Fred Hoblnson, a lineman In tho employ .
of tho Citizens' Gas and Klectrlc company, 1
met death yesterday morning whilo work- 1
Ing on a pole at Tenth avenuo und Sixth
street. Ills right arm came In coutuct with '
n live wire and tho shock caused him to
Iobo hla balance Ho fell thlrty-llvo feet
to the ground, sustaining a fracture of I
tho skull at tho baso of tho brain, which 1
caused his death within fifteen minutes ,
after he hnd been taken to tho Woman'
Christian Association hospital. Ills right
forearm and right side wero burnod from .
the 2,000-volt current with which ho had
come In contact. ,
Hoblnson was one of a gang nf linemen
working on the Sixth street line muklng
connections for supplying tho oillccs and
warehouses on Implement row with the
day circuit. In company with another line
man named J. Dclahtinty ho had climbed
the polo at Tenth avenue and Sixth street
for tho purpose of placing a block nnd
tackle to haul up the transformer by
which tho current Is reduced from 2,000
to lift volts, Delahanty was one side of
tho polo and be on tho othor when In
throwing up his right arm to cast the
rope over the wires, It came In contact
with one of tho two live wires. Contrary
to the usual practice he had not attached
his safety belt to tho polo and the shock
caused him to lose his balance.
Ilend Mtrlkcn Iron CrntliiK.
He struck his head on tho Iron grating
ovor the sower opening at tho curb, Al-
though unconscious 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 na pos
sible to tho hospital.
A post-mortem examination showed that
Hoblnson's death was due to the injuries ,
to his head received by the fall and not
from, the electric current. Tho brain wa3,
ruptured In several places nnd while tho
skull Itself wns not fractured the force
of tho fall had separated the bones along
tho sutures.
Coroner Treynor held an Inquest yester
day afternoon, at which the Jury brought
In a verdict to tho (cffect that Robinson
had died as a result of a fracture of the
skull sustained by falling from an electric
light pole, tho fall being duo to an electric
, shock received from a live wire, the prop
erty of the Council Bluffs Ons and Electric
Light company. The witnesses at tho In
quest wore C. H. Smallhouse, foreman; Ed
Brcnnan, Fred Thompson and J. Delahanty,
1 linemen employed on tho same Job with
Robinson, and Dr. Macrae.
Alf Hear Current Snap.
Tho testimony of the linemen showed
that two out of the eight wires on the
, pole on which Robinson was working were
live wires, but failed to throw any ngni
on how Robinson happened to como In con
tact with the current. All of tho witnesses
heard the "snap" when RoblnBon camo In
contact with tho current and Immediately
after saw him fall. Dr. Macrae gave tes
timony as to the man's Injuries and to the
post-mortem which showed that his death
wns duo to tho fracture of tho brain and
not to the electric current.
Robinson was 22 years of age and had
been working for tho Citizens' Gas and
Eloctrlc company several months during
the installation of the new electric light
system. Ills parents, Mr. and Mrs. D. C,
Robinson, live In Crate, Neb., whoro tho
t,iv win hn taken this morning. Anion
, Robinson, a brother, is employed at the
lunch counter In tho Burlington depot In
Omaha. Ho took charge of tho body yes
terday afternoon and will accompany It to
1 Creto this rooming.
Young RoblnBon was a most emcieni
workman and a great favorite with tho
othor linemen. His sudden death cast a
gloom over them all and thoy all quit work
for tho afternoon In consequence.

Orders Hrvrard Paid.
Governor Shaw today ordered tho reward
paid In the case of the Wolverton arreat
In Nebraska several years ago. Mary Gll
flllan was found murdered at tho Burling
ton water tank In Osceola, la., December
20, 1876, and Joe Wolverton, who hnd been
keeping company with her, was suspected
of tho crime. Ho suddenly disappeared, and
a reward of $250 was offered by Clarko
county, and later a reward of equal
amount was offorcd by Governor Drako for
his arrest. Wolverton had a brother liv
ing In Story county, and tho postmaster at
Cambridge watched tho mail closely. Ho
saw letters addressed to tho brother ,from
Mynard, Cass county, Neb., with a return
card for John DeOroot. Suspecting that
this was tho missing Wolverton Postmaster
King of Cambridge sent a photograph of
Wolverton to W. A. Swearlngen, post
master nt Mynard, who Identified him as
tho person who sent the letters. Subse
quently, upon this Information and on
orders from Clarke county, Iowa, tho shcrUf
of Cass county, Nebraska, arrested Wolver
ton. Tho county reward was divided bo
tweon tho postmaster at Mynnrd nnd the
Bherlff of Clarke county, after expenses
wore paid. Tho state reward has been In
controversy as tho sherlfl of Cass county
claimed It nil Today Governor Shaw di
rected payment of $150, to Postmaster King
of Cambridge and ' lp0 to ox-Postmaster
Swearlngon of Mynard, now llvlug at Ber
lin, Otoo county. Wolverton was tried and
acquitted, a rich undo making a hard fight
for him In tho courts.
Secretary Vnn Houten'n I'lsMninti.
Secretniy Van Houten of tho stato agricul
tural department today mado a stntcment
of his observations In regard to crops in
Iowa. He has rocently traveled several
thousand miles In tho state nnd has oh-
sorved closely, although ho has not lieen
out since tho recent rainfall. Ho estimates
that liny, excopt In tho southenst nnd south
central portions of tho stato. will be nearly
an avorago crop, put up In fairly good con
dition. Some of It dried too quickly, but
the crop Is generally fair In quantity nnd
quality. In the south part of the stato
winter whent was generally good, but thn
ncreago Is under tho average Thero Is
llttlo winter wheat In thn north part nf
the state, but tho spring wlieat is an
avorago crop. Tho oats crop Is medium to
good, with n light tcld of Btraw, Late
oats were fairly woll filled. The quality
of tho straw Is excellent, which ndds to tho
roughage on tho farms. Tho flax crop is
light. Corn, which Is the mainstay of Iown
farmers, will bo not more than 40 per cent
of a crop In the stato as a whole. Tho
rnrly corn was badly damaged. In the
south and southwest the stand Is thin. In
tho northwest and north-contral part th-s
crop Is fairly good. Tho rains hnve not
yet brcn sufficient to recover tho ground
lost during the long drouth. The potato
crop Is Injured most and is tho worst
slnco 1S94. However. Mr. Van Houten
thinks there Is no cause for tho panic
among farmers. The pastures are prac
tlcallv nil gono, but thero Is an abundance
of hay nnd forage If cared for and tho
farmers can. If they will, keep their young
stock through until next year.
