BABY BOYS BIC
Waverly — Chief Brooks this
morning had one of the most un-
usual experiences in his long career
as a public officer, He interviewed
two burglars who have confessed
to breaking into scveral houses
within the past two weeks. The
leader of the band of two is cight
years of age ad his
plice is six years old
The lads are Frank an
Sullivan and their home is on Lin
coln street Among their accom
plishments is that of breaking into
the Lincoln street school house,
where they secured three dollars
in cash. From the house of the
sexton of the Presbyterian church
they secured keys of the edifice
and roamed through the pews
looking for collection money. Two
houses in Waverly street and one
on Lincola street are included in
their list, in the coafession made to
the officers this morning.
The lads are too young to be
sentenced for burglary, and what
disposition will be made is not yet
known. A good, sound spanking
is one of the penalties under con-
sideration.

DIES ON LIVE WIRE

of molten metal
works
Anderson was doing repair work on
the arm of a crane about 30 feet above
one of the hot metal pits. A slight
movement of the crane caused him
lose his equilibrium. The only support
within reach was an uninsulated elec
tric wire, which connected the crane
with the power motor
As Le toppled {rom the crane, work-

and he extended his arms fu a fractic
effort to right himself and keep from
falling in the metal pit, which was
seething under him like miniature

To those who were Jooking on it
seemed that the man struggled an hour
in midair although It was only a second
or two. He knew that to touch the wire
meant instant death, but he chose that
rather than plunge into the bLolling
metal. Reaching above his head, he
caught the wire just as his body shot
downward
There was a flash of blue flame, the
crackling of the current as {t entered his
body, then a burst of lame as his cloth-
ing caught fire. His fellows, as soon as
they could recover from the shock of
the tragedy. rushed toward him. The
force of the current seelned to have
welded the man's hand to the wire and
his body hung suspended for several
minutes, uptil the current could be
turned off
