Howard A. Wattles, a lineman
aged 44 years, accidentally came In
contact with a "hot" wire while at
work for the Maupin Power company
! and was instantly killed. The acci
dent occurred Sunday evening, the
pdle he was working on being at the
rear of the O. P. Weberg residence.
The victim of this distressing col
lision with a live wire had been at
work for the company but one day,
having gone to Work Snnrlaw
ing, and was engaged in connecting
up a xran lormer. As he ascended
the pole J. H. Woodcock, in charge
of the work, asked Wattels if he
understood "hot" stuff and was in
formed that the workman had had
20 years' experience with urh
wires and that he wag not afraid for
results. He had succeeded In tie-
j ing in one wire and was attempting
to get hold of another when he in
advertently eame in contact with
the other live wire, the contact
forming a circuit which way carried
through his body, the result being
that he was killed instantly. He had
hold of one wire at the time and the
current passing through his hand
burned the fingers nearly off, caus
ing the body to sag and fall to the
cross arm, rt being held there by his
me oeit.
Quitea number of peopie caw the
names issuing from the body and
