urban Killed on Saturday

Norman Paul, the electrician in charge of the transformer station of the Toronto Suburban Station at Georgetown, received injuries on Saturday afternoon from which he died at nine o'clock that evening.
Mr. Paul, was at work at the sub-station alone at the time of the accident, and just how he came to his death is not known, but it is assumed that he came into contact with a live wire, and was thrown on his back. The direct cause of his death was a fractured skull, but both arms were badly burned.
When he was found he was in an unconscious condition. Dr. McAndrew was immediately summoned and accompanied the man to the General Hospital, Guelph. He never rallied, and expired at the hospital at nine o'clock.
An inquest is being held by Dr. Savage, coroner, Guelph.
