  Two Men Killed by High Tension Line WAUKESHA, Wis. Two Wisconsin men were electrocuted Thursday in an attempt to rescue a third who narrowly missed death when a dredge boom struck a high tension line on a farm in the Town of Muskego. Those killed were Walter Weber, Muskego, and August Lorge, of Bear Creek. The Inured man was Albert Grimshaw, of Babcock, who suffered multiple burns, but was expected to recover. Grimshaw, according to authorities, was operating the dredge when the 18-foot boom came in contact with a line carrying 4,800 volts. The current pinned him to the machine. Weber and Lorge, attempting to release Grimshaw, in turn received the force of the current. The three finally were pried off by Louis P. Kunz, of Oconomowoc. Kunz, wearing rubber boots to avoid grounding the current, was not injured.
