SUIT ECHOES SAD FATALITY
Iowa Public Service Company Is Made Defendant in Law Action
Boy Was Electrocuted
Kite Became Entangled in High Power Line
Echo of a sad accident which occasioned the death of the small boy, while
playing with a kite is sounded in a lawsuit for damages filed in the
District Court here Wednesday by Edward M. Dilley, administrator of the
estate of Melvin Gale Dilley, against the Iowa Public Service Co.
The petition states that the service company is incorporated under a
character in the State of Delaware.
The petition says Melvin Gale Dilley, aged nine years was injured March 20,
when a kite he was flying came in contact with a high power line operated by
the company. The boy died the following day from his injuries.
Among the allegations upon which the suit is based, it is stated that the
company strung transmission wires through the streets of Kingsley, where the
fatality took place, without any permission or authority of the town, and
the wires were not guarded or insulated and were excessively dangerous.
The boy it is stated was on his way to the kite flying ground and was
holding his kite by a string bound with wire to a handle. The kite lodged
in a high power line carrying a 32,000 voltage. The boy was electrocuted
by the shock, dying a few hours later. The administrator asks for $15,000 in
damages.
Happiness Short Lived.
Erma Lockard filed suit in the District Court Thursday against Greydon

that he abandoned her without means of support. She asked the court for a
decree of divorce and equitable relief.
