STRAY CURRENT KILLS
TWO AND BURNS THIRD
Woman and WOuId-Be ReSCuerS
Touch Deadly Wire

Allentown, April 25.-Two persons
are dead and third is dying from the
most extraordinary electric accident
in the annals of this region.
Somewhere in the coal regions there
is a plant developing 44.00O electric
horsepower, which comes through here
over high tension tranmiSSiOn lines.
an offshoot goes into SlatlngtOn,
which gets 4000-hOrSepOWer. In some
manner u guy wire became charged
from this wire and the guy wire hit
a wire wash line in the yard of Miss
Clara Paules, aged 81, caretaker of
the S%Iatington Reformed church.
The wash line was embedded be
meath some wire screening that inclos-
ed the chicken coop in the yard of
Miss Paules. When she rel to feed
that was fatal. A piercing shrek
as she died attracted the atten-
ton of Milton A. Neff, aged 60, Il
neighbor, superintendent of the Stat
ington Slate company. She was dead
when he tried to tear her away from
the ~surcharged hen coop and the shock
killed him, too.
He also uttered a death shrek that
drew George Meyer, another neighbor,
n barber. His clothing burst into
flames when ne tried to eXtricate the
e~lectrocuted corpses md his condition
is critical. Among the crowd that
gathered was George Dorward, a troll
ley dispatcher, who knows electricity.
He made man lend his Il pair of
rubber boots and another a rubber
coat. Thus fortified, Dorward rescu-
ed Meyer and released the bodies of
his dead n%eighbors. Coroner Bausch
was notified and will hold an inquest
to fix responsibility.
