Young Negro Electrocuted
From Dawson News.
Receivng into his body from an
electric arc light, by contact with a
ymetal rope, thousands of volts of elec
tricity Bob Walker, a young negro,
met instant death Wednesday night.
The accident was a peculiar one,
and death came from a source little
expected. Walker, in company with
two or three other negroes, was lean
ing against an electric light post at
the corner of Church and Orange
streets, and in some way his hand
touched the metal cable by which the
lamp is lowered, and which, by a di
rect contact not known to exist with
the circuit wire, proved the transmit
ter of an electric shock that resulted
in the boy’s death.
In consequence of the accident the
dead boy’s mother has' entered suit,
through Atorney H. A. Wilkinson,
for $5,000. She alleges that the death
'of her son was due to criminal negli
gence on the part of the city. This
is the largest amount ever named in a
suit against the city of Dawson.
Thursday morning the council met
and offered the mother of the dead
hoy all burial expenses and SIOO in
cash, which was agreed to by the wo
man, but when the money was tender
ed she declined it and asked for a
larger sum. Efforts were made by
both sides for several hours to effect
a settlement, but no agreement could
be’ reached, and the city finally with
drew its first proposition and declined
to further consider the payment of
damages at aril.
It was then determined to enter
suit against the city, and the legal
fight promises to be an interesting one
from start to finish.
Neal Sutton, who escaped from the
Bainbridge jail, with two other pris
oners, some days ago, voluntarily re
turned and surrendered to the sheriff
last Saturday, declaring* he had only
ybeen to see his family and did not
mean to take a permanent leave.
A Klrschbaum suit is the best thing
that you can get—because It fits, wears
well, feels good and costs you less.
UNDERWOOD’S, of course.
Many a man who believes in giving
