"Phone & As | Betore ordering | BOYISH BANTER IS FATAL Edward Madsen Killed by Grasping Two Live Electrio Wires, INSTANTLY KILLED BY HEAVY CURRENT Warned by His Companions Not to Touch the Wires, but He Disre- the Warning, with Fatal Results. In @ spirit of bravado and with the ex- pressed intention of “bantering” his youth- ful companions, Bdward Madsen, the 13- year-old son of Jens C. Madsen, climbed yesterday afternoon to the top of one of the electrio light company's poles in the alley at the rear of 112 Fourth street and, desplte the warning of his playmates, grasped the heavily charged feed wires with both hands. In a few seconds he fell to the ground a corpse, almost at the feet of his horrified young companions. Young Madsen lived with his parents at 110 Bluff street, his father being employed as a clerk in the store of John Beno & Co. He attended the Third Street school and at the close of school yesterday afternocn, with several of his young playmates, re- paired to the home of Kenneth Harmon, the young son of Mrs. Rachel Harmon, at 112 Fourth street. For a while the boys amused themselves by exercising vn the turning pole in the yard at the rear of the house. Then the lads begau to “banter” one an- other and dared one another to climb the pole and touch the first cross-arm. This feat all of the boys, except young Harmon, who had gone into the house, accomplished, and then young Madsen, in a spirit of bra- vado, said he would climb to the top and straddle the top cross-arm. Dead When He Fell. His companions warned him of the dan- ger, but he persisted. On reaching the first arm he stood up on it and, despite the continued warnings of the boys below, seized the wires with both hands. His body straightened for a few seconds and then fell to the alley below. In falling the body struck the board fence, breaking one of the boards loose. The contact with the fence broke the lad's neck and fractured his skull, but he was dead when he fell. Both hands where he had caught hold of the electric light wires were burned to the bone. The lifelgss body of the little lad wi carried into the warehouse of the Empk! Shugart Hardware company and laier re- moved to Cutler's undertaking rooms on order of Coroner Treynor, who will hold an inquest this morning. Horace Greer, the young son of L. H. |urur, one of the boys with young Madsen ‘when bhe met his death, gave this account of the accident. He after exerclsing on the turning pole until they all tired of this form of amusement they began to “‘banter”’ one another and each one in turn climbed the pole and placed their hands on the cross-arm. Young Madsen then sald: “I will ‘banter’ you all. I can climb to the top and straddle’the top cross-arm,” and proceeded to do so. His companions told him not to touch the wires, as if he did he would get killed. Young Madsen only laughed back at them and continued to climb. Reaching the first cross-arm, he stood up on it, and the other boys, fearing he would catch Rold of the wires to sup- port himself, called out ot him not to do #0. Young Madsen answered back that the wires would not hurt him, as they were “wrapped” and, leaning fo w‘f over the cross-arm, grasped the two h¥avy cables with both hands. His horrified companions say smoke began to issue from the wires and young Madsen's body straightened out for a few seconds and then fell back, strik- ing the board fence in its descent. Death had evidently come instantane- ously to the boy when ne grasped the wires, as they carry an exceedingly heavy voltage and the insulation on them affords no pro- tection. The wrapping on the feed wires is only placed there to prevent short eir- cuiting in case other wires should come in contact with them. ™h The police are of the opinion that the highwayman who hcld up and robbed Charles W. Letchford in his butcher shop Monday night was one of the two men who a few weeks ago broke the front window of Herman Leffert's jewelry store on Broadway and carried away considerable plunder, which they dropped on being pursued. One of the men who robbed the Leffert store dropped a revolver which proved to be one of those stolen from Wright & ‘Wilhelmy in Omaha. The revolver which Letchford succeeded In taking from the bandit who attacked him Monday night also turns out to be one of the revolvers stolen from the Wright & Wilhelmy store. This leads the police to the belief that if the fellow who robbed Letchford was not one of the men who broke the window of Lef- fert's jewelry store, he at least belongs to the same gang of holdup men. The hat which Letchford's assailant left behind him bore the trade mark of Frederick, the | Omaha hatter. Two men &iving the names of J. T. Mur- phy and O. C. Carson were arrested yester- day efternoon In a Broadway saloon on suspicion. Murphy was found to be car- rying a large Colt revolver, but the number did not correspond with that of any stolen from the Omaha firm. A tip was given the police that Murphy and Carson had, while drinking In the saloon, stated that they would kill any fellaw who tipped them off. Murphy had letters addressed to him in care .of the Union Pacific, Omaha, and is thought to be a strike breaker. Letchford falled to identify either of the men as the one who bad held him up. on Holdup. N. Y. Plumbing Co., Tel. 250, Night, Fés1. Appraise Keystone Property. W. H. Town, W. F. Sapp and H.

