The unfortunate young man, with other workmen, was working on | a steel upright when in some manner | his body came in contact with a wire carrying 13,000 volts of ‘electricity.

Among those who were at work at | the time was Cornelius Lynch, &ho had a close call from a similar fate about a year ago on Elm street. As soon as the companions of Mr, Burns saw his body fall to the floor they rushed to his side, but life was ex- | tinct.

The text of the resolution is printed in the newspaper Pravda of that city. Reports reaching this city indica.le there is fear of new - disordenrs in Bolshevik Russia. The ,organization of the new “international army” plans for which were announced last week has been commenced. This force will replace the old’ soviet army and will be made the basis of the military strength which will be available to en- force the dictates of the third inter- nationale. —————e e 45 ALIENS MISSING Were to Have Been Deported From Detrgit—May Have Left Country Detroit, Ap: 5.—Forty five aliens for whom depbrtation arrangements are held by federal.officers here have disappeared, it was annoynced today.
