SEES HUSBAND "KILLED."
Woman Watches Apparent Electro
cutiOn Then Dies.

Montour, Ia, April 10. p.
Willard, manager of the local tele-
phone company and of the Montour
plant of the Iowa Railway and Light
company, was up on an electric ligh:
pole today repairing transformer.
His wife stood nearby, watching him
at his work. Suddenly he screamed,
his body stiffened and dropped from
the pole to the ground, fourteen feet
below. A current of electricity, 49,
900 volts strong, had passed through
him.
Mrs. Willard started toward the
body of her husband, then tottered
and fell almost beside him. The
shock of witnessing the apparent
electrocution of her husband had
broken her heart, doctors said.
Mr.. Willard was believed dead. To
all appearances life had fed from
his body, for the current was far
more than strong enough to bring
death.
But an hour later he recovered
consciousness. Physicians say he will
live.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Willard are pi-
oneer residents of Tama county ami
the family is well to do.

BURNED ALIVE IN
ELEVATOR BLAZE
Men Meet Horrible Death, When
Fire Sweeps Pier.
PROPERTY LOSS TWO MILLION
Combustion Probable Cause, But Hints
At lncendiary Bombs Are
Heard-Many Jump
For Lives.

Baltimore Fire at the Northern
Central Railroad grain elevator, No. 3,
at Canton, resulted in one of the great
est catastrophes Baltimore has suffer-
ed for several years.
A number Of men met horrible
deaths in the flames. The exact num-
Der may never he told, but the lowest
estimates place the list of dead at 10.
Three bodies have been found, nine
men are known to be missing and one
man is expected to die in the Mercy
Hospital as the result Of his burns.
Fully half a hundred more OF the
workmen were severely injured, and
the majority of these were carried to
Baltimore hospitals in police ambu-
lances, on railroad trains and on street
cars. Some are seriously burned and
may roll up the list of fatalities.
The elevator was destroyed with all
the grain in it.
Two ships lying off the elevator were
heavily damaged by the flames, many
men being injured on one of them. A
third ship. lying off the ore pier adj
joining the elevator, suffered slight
loss.
The grain pier is a total loss and
the ore pier is heavily damaged
A Mysterious Explosion.
No official of the railroad nor any
employe of the elevator can tell
definitely the cause of the fire. Just
before the flames broke out on the sec
ond floor-or second tier OF bins--of
the elevator, there was heard an ex-
plosion, followed by the blowing out
of the tiled side of the elevator at that
point. The theory that bomb caused
this has been advanced and will be in
vestigated
Another theory is that of spontane-
GUS combustion,
Many incidents of heroism ennobled
the tragedy of the fire. Tugboat cap
tains steamed hurriedly to the pier
and made heroic efforts to pull the
steamers away, and also, with the aid
of other craft, saved the lives of many
men who jumped from the elevator
into the water.
Several women, the majority Of them
unable to speak English. crowded
about the pier crying frantically. Their
husbands and fathers were employed
in the elevator. and probably were
among the missing.
