TWO WHITEWRIGHT MEN ELECTROCUTED
Live Wire Charges Clothes Line, Killing Ira Davis and Bob Mayo
  Whitewright, Texas, March 12. -- A live wire that had fallen across a clothes
line caused the death of two men here yesterday evening at 7:40 o'clock.  Ira
Davis, a telephone line man, and Bob Mayo, a carpenter, were electrocuted
within a few seconds of each other.  The accidents occurred in the back yard of
Ira Davis.
  Mrs. Davis, wife of one of the dead men, was severely shocked while
attempting to free her husband from the wire tha killed him and but for the
efforts of Postmaster Lon Davis, she, perhaps, would have met death in the same
manner as did her husband.
  No one saw Mr. Davis come in contact with the wire, but his shouts attracted
others near by, among them Mr. Mayo, who was on his own premises more than
fifty feet away.  It was while the latter was making a dash to render
assistance to the lineman that he met his own death, though at a point several
steps away from Mr. Davis when he touched the wire.
  Wind, it is thought, caused a hanging wire to come in contact with that in
the yard.
  Mr. Davis leaves a widow and one child.  A widow and two children survive Mr.
Mayo.  Up to a late hour no arrangements have been made for the funerals,
though both bodies will probably be buried late today.
