Not only were the patrons of the combut the lads pany inconvenienced, after the trees, were flirting with death and only for the timely arrival of .the companys repair crew, were they prevented from being seriously, if not fatally, injured. The story, according to one of the companys officials, is to the effect that the boys had cut down a tree and in falling the tree fell on the high tension lines, tearing them from their moorings. The tree caught fire and the boys were about ready to try and rescue the tree from burning when the repair crew arrived. One of the lads remarked that if he had had a pair of pliers he would have cut the line and saved his tree. Fortunately for the boy he had no pliers and if he had attempted to handle the wire without proper knowledge death would have resulted almost instantly. We want to caution people against the dangerous practice of tampering in any way with the high voltage lines, said General Superintendent L. R. Fournier. Inexperienced parties, either men or boys, should cise every precaution when near the lines where the main power is transmitted. Coming in contact with these lines would be fatal. It is also a the lines gerous practice to down and in addition to this the company is put to a great expense at the sport of some daring individual who persists in using the high voltage lines as a target. Often times storms or other conditions will result in disconnecting the wires and when these wires are on the ground they are deadly dangerous. We would deem it a great favor if anyone finding lines down wilj not- - Eureka just before Christmas and' were spending the holidays with their children at Richfield. He was in apparently good health and was enjoying his visit, and his death, coming as it did, proved a shock to all. John Hood was a native of Scotland, being born there some 57 years ago. He first located at Eureka and some twenty-seve- n years ago he came to Salina, residing here six years. He and Mrs. Hood were active in social musical land cHutnli work and both were highly esteemed by all who knew them. Mr. Hoods wonderful musical talents and ability for leadership gave the community untold service. He directed the choir here and through his leadership many were led to follow his footsteps in the calling of music, and the citizens will always remember his unselfish service as well as his charming personality. Besides his musical work, Mr. Hood became a writer and often contributed articles for the local paper, and after going to Richfield he did much writing, being an employee of the paper at that city. After a residence of six years at Salina, the Hoods went, to Richfield, where Mr. Hood followed the same line of work as he did in this city. For many years he was supervisor of music for the Sevier county schools. Some seven years ago he went to Eureka where he was appointed supervisor of music in the schools there." His work at the big mining camp attracted the attention of the best musical critics in thestate and only this! fall he was appointed a member of the State Board of Musical supervision. Mr. Hood will never be forgotten by his hosts of friends here and the sincere sympathy goes out to Mrs. Hood and members of the family. Those surviving are the widow, one daughter, Mrs. Vivian Gurr, and three sons, Kenneth, Francis and Jack, all of Richfield. Funeral services will be held Sunday afternoon at Richfield, and following the services the remains will be interred in the Richfeld cemetery.
