HAD NARROW ESCAPE
o. H.. WELLS; TELEPHONE LINE.
MAN, NEARLY ELECTROCU~ED
HANDS BADLY BURNED

Presence Of mind saved the life OF
o. II. Wills, local telephone lineman
when a telephone line which he was re-
pairing came into contact with a high
tension electric line, sending the full
charge from the high tension line
through his body. He was at tho top
of the telephone pole at the time and
the only thing that saved his life was
that he got his calks out of the tele-
phone pole. Both of his hands were
badly burned.
The accident occurred Thursday after
noon of last week, east Of Little Falls,
on the Pierz road, at point where the
high tension line and the. telephone
line are but very short distance apart.
Wills had cut telephone wire and was
holding one end of it. The slack in the
wire caused it to come into contact with
the hi gh line and a circuit was estab-
lished, the full charge passing through
the body of the lineman. He realized
that his only chance was to release his
calks, which were imbedded in the pole.
How he succeeded in doing this, he does
not know as he soon lapsed into uncon-
sciousness and when he regained con-
sciousness his feet were free and he was
held up by the strap which circled his
body and the pole. He managed to get
down from the pole and he was picked
up and brought to this city, by Leo
Blake, who happened along soon after:
Both of Mr.. Wills hands were badly
burned. Two fingers on the left hand
with which he held the wire, were
burned to the bone, and two fingers on
the right hand, in which he held pair
of pliers, were similarly burned.
