The fuse had blown during an electrical storm Sunday evening. In attempting to replace it, he apparently allowed one of the wet wires to brush his shoulder.

Mrs. J. W. Kirk, a neighbor, saw him fall from the pole. She was glancing from her window to see what was causing a popping noise in her radio.
