Joe Blanc is rapidly recovering
from the injuries he received Tues
day evening of last week. He had a
narrow escape from electrocution
while working on the big electric
dredge north of Nampa.
In the course OF his duties Blanc
picked up the insulated bunch OF
wires leading from the power line to
the dredge. In some way a short cir
cult occurred, the insulations was de-
stroyed and Blanc was thrown to the
ground by the shock. The power
lines, now uninsulated and carrying
four thousand volts, fell across his
abdomen, resulting in terrible cleo
trical burns.
The electricity apparently entered
Blanc's body at the contact of the
wires with his abdomen, and

He suffered severe burns on the flesh
on his abdomen and on his head and
shoulder, and it was at first consid
