His right arm came in contact with live wire and the shock caused him to lose his balance. He fell thirty-five feet to the ground, sustaining a fracture of the skull at the base of the braln, which caused his death within fifteen minutes after he had been taken to the Woman's Christian Assoclation hospital. His right forearm and right side were burned from the 2,000-volt current with which he had come In contact. Robinson was one of a gang of linemen working on the Sixth street line making connections for supplying the ofices and | warehouses on implement row with the day cireuit. In company with another line- man pamed J. Delahanty he had climbed the pole at Tenth avenue and Sixth street for the purpose of placing a block and tackle to haul up the transformer by which the current is reduced from 2,000 to 115 volts. Delahanty was one slde of the pole and he on the other when in throwing up his right arm to cast th rope over the wires, it came in contact with one of the two live wires. Contrary to the usual practice he had not attached his safety belt to the pole and the shock caused him to lose his balance. i Hend Strikes Iron Grat a a ' He struck his head on the Iron grating over the sewer opening at the curb. Al- though unconsclous he struggled violently and it took several of his fellow workmen to hold him down until the arrival of Dr. Don Macrae, who had been summoned. Robinson was removed as speedily as pos- | sible to the hospital A post-mortem examination showed that Robinson's death was due to the injuries to his head received by the fall and not from the electric current. The brain was ruptured in several places and while the skull itself was not fractured the force | of the fall had separated the bones along | the sutures. | Coroner Treynor held an inquest yester- | day afternoon, at which the jury brought; In a verdict to the effect that Robluson | had died as a result of a fracture of the skull sustained by falltng from an electric ! Iight pole, the fall being due to an electric shock received from a live wire, the prop- erty of the Council Blufts Gas and Electric Light company. The witnesses at the in- quest were C. H. Smallhouse, foreman; Ed Brennan, Fred Thompson and J. Delahanty, linemen employed on the same Jjob with Robinson, and Dr. Macrae. All Hear Current Snap. The testimony of the linemen showed |that two out of the eight wires on the pole on which Robinson was working were live wires, but falled to throw any light on how Robinson happened to come in con- tact with the current. All of the witnesses heard the “suap” when Robinson came in contact with the current and Immediately atter saw him fall. Dr. Macrae gave tes | timony as to the man's injuries and to the | post-mortem which showed that his death | was due to the fracture of the brain and’ not to the electric current. Robinson was 22 years of age and had been working for the Citizens' Gas and | Electric company several months during the installation of the new electrlc light system. His parents, Mr. and Mrs. D. C Robinson, live in Crete, Neb., where the {body will be taken this morning. Amon Robinson, & brother, ls employed at the lunch counter in the Burlington depot in Omaha. He took charge of the body yes- terday afternoon and will accompany it to Crete this morning. | Young Robinson was & most eficient workman and a great favorite with the other linemen.

Orders Reward Patd. Governor Shaw today ordered the reward paid in the case of the Wolverton arrest in Nebraska several years ago. Mary Gil- fillan was found murdered at the Burling- ton water tank in Osceola, la., December 26, 1876, and Joe Wolverton, who had been keeping company with her, was suspected | of the crime. He suddenly disappeared, and a reward of $250 was offered by Clarke | county, and later a reward of equal | amount was offered by Governor Drake for his arrest Cambridge watched the mall closely. He saw letters addressed to the brother from Mynard, Cass county, Neb., with a return card for John DeGroot. Suspecting that this was the missing Wolverton Postmaster King of Cambridge sent a photograph of Wolverton to W. A. Swearingen, master at Mynard, who identified him as the person who sent the letters. Subse- quently, upon this information and on orders from Clarke county, lowa, the sherift of Cass county, Nebraska, arrested Wolver ton. The county reward was divided be- tween the postmaster at Mynard and the sherift of Clarke county, after expenses were pald. The state reward has been in controversy as the sherifi of Cass county claimed it all. Today Governor Shaw di- rected payment of $150 to Postmaster King of Cambridge and $100 to ex-Postmaster Swearingen of Mynard, now living at Ber 1in, Otoe county. Wolverton was tried and acquitted, & rich uncle making a hard fight for him in the courts. ry Van Houten's Estimate. Seere Secretary Van_Houten of the state agricul- tural department today made a statement of his observations in regard to crops Towa. He has recently traveled several thousand miles in the state and has ob- served closely, although he has not been out since the recent rainfall. He estimates that hay, except in the southeast and south central portions of the state, will be nearly an average crop, put up in fairly good con dition. Some of it dried too quickly | the crop is generally fair in quantity and {quality. In the south part of the state winter wheat was generally good, but the | acreage 18 under the average. There i3 lttle winter wheat fn the north part of the state, but the spring wheat Is an average crop. The oats crop is medium to | good, with a light yield of straw. Late oats were fairly well filled. The quality of the straw fs excellent, which adds to the roughage on the farme. The flax crop I8 light. Corn, which fs the mainstay of lowa farmers, will be not more than 40 per cent of a crop in the state as a whole. The early corn was badly damaged In the south and southwest the s! nd is thin the northwest and north-c tral part crop 18 fairly good. The rains have not yet been suficlent to recover the ground | lost during the long drouth. The potato crop i6 injured most and the worst since 1504, However, Mr. Van Houten thinks there is no eause for the panl among farmers.
