.COV|NGTON WAS
BURNED by LIVE
WIRE ON MONDAY

Harvey Covington, lineman in the
employ of the Americus Public Ser
vice Co., was seriously burned Monday
morning near the Schneider Marble
Work, on East Furlow street.
Covington, it appears, was working
O. the wires in that section of the
city, when he slipped and plunged
backward onto live wire directly un-
derneath him. The wire caught him
under the armpits, and a cloud of
smoke arose when his clothes came in
to contact with the charged wire.
Everett Schneider, of the marble
works, was a by-stander and FASTENED
20 telephone and had the current cut
off. Before this could be done, how
ever, a Mr.. Nicholson, fellow en-
ploye of the Public Service Co., went
up the pole and cut the wire This was
the act that probably saved Coving-
tons life.
After MIR. CJyington had been re-
moved from the wires he was taken to
TIE city hospital and his injuries
dressed there. His condition is pro-
ncunced as serious, but not necessa-
rily fatal.

Messenger COnfers With ArredOndO.


WASHINGTON, D. c., May 20
Manuel Mendez, an attache of Car
ranzas foreign office, arrived here to-
day and held a conference with Mexi-
can Ambassador designate Arredondo.
Following the conference Mendez de-
MED he brought note to be presented
to President Wilson, or that any new
Instructions from Carranza had been
conveyed by him to the de facto gov
ernment representative here. He stat
ed before noon that he is in Washing
ton merely on a vacation.
MISUNDERSTANDING Arredondo
and other Mexican officials here ap-
pear puzzled, as it had been reported
from Mexico City and the border also
that a special messenger bearing a
new note was en- route to Washington.
No intimation concerning the contents
Of the note was thrown out, but it was
believed the note would probably pre-
sent renewed demand for the with
drawal of American forces or protest
against the second punitive expedition,
led by Majors Sibley and Langshorne,
and which has already returned to the
United States.
At the Mexican embassy here this
afternoon it was said that if any note
is coming, it probably will be brought
by another messenger.
