MEETS DEATH BY LIVE WIRE

ELEVEN YEAR OLD BOY MEETS DEATH WHILE PLAYING ON TOP OF BRIDGE

Woodrow Clelland, eleven year old son of Mrs. Frank Kizzier of Payette, with 
his two nine year old companions, Brooks Landon and Delvin McKamey, were 
fishing at Washoe Wednesday afternoon and on their return about 6 p.m., decided 
to climb on top of the steel bridge over the Payette river near the old Payette 
Flour Mills.  Young Clelland and Landon climbed to the top of the bridge while 
the McKamey boy, who was a little less venturesome remained on the floor of the 
bridge beneath them.  The Landon boy was standing on the top of the bridge near 
the side while the Clelland boy attempted to walk across the top of the bridge 
on one of the stringers and in doing so he came in contact with one of the 
Idaho Power Company’s power wires which cross the river on this, being 
supported above the bridge on wooden structures.  
The shock received by young Clelland caused him to fall to the bridge floor and 
his companions called assistance and he was removed to Dr. J. C. Woodward’s 
office and later removed to the Holy Rosary hospital at Ontario where he passed 
away at 2 A. M. this (Thursday) morning.
Mr. and Mrs. Kizzier have the sincere sympathy of their many friends in 
connection with this sad accident and death.
