NEAR ELECTROCUTION
Workers on Court House Roof Have
Narrow Escape From Death.

What might have proved a most
serious accident occurred this morn
ing on the roof of the county jail
building when two of the men who
are helping to paint the court house
barely escaped being eleCtrocuted:
They We're placing guy wires on the
smoke stack and in throwing one of
them over the support, it came in
contact with the conduct wire, which
carries a charge of twenty-three hun
dred volts. They we're wearing shoes
with rubber soles which is possibly
the reason they escaped being seri-
ously burned or electroculed Twenty
four holes were burned in the roof OF
the building where the uncovered
wire came in contact with it. FRANK
Mathews received most of the shock,
the voltage being heavy enough to
throw him to the floor. Otto Kahn
just bearly escaped being thrown, as
the wire was uncovered in number
of places. w.,
