Comedy Ends in Electric Scare at Shire Hall
A Lindow hawker named Doonet at Maclean’s Shire Hall triggered a fright when an accidentally electrified tank sparked shrieks as he turned the tap. An hall attendant locked a door to calm the scare, and Doonet, shocked, walked away to his caravan. The incident was blamed on a leak in nearby hydro electric conduit wires touching the tank during wet weather.
