- It was his duty to go up a ladder from time to time to look at a water gauge. The ladder was an iron one and is firmly fixed at the top and bottom. He was found at the bottom of the ladder with a fractured skull, and died the same day. He was wearing new boots and it is assumed that he slipped and fell when ascending or descending the ladder.
