Nick G. Roberts was employed as a pipeline tender on an electrically driven dredge operated by a Mr. Hersehgen, clearing out the channel of a stream. Mr. Roberts' shift was from three o'clock in the afternoon until eleven at night. About seven-thirty p. m. on July 23, 1949, a transformer fuse burned out in a substation about one thousand feet from the dredge, through which the dredge received its electrical power (13,000 volt line).
