LIVE WIRE KILLS BOY.
Was Coroner's Verdict in Case of Arion Scheidler.
That his death was due to an electric shock, will be the verdict in the inquest proceedings into the death of Arion Scheidler, 15 years old, whose body was found lying on the ground beneath the gallery of a building at Travis and St. Mary's Streets, shortly after 3 o'clock Friday afternoon. Investigation by Juscice R. Neill Campbell indicated the boy was electrocuted while handling a charged wire which dangled from the structure. Boys, it is said, had attached a piece of electric wire to the feed line, using the extension to kill ants, insects and worms. In some manner, while the boy, who was barefooted, was standing on damp ground, the charged wire came in contact with his body. The body is held at the Riebe Undertaking Company, pending funeral arrangements. He is survived by his parents. His mother, Mrs. Elizaabeth Scheidler, resides at 111 1-2 East Quincy Street. His father has been in Wharton, Texas.
