Darned fcy Electric Wire.
The little 6-year-old daughter of Wil
liam Bell, employed in a local lumber
yard, was severely burned and narrowly
escaped electrocution by catching hold ot
a loose wire hanging from the motor com
pany's trolley , line at First and Pierce
streets.
Linemen in the employ of the motor
company were making repairs and the
wire had been thrown over the heavily
charged trolley wire, with its end almost
reaching the ground. A piece of iron had
been attached to the wire and this at
tracted the curiosity of the child.
When the child grasped the piece of iron
the force of the current threw her to .the
ground and proved so strong that she was
unable to relax her arcs p. Her aister at
tempted to drag her away, but she also re-'
cetved a shock which threw her to the
ground. C. Hanscom happened to pass at
the time, and seeing the children's dan
ger hurried to tha rescue. He succeeded
fin loosening the child's' hand from "the
grasp ot the wire, lul waa severely
hocked in doing so.
The, child was removed to the home of
her' grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Dunlap,
at 128 Vine street, where medical assistance
was summoned. The little girl's hand was
badly burned, but it is hoped she will sus
tain no permanent Injury from the acci
dent, although when rescued from her per
ilous position her face bad become purple
from the effects ot the electiio shock, and
had she not been loosened from her hold
on the wire at the time she was it Is
doubtful it she would have survived much
longer.

TO MERGE STATE SCHOOLS
Plaa to Unite Soatk Dakota Univer
sity and Asrlcaltaral College
Considered by Resents.
SIOUX CITY, Ia.. Aug. 23. (Special Tele
gram.) The constant bickering of factions
has Induced the regents of the University ot
South Dakota and the Agricultural college
at Brookings to consider the advisability of
uniting the two achools. This was the state
ment given out here today by a prominent
South Dakotan.
The plan ot the regents is to remove the
State university from Vermilion to Brook
'.ngs. This would necessitate the abandon
ment of over $200,000 worth of buildings, but
It is figured by the regents that this sum
could be saved in a very few years. Tha
claim is msde that both Institutions are
teaching practically the same thing. It ia
pointed out that It would be economy to
unite the different departments of the school
Vermilion will reulst and a hot fight Is
likely to result. ' ca z

the last five or six years In building a new
library building, was cited before the city
council this evening to give an account of

less scandal. The library building waa to be

ctal tax levy waa made to aeoure the money.
Then the board went to work and there were
