The flashing seems to have been due
TO the pulling loose of an electric feed
wire from the socket, where the iced
wires of the street car system connect
over the stopping place of the hill car
at Main and Front The wires had been
stretched, and II seems that this wire
was loosened at the time. II fell to the
street. What other wires II may have
crossed, and how the current came TO
reach the big sign, which Is sup

from the building, Is uncertain, but It

were directly connected. as both hap
