The wire strike has spread to all
parts of the county and Tuesday the
operators at Spars and Reno walked
out. and as a result 5000 telephones
are useless.

questoned regarding the strike and
he is certain that the local exchange
will not be affected, as the company
is already paying better that union
wages. The operators, however
told Mr.. Phillips that they intended to
walk out at nine O'Clock yestrday and
when that hour arrived, announced
that they were too busy, meaning CT

c. +. RICKEY MEETS INSTANT
DEATH AT POWER DAM
Steel Fishing Rod Comes in Contact With
High Voltage Transmission Line and
$500 Volts Enters Body.

Charles F. Hickey, who conducted a
confectionery and notion store at
Minden for the past year. was in
stantly killed Sunday afternoon at
the power house of the Douglas Mill
ing and Power company on the Car
son river six miles south of Gardner
vile when steel fishing rod he was
carrying came In contact with the
transmission wire carrying 5000 volts.
With his daughter. Miss Lena. Mr..
Hickey left Minden to enjoy a few
hours of recreation and bent upon
that mission, he met an unexpected
death which has cast gloom of sad
ness over this community.
Just how he met his death is not
definitely known. A few moments be-
fore his death. Mr.. Hickey and
daughter stepped into the power
and looked at the machinery, accord
ing to the testimony of Henry Frev-
ert. the watchman. They walked out
his daughter taking the trail up to
the top of the dam. Mr.. Hickey did
not go up the tran but after his
daughter had reached the dam, start
ed up over the bluff between the
power house and the wooded spill
way. The power house sets in the
side of the hill. The apex of the
roof Is about nine feet above the
ground. The power wires lead from
the building and are strung to the
top OF the pole some distance away.
1t seems evident that Mr.. Hickey was
carrying the pole over his shoulder
and crossing under the wires where
they were about nine feet from the
ground. In doing so his steel fishing
rod come In contact with one of the
wires and transmitted the high voltage
electric current to his body. The
ground at this point was wet and
muddy from seepage from the dam
making dead ground for the electric
current. - -
His daughter saw a flash when the
pole touched the wire and when her
father fell. ran to his aid and called
Mr. Frevert from the power house

that the High School will become a
member of the Association of South
ern Schools and Colleges next year.
This standing enables all future
graduates to enter college or univer-
sity without examination. Superin-
tendent Ranck is busily engaged in
working out the details for whole
some and democratic program that
will appeal to all interested in cdu-
cational and civic matters. Other
