An accident which terminated In
fatal result occurred at the corner OF Bea
and Cottage streets, Norway, Saturday
afternoon, when Fred Locke of that vii
lape met death while engaged as a line
man for the Norway & Paris Street Rail
way. Just what happened, and II death
was caused by electrocution, how he
came in contact with the high voltage
wires, is not known and probably never
will be.
The new pole on which he was work.
ing carried three wires with voltage OF
500, while those over his head, of the
house and street circuit, carried only ITO.
1t would seem as If the only way In
which he could have received q shock
sufficient to cause death was to come In
contact with two of the runners hanging
from the high voltage wires at the same
time. This he knew better than to do
but it is possible that he may have acct
den,ally done it.
Harry Spiller, who was working with
Locke, and was at the foot OF the pole
preparing the torch for soldering, heard
Locke's cries and looked up to see him
dangling, held by safety belt. Mr.
Spiller and Walter Cullinan went up the
pole and with the aid of others got him
down as quickly as possible. He was
taken on Forrest McDaniels' team, bul
died before reaching physicians office
Coroner William j. Wheeler OF South
Paris was summoned, but considered az
inquest unnecessary. There were nc
! marks on the body, except two slight
bruises On the face, doubtless from COM
ing iu contact with the pole.
Fred Locke was the son OF Mr.. and
Mrs. George Locke of Norway, and wat
SO years of age. Besides his parents hs
leaves a wife and two small children
Allie, aged 5, and Lena, 8. There is also
one sister, Mrs. Mabel Labossiere.
The funeral Monday afternoon at bill
late home on Deerng Street was attend

Hyomei this wonderful method OF
treatment,
Hyomei has performed almost
miraculous results in treating catarrh
and is today. recognized by thousands
Of people as the only advertised rem
edy for catarrh that can Re relied
upon to do Just what 1t claim> The
complete outfit Of Hyomei is inexpen
sive and consists Of an inhaler, g
medicine dropper and a bottle Of Hyo-
mel.
Breathe the air of Hyomei through
the little inhaler druggists furnish
with 1t for a few minutes four times
a day and it will help the worst case
Of catarrh. II soothes and heals the
mucous membrane of the afr pass
ages. prevents irritation, and effects
complete and lasting relief.
In Keokuk there are scores Of vel,
known people who have been relieved
of catarrh by Hyomei. If 1t does not
help you Wilkinson & Co. will return
the money you paid for Hyomei. This
