Claim of Wright v. Village of Little Valley

The claimant was an electrician in the employ of the village of Little Valley, and on September 10, 1928, while in the performance of his regular employment, he came into contact with a heavily charged electric wire; and thereby his head, leg and other parts of his body were seriously burned, the left arm to such an extent that it was necessarily amputated five days later.
