So successful was the last automobile

decided to make another one next Sun

this time and the same number of cars
are expected to make the trip if the
weather is suitable. The start will be

The trip to Mile Lacs is an ideal
one. Those who have made the drive
along the lake shore from Vineland to

the west shore, north of Vineland, say
that the trip affords great pleasure.
AS yet it is not known what provi-

HURT BY electric Wire
Earl, VENNERS HAS NARROW ES-
CAPE FROM ELECTROCUTION
w., WEDNESDAY

Earl Vv.ncrs, l4-year-old son Of II.
w. Venners, narrowly escaped being
electrocuted Wednesday morning, when
he came in contact with some live elec
tric wires.
Earl together with George and Louis
Fortier, were playing in the street near
l.. W. Nasalv's residence on First street
northeast Without thought the Ven
ners boy grasped an electric wire
which had been broken during the
storm of the previous night and both
ends of which were lying on the
ground As he picked up the wire, it
hurled him to the ground and his body
came in contact with another broken
wire. causing circuit.
The force Of the current passing
through his body kept jerking him up
and down and George Fortier, thinking
he was just playing, told him to get up.
He failed to TO SO, however, and
George noticed that smoke was coming
from the boys hand and Immediately
realized the situation. Placing his COW
cred arm against the wire, he drew it
away from the hand of the victim.
In so doing he received severe shock.
The Fortier boys called the neigh
bors and the boy was removed to his
homo. His hand was badly burned by
the wire and he was rendered semi-un-
conscious, in which state he remained
for more than an hour. The voltage in
these wires is strong enough to cause
death and his escape is considered
miraculous. He is still in weakened
condition as result of the experience.
