LflSTIKE LIGHTS
OUT OF ORDER
(Special to Tho Obacrver)
LOSTINK, Dee. 23. iLast Friday
morninp one of tho big copper electric
power wires broke at u spiicinjr on top
of tho Iewis hill, just cast of town,
and caused considerable trouble for t
timo. It was in tho early mornimr,
pbout six o'clock, that it broke and
just before some of the people nearby
were up. Floyd Hammock found no
light but got a shock from touching
the socket of the kitchen light when
he went out there to see if it would
light. Mrs., Hummock then went to
the telephone and called for .lay L?w
is, who lives at the foot of the hill and
has an electric transformer in front
of his house, to inquire of light con
ditions there, and while 'Mr. Lewis
held tho receiver in one hand he turn
ed to the light' bulb with the other
hand to investigate and thereby b:-;
came a human connecting medium for
the electricity, as tho telephone lire
was heavily charged from the 'uruken
iwiie crossing it, and Mr. Lewis got
Buch a Khock he waa unconscious for
a short time. The current that passed
through his body burned out the fuse
on that line in central office, and, as
he fell to the floor, his hold broke
loose from the receiver and bulb or
it would have been fatal for htm. As
it was, his hands weie badly burned,
Theodore LuCert, working at M. O.
Courtney's dairy lanch, found some
thing had gone wrong with the lights
in the barn, lie thought the bu!h was
burning out and reached for it ti un
scrtw it to put in another. As he wait
standing on the damp floor h;, too,
got a pretty severe shock. Il's fin
gers were badly burned and the I'tfects
of the shock caused him to double up
and finally fall to the floor and that
broko his hold. Mr. and Mrs; Court
ney and Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Jackson,
living near Lewis aso got light shocks
and I. W. MatJee said it had
strange effects ut his home east of the
hill. The casings and woodwork and
poker and stove all seemed eharped
with it, where the end of the wi:e
touched the io;k:; alongside of the
road it burned the rock into a bubbling
I pool of liquid glass. Frank Hamilton
(and Itob McKeime were notified at
I Knterprise of the condition and came
down early, after shutting off Hv
j power on that line to enable them tc
'repair the damage. ; i
rauline ChiMers entertained some 'i
of her young frieii.ls at a party Sat-1 J
unlay in honor of her eleventh birth- ji
day. She had a grab bag with many' J
little surprises, and inch little friend
got something to lemember tho oc-lj
ension by. All reported a very pleas-
nut afternoon, J

a wood ennip up the mountain side and l

and to settle down to be an old man.

TURKEYS MAY DROP.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 23. Turk
ey j.oducers were advised by Harry S.
Matldox, state maiket director, to dis
pose of their birds at a "reasonable
profit" ratheri than hold them for
prices "which may antagonize con
sumers. '
Turkeys are moving slowly on the
local market Mr. Matldox declared in
a statement today, and said there was
more than tho prevailing maximum of
CM cents a pound. The price to pro
ducers , probably woultl'not go below
10 cents, he said, and idded that this
figure would provide, in most eases
a reasonable profit.
