son Today of the Appor-
tiOnment of the Fund.

RISKS OWN LIFE
TO RESCUE BOY
Officer Joseph Beam Pulls
Boy from Live Wire AS
Crowd Looks On.
RUSHED TO HOSPITAL
Kenneth Lindas, A Years Old,
Has 22O Volts Pass
Through Body.

Kenneth Lindas, four-year old son OF
Mr.. and Mrs. Charles r. Lindas, sos
Rowland avenue, today owes his life
to Police officer Joseph Beam. The
youngster was pulled away from live
wire that had fallen at the corner OF
Rowland avenue and Strong street on
Sunday evening at eight o'clock by
the officer while crowd of nearly one
hundred persons looked on. Another
few minutes, according to physicians
and the life might have been snuffed
out of the little boy, and it was only
through the courage and determine
tion Of Officer Beam that more serious
consequences were avoided.
The boy had been crossing the street
at the corner on his way home at the
time of the incident. A guy wire that
held an aerial on a home near the
corner snapped and fell across the
electric service wire throwing it ; to
the ground. Unaware of the danger the
boy tripped and fell on the wire and
an electric current of 220 volts passed
through his body. Flames and sparks
leaped out at the point Of contact, and
the boy began a terrific struggle to
free himself but in vain. His cries
attracted several persons, but none
volunteered to come to his assistance
A call was sent into the police office
and officer Joseph Beam and Henry
Fenske responded in the police ambu-
lance.
Officer Takes Shock.
When the officers arrived on the
scene large crowd had gathered and
all watched the boy scream and fight
in an effort to save himself. The. thing
to have done in case of an emergency
of that kind was to get an axe of some
kind and chop the wire between the
source of the current and the body.
But officer Beam saw that no axe was
handy, and-"well, / couldn't stand to
see him suffer on that wire, and ]
yanked him off by the collar" the Of
ficer said when he made his report at
police headquarters. The officer receiv-
ed shock of 220 volts when he grab
bed the boy and with the street SO
wet as it was at that hour the shock
was considerably intensified. The po-
liceman suffered only slightly from
the effects Of the shock, but the boy
was in a serious condition when he
was examined. Blood was streaming
from his mouth and ears, there were
severe burns about his knees and his
tongue was stuck to the roof Of his
mouth. He was unconscious.
The boy was rushed to the Kenosha
hospital in the police ambulance and
there DIR. Byron Nixon attended the
youths injuries.
This morning it was reported from
the hospital that the youth was not
suffering any serious consequences as
a result Of his accident, and physicians
said that there was the possibility that
he would be removed from the hospit-
al to his home on Rowland avenue late
today or tomorrow.

reported by Scotland Yards, as miss
