CARLISLE BOY DIES
FROM ELECTRIC SHQCK
Carl Keiser, Ten Years Old, Killed
by Contract With Wire
During Storm
GREAT DAMAGE IN COUNTY
Large Water Tank Crashes
Through Factory Building
Near Dillsburg
Sfecial to The Telegraph
Carlisle, Pa., June 11.—One person
JS dead and several others seriously
Injured as the result of the severe
electrical storm which swept this sec
tion yesterday. Trees and wires were
blown down in a score of places
through the country and the amount
of the damage is large.
As he was playing with some boy
friends during the storm, Carl, the
3 0-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs.
George Keiser, residing in West Lou
ther street. Carlisle, was shocked so
severely when he came in contact
with one of the high voltage cables of
the electric, light company, broken
down by the storm, that he died
twenty minutes later.
James P. Zeigler, a prominent
draying contractor, who attempted to
rescue the boy, was thrown a score of
feet by the contract, but finally suc
ceeded in pulling the lad from the
wire, suffering severely, however, in
the attempt. The boy's hand came in
contact with the wire from which the
insulation had been striped by the
short circuit and the member was
partly burned away. In spite of the
efforts of several of the town's best
physicians he died without gaining
consciousness. His parents and a sis
ter survive.
Other minor shocks are reported
as the result of falling electric wires
crossing telephone cabies.
Near Dillsburg, a large tank on a
canning factory sank through the
roof and the engineer of the plant was
injured. The girls employed in the
factory, were in a panic after the big
tank had splintered through the
building and the water drenching the
interior. None of them, however, was
seriously injured.
The storm prostrated telegraph and
telephone wires and trees were blown
down in all directions. Several per
sons were more or less injured in at
tempt to use telephone lines which
had been blown across heavily charged
electric wires.
