ELECTR0CUTED
AT HIS WORK
August Solberg, Cement
Worker, Victim in New
Mandan High School

Believed to Have Been Fa-
tally Shocked About 10
o'clock Saturday Night

August Solberg, about 38 years old,
cement worker of Bismarck, was
electrocuted late Saturday night
while working in the new Mandan
High School building. The electro
cution came through his grasping an
electric wire on which the insulation
was worn off.
The body of the victim was found
shortly before noon Sunday by a WIS.,
itor at the high school building. How
long he had been dead is a matter
of conjecture. Contractors estimat-
ed from the amount Of work he had
done that the electrocution occurred

place at the residence of Mrs. Ben

afternoon, Rev. Strutz will have
charge Of the services. Burial will
take place in Fairview cemetery.
Mr.. Solberg, who had been employ
ed by the Bismarck Construction
Company for 10 years as an expert
cement worker, was employed at the
time by Redlinger and Hanson, con-
tractors for the new high school
building in Mandan. He was engaged
in finishing off cement work. On
such a task, it was explained by N. A.
Frecburg, Bismarck contractor, it Is
necessary that certain portion OF
the work be completed when the ce-
| ment is at certain stage of setting
| regardless of the time. Solberg is
| believed to have gone to the build
ling> late Saturday to do this work.
! Used Extension
In doing the work he used an cleo
trio light extension. The insulation
was worn at places. While working
it is believed that he grasped the
bare wire with either one or both
hands. His feet were on wet cement
and his hands probably were wet

cular work he was engaged on. Thl:

Gus or not, it is not known. Where
he had fallen to the floor it was evi'
dent that he had struggled some, in
an effort to release himself. The

Considerable deter ioration in

has also seriously affected and de-

WELL OUT AT SEA

Washington Oct. 13.-The Zep-
pelin ZR-3 was floating today over
the broad expanse of the Atlantic
and the Navy, on the alert, was
standing by to render any help
that might be needed by the great
airship in its epoch making flight,
Germany from Frederlchshafen 20
Lakehurst, N. j.
No direct word from the IRIS
had come to the Navy Bureau OF
Aeronautics because her radio ap-
paratus had not reached point
where navy apparatus could make
contact, but through ships at sea
and other sources of information
efforts were made to keep in
touch.
Capt. George Steele, American
naval officer abroad the ship, who
will take command of her on her
arrival at Lakehurst, told the
Navy department in a delayed
radiogram today of her departure
from, Germany where she was built
for the American government in
conformity with the terms Of the
armistice, adding that she sailed
smoothly from the start and pass
ed over the Bay of Biscay.
Use Long Route
The southern route is being fol-
lowed, putting the big craft in the
steamship route across the At
lantic which goes by way of the
Azores to Bermuda. Weather con-
ditions when the Zeppelin reaches
Bermuda will doubtless influence
the German officer in the route
she will take northward. If the
ship is headed on the regular
steamship course she would reach
the Atlantic shore of the United
States either at Charlestown, S. c..
or at the mouth Of the Chesapeake
Bay. As the southern route is the
long way round from Germany,
however, it was assumed at the
Navy Department that the Zepp-
elm commander would follow the
shortest course he could lay from
Bermuda to Lakehurst in order to
save fuel.
Makes Good Speed
The first stage of the journey
was across land, and Capt. Steele
reported an average speed OF
more than 60 miles an hour with
/ all engines running. Only four
engines were in operation when
the ship pushed off for the Azores,
however, as it was desired to con-
serve the fuel supply.

United States under an agreement
which makes her available for
military purposes. She is equip.
