beng called upon to do much work
al the precent time. Many of them

Red CICss WORK. A little help from
miny will make light work. Our
boys, probably your boy, will be in
the trenches this winter. lie will

ELECTROCUTfD

william A. Cunningham, a well
known electrician employed at the
Northend mines, was instantly killed
Monday morning by being electrocuted
at the surface Of the Union shaft. The
circumstances attending his death as
nearly as can be ascertained are that
he started work changing the switch
at the rock breaker heGr the collar
of the shaft. He had made several
disconnections, but apparently over
looked the fact that the line was still
alive, and placed his hands on two
poles to remove the switch. As a re-
suit 440 volts passed through his
body. and he was instantly killed.
