Electric wire kills horse after windstorm Sunday
A horse at the Jefferson street residence of John Bentley was electrocuted around seven last evening after a live wire blew down in the storm. The wet ground and shod hoofs caused a fatal shock as the animal traveled forty to fifty feet before the wire untangled. Lineman Wade Privett and driver Sam Hays acted to remove the danger, but the horse died soon after. A second 2200 volt line near Jackson street was cut before any harm occurred, and reports say a Milton man may have been burned by a fallen high power line.
