on the road between here and the
Danville line. He was digging in
the ditch beside the roadway near
the Clay Hill school house and step
ped out from the ditch while other
workmen touched off a blast. The
flying stones broke the power wire
which was carrying 5000 volts and it
fell into the ditch. When Mr.. White
stepped into the ditch he attempted.
to throw the wire out of his way, not
knowing it was a live wire. The
current passed through his body
throwing him out of the ditch. He
had rubbers on and a fellow work
man grabbed hold of foot and pull
ed the body away from the wire.
A. L. Douglass, road commission
er, seized an axe and severed the
wire so the body was free from con-
tact with the electricity. Dr. Fitch
was called but was unable to resus-
citate him. The body was removed
to his home and the funeral held
from Notre Dame church Monday
morning and the interment was at
Mount Calvary cemetery

MANY ACCIDENTS
Four Fatalities In Town Last
Thursday Man Burned and
Auto Went Over Bank

Thursday was one of the most IA
tai days for St. Johnsbury this village
has experienced in a long time. In
the early morning the death of John
Robinson occurred, George Bradlee,
Jr., died from infantile paralysis and
was Immediately buried, later in the
forenoon the suicide of John Bender
was discovered and in the afternoon
Frank White was instantly electro
cuted when he took hold of a live
wire on the road to Danville. Will
lie Greenwood also lost the thumb
on his left hand cutting it off with
an axe while splitting kindling wood.
The handle of the axe caught under
his arm and the blade struck with
full force on his thumb.
Automobile Went Down Bank.
The chapter of accidents was con-
tinued Monday when the automobile
of George Narcotic went over the
bank on lower South Main street and
crashed down the steep bank to with
in 80 feet of Pearl street. Three
men were in the machine but none
were seriously injured.
Mr.. Narcotic was to take two men
to Montpelier. He picked up one
and started down Main street to get
the other. He met him below Prin-
cipal Benedict's house and the man
got in when Narcotic started to turn
around. BY mistake he threw his
machine into high gear and it. shot
down over a five foot stone wall and
plunged down the steep bank in the
pasture. The front wheels finally
caught in the ruts where the old road
used to be and stopped without turn
ing over.
One axle and several cross bars
were broken and help was secured to
pull the machine back up the bank
when it was taken to the garage for
repairs.

County Agent Stimson spent last
week as follows: Monday, Tuesday and
Wednesday at Sheffield organizing q
COW test association. He already has
Is herds pledged. A most com
mendable spirit is shown by one oi
that towns public spirited men, not
a farmer, yet he is giving $50 toward
making this test association sue
cess.
In several counties of the central
west the farmers associations are
planning to employ women who will
bear the same relation to the domes-
tic science work of the county that
the county advisor bears to the crops
and live stock. She will perhaps be
called the county advisor for women.
In the last few years when so much
has been done for livestock and to
tighten farm work some have declar-
ed that the household part has been
neglected. The county adviser for
women will help to correct some OF
these conditions it is believed.
Those who exhibited fruit sprayed
by the association last spring and
corn raised on chemicals, at the st.
Johnsbury fair, have given their pre-
miums to the association. This
amounted to $14.60.
Additional receipts last week were
$500, four new members and one
for $500.

Guy f. Meader Had Clothing Ignited
BY Explosion of Oil.
Guy F. MeadeT, the roofer and
steeple jack, was terribly burned
last Friday when his clothing was
ignited by an explosion of oil and
but for the fierce struggle of his
father he would have been burned to
death. The two men were laying a
roof at the residence of G. H. Tap
lin and on their return to work about

the pitch used on the joints. Guy
E. .Meader took a can of oil in which
there was a little gasoline and pour
ed it on the wood and Goals. 1t ig-
nited and the fame ran up the
stream into the oil can. This was
followed by an explosion which
threw the can with great force
against Mr.. Meader's chest and COW
cred him with burning oil.
His clothing took fire and burned
with great intensity. Mr.. Meader's s
father who was with him grabbed a
pair of overalls and smothered the
flame as soon as possible but not un-
til the young man was so badly burn
ed that the flesh came off his hands
and lower arms and the lower half
of his legs. He was carried to
Brightlook Hospital where the
wounds were dressed and then he
was taken to his home on Pearl
street. He is apparently recovering
but it will be long time before he
can use his hands.

Death Of George Bradley.

At two o'clock last Thursday
morning there passed away young
life, full of promise, at his home near
Goss\ Hollow, George Pearl Bradley,
next to the youngest of the family of
Mr. and Mrs. George w. Bradley,
age 16 years, months, 9 days. An
illness of four days duration of in
fantile paralysis was the cause of his
death. George was a boy who un-
like most boys preferred his home
to that of outside work. His great
ambition laid in the raising of poul-
try. Though discouraged at times he
still had faith that he could some day
command a large poultry farm and
make it his mainstay in life. Be-
sides his many friends he leaves to
mourn his death, his parents, three
sisters, four brothers and aged grand
parents.

The War Today
Cpy the Associated Pre.s.l

The hour for the battle which will
determine whether the Russians are
TO make their proposed invasion of
Germany with Berlin as the objective
appears to be drawing near. Official
and unofficial advices indicate the
struggle in Russian Poland is rivaling
in desperation and possibly in num-
bers engaged the battles of the
Marine and Aisne. The main body of
Russians is moving toward the Posen
frontier. On its right another army is
supposed to be attempting to protect
the larger body by stemming a rush
southwark of the German force that
drove the Russian invaders from East
Prussia and now seeks to halt the
westward movement.
At the same time the Russian army
in Galicia is pushing its successes
against the Austrians and moving
westward with the expectation of
meeting the combined Austrian-Ger-
man forces concentrating at Cracow
on the Galician frontier in a battle
that, if successful, will complete their
campaign in Galicia- The Germans
are reported to have a strong force on
the line from Kalicz to Cracow. where
they are said to be well entrenched.
There is every reason to believe the
real test of the Russian aggressive
strength will not long be delayed.
Germany is prepared to finance a
long war. according TO a dispatch
from Berlin, via London. The war is
costing Germany S5.OOO,OOO a day. The
war loan has proved a success and it
is said Germany can continue the
struggle for year with money now in
sight.
There has been a distinct falling OF
of war news emanating from the cap

London has been made much more Sc
