Description
Frank M. Reed, claimant, a 45-year-old resident of Sheridan, and his partner subcontracted with Husman Bros., Inc., prime contractors, to do certain fencing work in connection with a Bureau of Roads project at Centennial, Wyoming, the claimant being reported by Husman Bros. to the Workmens Compensation Department as on the payroll. The fencing work had been commenced July 5, 1967, and while setting a post about 11 a.m., August 23, Reed felt a pain through his arms and chest. He tried to work for a time, went to lunch at noon, and after going back on the job, felt worse.

There the employee saw Dr. Don Reed, who placed him in the hospital with a diagnosis of acute coronary occlusion of the posterior wall of the heart. He was discharged from the hospital on September 4 and thereafter filed a report of the accident as did Husman Bros. The case was subsequently transferred to Sheridan for hearing, at which time both the employer and employee were represented by counsel. The only medical testimony offered was given by Dr. Reed. The court found the claimant to have been engaged in extra-hazardous employment for Husman Bros. and that he did "suffer" an accident while so engaged in his duties and was entitled to all the benefits accruing under the Workmens Compensation Law as an employee. Thereafter the Wyoming State Treasurer, ex rel. Workmens Compensation Department, under the provisions of § 27-129, W.S. 1957 (Compiled 1967), filed a petition to reopen the case, which was denied, and the cause is before us on the appeal of both the State Treasurer and the employer. Three questions are presented for determination:
