LINEMAN KILLED
ASPOLEBREAKS,
CRUSHING BODY
j. r. Crosby, of ,Americus Light.
ing Company, Victif Of Fatal
Accident

j. R. Crosby, electrician and line
man for the Americas Lighting COM
pany, died at 1880 Sunday night
from injuries received Sunday after
noon when a line pole on which he
was working fell with him, terribly
crushing him.
The accident occurred at 4:30
o'clock Sunday afternoon on the East
side of Dudley street, the fatal pole
being the first one northward from
Church street. 1t was within 100
yards of the spot where h. l.. Holly,
also an employe of the same concern,
was electrocuted on pole May 4 Of
last year.
The heavy wind of Sunday, ac-
companied by heavy rain, had caused
several electric wires on that line to
fall and Mr.. Crosby, with other en-
Lolyes, was attempting to put the
line in condition for night electric
service in that section. Standing at
the top of the pole, he was pulling
backward with all his strength on Il
block and tackle stretching a heavy
wire running from the next pole. For
some unknown /ause the wire sud
denly broke with a snap, the result
of which was that his weight pulling
on the wire being suddenly released,
the pole gave way at the ground and
toppled over.
k. P. Ewing, local manager of the
company, was present and saw the
accident. Mr.. Crosby saw his dan
ger" said he, "and as the pole fell
worked himself around on top Of it
and was riding it fine. As it neared
the ground, however, the pole gave
a quarter turn, throwing him under
it. The cross-arm caught him right
across the face, terribly crushing his
jaws and nose and inflic2ng the
hurts from which he died. hls left
leg and right are were also broken" "
He was hurried to the City hos
pital where everything possible was
done for him without avail and he
died six hours later In the mean
time Manager Ewing placed another
pole, mounted it himself and COM
Ipleted the line job
Mr.. Crosby's home was in Villa
coochee. He came to Americus in
October, 1920, as an, employe of the
Americas Lighting company, and had
continued in that work ever since,
being a faithful and efficient en-
ploye and courteous and prompt in
his dealing with the public. He is
survived by his wife, whom he mar
ried in July last year, and several
borthers and sisters. Funeral ar
rangements We're held up pending the
arrival this afternoon of one of his
| brothers.
He was a member of several local
organizations, among them Sumter
Lodge No 264, l. 0. 0. f., and Ben
Hur Palace No. a, P. K. 0. S.
