HEAD
RECKLESS FEAT
Crosses Susquehanna River
on a Transmission Cable
More Than LOO Fl. Long

Halifax, Pa, Oct. 31.--William
Crawshaw, head lineman for the
Millersburg Electric Light Company,
will not stand for dare from his
fellow-workers even though the ac-
complishment of the feat might en-
danger his life. Recently one of his
friends 1okingly remarked that no
living person-not even "Bill''-could
cross the cable. which is LOO feet
long and strung from the river shore
here to Perry county side, by the
use of his hands. "BilP' accepted the
challenge and proceeded to do the
trick. Fastening the snap at each end
of his safety belt to the cable and
using the belt as a swing, he worked
his way by the use of his hands the
entire distance over the wire. The
steel cable is from 80 to 55 feet
above the surface of the water and
is said to be the longest spar of cleo
trio transmission wire in Pennsylva-
MIA. 1t will be used to carry current
from the big plant east of Millers-
burg to the Perry county towns to be
lighted by the company.
