The accident occurred in the alley between seventeenth and eighteenth avenues at 2:30 pm after Speers climbed from a tree he was topping to inspect a wire snapped from a falling limb. Victim Fights Wire William PLUGHOFF, a resident of the neighborhood who was watching the men work, used a dry stick to pull the wire away from the victim's body. He was conscious and tried to fight himself free, Plughoff said. The ground was wet where he was lying, about eight feet from where he came into contact with the wire. He lost consciousness shortly after he freed himself. I put cold packs on and used artificial respiration, while my wife called the ambulance and the fire department. Inhalator Used The fire department used an inhalator on Speers until he was placed in the iron lung in the hospital. The iron lung was donated about six years ago by the Yakima Optimists Club. Mrs. Speers stood crying and praying next to her husband, while doctors and attendants tried to save his life. He did not regain consciousness, although doctors said at times his pulse became strong. Born in Missouri, Speers had lived in the Yakima Valley 14 years. He had worked in Yakima as a tree topper for a short period. He had been employed as a log truck driver in White Swan and Ellensburg. Besides his wife Edith, he is survived by three daughters, Miss Norma Lee Speers and Miss Barbara Speers both of Yakima, and his mother, Mrs. Thomas BROWN of Yakima. Langevin Meyers has charge of funeral arrangements.
