F.' Libby, of the Knitting Co., had been electrocuted at Owen Sound, 'His father, Mn. Frank Libby, who was 1» Clinton at tate time, immediately left by car for Owen Sound.. The New Era wired the Owen Sound Sun -Times for particulars and the fol- lowing message was sent; ,. Emmerson Libby, the eighteen .year old son of Mr. Frank Libby, of the Clinton Knitting 13o., Ltd„ was elect- rocuted this morning about eleven o'clock when he cane in contact with a live wire to front of the Knitting factory on Ninth street, east, The young man's death was almost instant- aneous and although four doctor's were summoned to his aid as soon as ane was seen to drop, nothing could be done to bring back life to the unfortunayte victim. Young Libby was engaged in painting the front of the Clinton Knit- ting Company's factory and Owen Sound Garage Ltd., and was on a scaf- fold eight feet above the concret pave- ment. He caught hold of the end of an electric service wire with one hand and a grounded conduet with the other. Holding to the wire for a second or two he fell backwards to the sidewalk below gasping for breath. First aid was rendered him immediately but everything that could be done could not save his life and he died a minute or two later. An inquest was ordered and a cor- oner's jury was empanelled this after- noon. The Jury viewed the remains in Breckenridge's undertaking parlors and adjourned till next Wednesday night. The retains are being shipped to Clinton Thursday afternoon for burial. Mr. Frank Libby, the father, is in Clinton at the present time. Particulars are now g g s to the work and the rates of pay. These are interesting in view of the fact that they apply to all rural dis- tricts. For every name the enumera- tar places on his roll, he will receive registering farms twenty-five cents thirty cents for five cents. For under five acres, will be paid, and To the father and grandfather, the heartfelt sympathy goes out to then in their loss. When Mn. Libby sr first came to.Clinton, Emmerson came what him and made his home here up to the time of the Co. opening a plant in Owen Sound when he went there with his father. 'r The funeral service will be held in St, Paul's church on Friday afternoon at 2 o'clock and interment will be made in Clinton cemetery. i REV. E. C. POWELL DIES AT LUCAN 'farms over this.