Amusement May Be Dear, Fred Glenn, a cattle driver, amused him- selt yesterday afternon by riding onto the porch of the residence of W. C. Webster on the Judson farm, east of the city. After breaking the porch down Glenn proceeded [s wa/lle wosders INTEREST FROM to break the windows of the house with his riding whip. A plece of the glass struck and cut Webster's 3-year-old son on the head, infilcting & bad wound. When Mrs. Webster ran out to protect her property Glenn struck her with the whip. Mgs. Webster's cries attracted her husband, who was working i» the barn, and he, with the assistance of two neighbors, corralled Glenn and brought him to the police sta- tion. An information charging Glenn with malicious mischief and assault was filed in the court of Justice Carson. Glenn was under the influence of drink. Matters in Diatrict Conrt.

MINERS COMMENCE REAL BUSINESS Announcement Made that Bryan Fol- lowers In Up owa H Not Given Idea of Controlling the Party. (From a Staft Correspondent.) DES MOINES; March 3.—(Special.)—A small bank robbery was committed at the town of Runnells, twelve miles east of Des Moines, this morning. The robbers blew open a safe in the pank and got $180, which was easy accessible. They were on the point of blowing open or unlocking an inner door, which contained a larger sum of money, when they were frightened away. What caused their fright is not known, a no person at Runnells had seen them or heard them at work. When the proprietor of the bank arrived In the morning he discovered what bad happened. About the same time it was discovered that the rob- bers had taken a team from a livery stable nearby. This team brought them to Des Moines. They arrived just at 6 o’clock and hitched the team in front of the home of Sherift Mattern on the east side and then walked away. They were seen to hitch the horses there by a carpenter, who had started to his work,.-and he gave a very fair description of the men. The police here do not know who they are. The team had been driven hard. The robbers would have secured about $4,000 If they had broken into the safe. Cashier Gilbert of the bank arrived in the city this after- noon and stated that two men had been seen about the place for several days and he would be able to recognize them at once. Miners Are Hopeful. The convention of the representatives of mine unions in district No. 13 met at 10 o'clock today, President Perry presiding and about 140 delegates present. They were welcomed to the city by Mayor Bren- ton and there were addresses by Arthur £. Holder, president of the state federa- tion, and by A. E. Brigham, state labor commissioner. The standing committees | for the convention were appointed by the president and the day was spent in hear- ing minor reports of the union. The scale committee appolnted consists of the follow- ing: John Ream, Beacon; Emil Anderson, Des Moines; John Cockran, Cleveland; Wil- liam Neslop, Lehigh; Patrick McMann, Centerville; Harvey Coon, Mendota; James A. Gadd, Jamestown. The tone of the ad- dresses and reports was all very hopeful of an excellent convention and harmony in all matters. Banquet Program Unchanged. Editor George Rinehart of the Newton Herald, who planned the Jefferson day banquet and arranged the program, stated today that there has been no change in the program except that several have been invited who were not to speak at first, and that the banquet has been all along and s now for demograts of all kinds. But the conterence whigh is to be held the day pre- ceding the qiret is to be strictly for the Bryan demperats and for the purpose of organizing to retain control of the state organization and controlling its affairs this year and next.
