This morning James Deal, who is employed at the local electric light and gas plant as gas maker, had a very close call from electrocution as the re sult of coming into contact with one of the high power electric wires. Mr. Deal was engaged in working around one of the large oil tanks and was preparing to do some piping from one of the tanks to connect it up with one nearby, a::d while thus engaged a huge section 'of pipe he was han dling became over-balanced and fell across one of the high tension wires, and in an instand the whole force of the current was sent down the length of the pipe and the unfortunate young man, as he was standing on the metal tank, received the full force of the cin ient. lie was unable to let go of the pipe and it was not until the force of the current caused him to fall from the tank to the ground, several feet below, that he was able to escape the terrible force of the electric voltage. Both his hands were badly burned and his feet also, where the electricity burned holes in the soles of his shoes where there were metal nails. lie also was badly bruised about the head and shoulders from his fall to the ground, where he lay unconscious for some time, and as there was no one else in the gas plant it was not until he re-gained-consciousness that he was able to summon assistance and have the severe burns looked after by a physician.
