will prove fatal. ,
Mr. Glrad cajne here only a few
weeks ago from California, and yes
terday was working with a crew of
linenVen north of Winchester. The
workmen were engaged In straighten

and Glrad and John Gross were on a
polo together.
. Jui:t how he happened to come tn
contact with the wires, Glrad does
not know himself, but In some man
ner he touched two of the wires and
In an Instant he waa rendered un
conscious. -
W. R. Connelly, foreman of the
crew, who waa a short distance from
the pole, heard the noise as the cur
rent flashed across through Glrad'a
body and shouted to Gross. The lat
ter started toward his fellow lineman,
and the movement of the pole shook
the body loose from the wlrea and
allowed It to sag at the end of the
safety belt. Gross grabbed the hand
line, a rope used for raising or low
ering tools or apparatus, and looped
this into Glrad'a belt and lowered
the body to the ground, where arti
ficial breathing was used by Mr. Con
nelly to restore life to the body. The
resuscitation methods proved effec
tive and In a few minutes the in
jured man waa breathing again.
A passing tourist was hailed and .
