"CURRENT IS BROKEN WIDE PROVES FATAL
JERRY WELSH PICKS UP LIVE WIRE AND IS KILLED
WORKMEN HAD WARNED HIM
Watchman at Bradley plant is victim of twenty-two hundred volts.
Believed wind had blown wire from transformer near building.
Jerry Welsh, watchman at the Bradley plant yesterday evening picked up a live wire that had broken from the transformer and was instantly killed by the 2,200 volts which shot through his body. Workmen at the dredging plant near by declare they shouted to him not to touch the wire, but he evidently did not hear them and deliberately stooped, as if to pick up the wire and throw it to one side.
It is believed that the wind had blown the wire from the transformer, which is near the corner of the Bradley plant building. This plant has been closed down for some time. Welsh was formerly employed as a foreman there, but when the plant was closed he was given a job as watchman.
It was about 6 o'clock last evening when the accident occurred. The dredging plant men had seen the wires sputtering on the ground, but Welsh evidently had not. They shouted to him to leave them alone, but he stooped and touched one and was killed.
Dr. Bancroft was summoned and went to the scene of the accident with Coroner McHale. On their arrival they found Nurse McPherson on the scene. Welsh was dead. Coroner McHale made a brief investigation and ordered the body removed to the city.
An inquest will be held at 7:30 this evening in the Tuttle & Mahoney undertaking establishment.

Nine years ago the family came to Montana from Calumet. For six years they lived in Butte, where he was foreman in the Bell mine, and three years ago moved to Anaconda. Mr. Welsh was a member of Anaconda camp. No. 154, Woodmen of the World. Besides his family here, he is survived by two sisters, Mrs. Andrews and Mrs James Phillips, and one brother, Richard, in Calumet. Mrs. John Welsh of Butte is a sister-in-law.
