Thomas \ Sell Instantly
Killed s Websterville
'ys Morning
HAD : led TO SAVE
BUILDING FROM FIRE
Wire Carried 10000 Volts
and Victim Was Thrown
Many Feet

! To prevent the store building of Henry
| Giguere in Websterville from catching
fire from electric wires which snapped
during the high wind this morning,
Thomas Newell, aged 40, grasped sput-
tering high-tension wire of the Montpel-
Ter & Barre Light & Power company and
was instantly killed, being hurled dozen
feet and receiving severe cut on the
head in his fall. Newell was newcomer
in Websterville, having arrived there only
last Monday from New York state and
having just begun employment at the
quarry of the Wetmore & Morse Granite
company.
Newell had secured lodging at the
Giguere residence, only a short distance
from the place where he was killed At
about 4 o'clock this morning he was
awakened by a sharp cracking, as an
electric wire broke under the strain OF
some limbs of tree that were lashed by
the strong wind. A second cracking
caused Newell to investigate, and he saw
the dangling wires flashing perilously
near the Giguere store. He decided 20
save the building from destruction by
fire, and he went out alone. He found the
wires swinging so near the building as
to threaten to set it afire.
Apparently not realizing the danger
and disregarding the warning of Mrs.
Coxon, who was watching, Newell
grasped the end of wire and was hurled
into the road, landing on his back, his
head striking with great force. Mrs.
Coxon's words, Don't touch it," were ut
tered second before the man did the
fatal act. AT just about the same time
someone had telephoned Joe Pierce, who
las charge of the substation, to shut of
he current. That death must have been
is certain, because the wire
,arried 10000 volts.
Curiously enough, however, there were
10 marks dscernible on the body except
he cut on the back of the head, which
vas received when he landed in the road.
Dr. f. Fl. Bailey, the town health officer,
Who was called, could find no burns
whatever. The man was almost wholly
lothed except that he wore no shoes.
The health officer ordered the removal of
he body, and it was taken to the Whit
omb undertaking rooms in East Barre.
The mans brother, James Newell, has
een located in West Quincy, Mass, and
t is expected that he viii come to care
or the remains.

their pressure and realized new prog

''The French have carried their
lines as far as the western outskirts
of Dammard and east of Chevy and
more than a kilometre north of
Veuilly-la Poterie. They have taken
about so prisoners.

LONDON, Monday, September 80
with Bulgaria out Of the war through
the armistice convention signed Sun
day, involving her complete military
surrender, interest in the near eastern
situation is being focused on Turkey.
1t is noted that Andrew Bonar Law,
the chancellor of the exchequer. in
his Guildhall speech today made re-
mark referring to the dafest OF the
Turkish Palestine army at Gen. Allen
by's hands, adding land something
more is going to follow"
Later in his speech he. said, also
graphically, touching on the control
of Bulgaria, which the control OF her
railways will give: 'In that there was
something in connection with Turkey
which I cannot say, but which we can
all think
Mr.. Bonar Laws words were almost
drowned by cheering, but the impress
sion created was that Turkey would
follow Bulgaria's lead.
London Papers Sound Warning.
There was deep satisfaction in Lon
don over the days developments, but
no excitement and no demonstration.
The keynote Of the newspaper. COM
ment is a warning to the people not
to think that the war is ended. The
German army, st is pointed out, is yet
a great army and as yet undefeated
There is stern work ahead, the COM
mentators generally agree, and any
relaxation of effort should not take
place.
According to Vienna messages En-
peror Charles is to issue a manifesto
to the people tomorrow, and it is felt
that this must be an utterance of his
toric Importance.
