SUPERINTENDENT BADLY BURNED
 BY ELECTRICITY
Charles Preston Receives Shock of 23,000 Volts from High Tension
 Electric Wires.

DOUGLAS, Nov. 29.-While at work near the high tension wires on the inside of the Alaska-Juneau nll yesterday afternoon, Charles Preston superintendent of electrical colstruc- tion for the Treadwell Company. was practically electrOcuted, receiving 23,000 volts through the body for ten seconds, before the current could be shut off.
 Al Bausman, foreman in charge of the power plant, stated this morning that no one actually saw the accident and it is not known how the unfor tunate man came to get caught. He was working on a platform near the high tension wires and had native helper about 20 feet from him with tools ready to hand to the superin tendent. The native helper claims to have been looking the other way for a moment when the accident hap pened but immediately gave the alarm and the current was turned off, after which the electrocuted man was taken down from the platform
  put upon a stretcher and rushed to the Juneau St. Ann's Hospital
 At 10 o'clock this morning MT Preston was still alive although no hope was held for his recovery. He was badly burned from the neck to the foot on one side, the flesh being practically cooked on one leg and nearly dropping from the bones.
 Foreman Bausman stated that Preston hung on the high tension wire for fully ten esconds before the current could be cut off and he with other electrical authorities are mystified as to how man could live with this terrible amount of voltage which burned him, thousands of volts less than he received, usually killing man instantly.
