Boy Climber Roasts on Tower.

Corry, Pa.—While Floyd Lord, thirteen years old, was at play, the other day, a companion dared him to climb a 50-foot tower at the electric light station. The lad reached the top, touched a wire containing 16,000 volts and died instantly. The body was held suspended until current was shut off.
