TOUCHES live
WIRE. KNOCKED
TO Street DEAD
DAVID ROBERTS, EMPLOYED BY
PENSACOLA ELECTRIC CO., WAS
UP A POLE WORKING WITH
WIRES WHEN ACCIDENT &C.
CURED.

David Roberts. a young white man,
employed by the Pensacola Electric
Company, received injuries about 10
o'clock yesterday morning while at
work on an electric light pole on South
Tarragona street, between Romano and
Chase, which resulted in his death
while being conveyed to an infirmary
in an ambulance.
An examination by physicians at the
infirmary showed that the young man
had received a shock of electricity by
his right arm coming in contact with
a live wire on the pole on which he
was at work, resulting in his arm be-
ing badly burned and sending a shock
of heavy voltage through him. This
caused him to fall to the pavement,
about forty feet below, which, ac-
cording to the statement of Acting
Manager Thos. ]. Hanlon. of the cleo
trio company also resulted in Rob-
/ ert's neck being broken.
The remains were embaImed by
Northup & Wood and will be held
pending the arrival in the city of rel
atives. The hour of the funeral will
be announced later.
Roberts is survived by his mother
and father, Mr.. and Mrs. John Roberts
who reside at Baskerville, and one
! brother, who is also an employee of the
Pensacola Electric Company.
The deceased was IS years old and
a native of Canada. He was unmar-
ried.
