Bryon L. Kneisler, 28, Mankato, Kan., City electrical lineman was electrocuted Wednesday, July 16, 1975, when he apparently came into contact with a 4,160-vole primary line in the northwest section of Jewell county seat town.
According to City Administrator Don Hamilton, an investigation was continutin Thursday morning.
"The work wasn't really technical, " Hamilton said. "We just really don't know why it happened. From outward appearances it should never have occurred.:
Hamilton said Mr. Kneisler and another lineman (who was with another truck one pole away) were installing service lines into residences at the time. Hamilton said the primary line was wll above the deadened secondry lines with which the linemen were working. Hamilton said Mr. Kneisler was on a ladder connected to the back of a truck when he was electrocuted. The co-worker, in a larger truc,, happened to see him fall backword. Mr. Kneisler did not fall from the ladder, however.
He was taken to ehd Jewell County hospital where physicians tried for 1.5 hours to revive him.
