Winston-Salem, May 25—Thurmon Hicks, aged 26 years, was instantly killed late this afternoon at West Forsyth and Broad streets when he fell from the top of a pole where he was aiding in the stringing of high voltage wires. He laned on his head, which was fearfully crushed by the fall.
Another man was at the top of the 30-foot pole with Hicks but he was unable to account for what caused his companion to fall. Employees of the company were not positive wherever Hicks came in contact with a life wire or just lost his balance.
He was a son of Mr. and Mrs. John Hicks and in addition to his parents is survived by his wife and two children.
