Earl Fletcher met a very sudden
and awful death at the Roseburg
Light and W ater Company’s office
Friday afternoon. The boy’s fath
er had made arrangements with the
i management of the company to let
Earl go around with theii lineman,
Mr. Hurd, and thereby learn some
things about the business, and in
this capacity he had served for
some time, and was at the office
more or less all the time.
In the rear of the office, and un
der lock and key, are three large
transformers, two incandescente ami
one arc light. These transformers
are connected direct with tbe dyna
mo at Winchester.
Earl aud Mrs. Jennie Krantz. the
company’s stenographer, were sit
ting iu the transformer room, the
former
was
reading
and Mrs.
Krantz went out into the office
j leaving the boy in the room. ' She
had not been in the office but a few
mint t-s wheu three awful unearthly
veils were heard.
Mr. Protzman
and Cochran were in the office and
they rushed to the transformer
room, where the roost awful sight
imaginable met their gaze.
There
was the boy with one band clasped
around tbe wire through which 10,-
ilOO volts of electricity was coming
intermittingly, one leg was drawn
up iu a cross wise manner, and the
soles of both shoes were burning.
The head bad dropped over on the
chest, and to all appearance death
had come when tbe first circuit was
made.
v
Mr. Cochran showed great pres
ence of mind in his actious.
He
sized up tbe matter in an instant
aud fully realized that the poor boy
was beyond any bilrnan aid aud it
was all he could do to keep ttie
other two people, who wituessed
the awful sight, from runuiDg up
and trying to jerk the body away
froui the wire.
I f this bad hap
pened they too would have met the
same awful death, for the body was
fully charged with as much -o f the
iq.iMMi volts as it was possible to ab
sorb.
