This evening in the first-aid hall
at Lucerne Mines, the first-aid asso
ciation will present Joseph Traraon
tana, a miner of that place, their
aignal service medal for saving Gal
lentine Gil'opi, a fellow workman,
from being electrocuted on Sept. 26.
Gallopi was standing on a proj< c
%
jection high enough to allow his head
to reach the roof of the mine and in
the progress of his work his head be
came fastened between the roof and
the mine trolley wire, carrying SCO
volts. He threw his head sideways
and when he realized what plight he
was in he became confused and tried
to pull his head out, as any one might
naturally do. The result being that
he was shocked by the strong current
of electricity.
Tramontana, realizing the danger
ous situation, pried Gallcpi away
from the wire by some means or
other and applied artificial respira
tion immediately, continuing so for
about three-quarters of an hour.
This he did all alone, knowing that
if he took time to call help, the man
would be dead before assistance
oould come.
The cleer judgment and knowledge
of the remedy so thoroughly is all
that can be said why Gallopi is still
a miner today.
The medal the association is about
to give Tramontana for his seavice is
only given when the circumstances
are above the usual run of rescues.
This is the fourth medal so far given
and the first that a Lucerne Mines
First-Aid association has received.
