Description

GRISSOM, Chief Justice. H. N. Harris and wife sued the West Texas Utilities Company for damages caused by the electrocution of their minor son, Bobbie Harris. Plaintiffs alleged that Bobbie was employed by the Pioneer Gasoline Company to clean out its gasoline pipe line; that Bobbie and others would unscrew joints of pipe along the line, stand one end of a pipe on a block of wood and hit the pipe with a hammer to break loose the rust in the pipe; that, while Bobbie was so engaged, a pipe he was cleaning came in contact with defendant's high voltage electric line ""above his head"" and Bobbie was electrocuted. The sole ground of negligence either alleged or found by the jury was that defendant's electric line was maintained, at the point where Bobbie was electrocuted, less than 22 feet above the ground, contrary to the requirement of Art. 1436. The jury also found that the failure of the Utility Company to maintain its line at least 22 feet above the ground was a proximate cause of the death of Bobbie Harris. The jury found that neither Bobbie nor his father was guilty of negligence. Judgment was rendered for plaintiffs and the defendant has appealed.
