The man, Louie Kostl, age 27, was electrocuted when he touched the wire rope during lumber loading operations at Port Edward. Kostl was employed by Mix Construction Co. which has a former American staging area contract to demolish the huge cantonment for the Department of Veterans' Affairs. An inquest into his death was set for 2 o'clock this afternoon by Coroner M. M. Stephens.

Kostl touched the cable, and was electrocuted. Kostl, who Is said to be unmarried, came to Port Edward from his home at Biggar, Sask., several months ago.
