CLEARWATER, Kan. (AP) Power has been restored to parts of three south-central Kansas counties where the lights went out when a power line fell on a row of hay bales, causing a brief fire.
More than 5,000 people were without power Sunday in Harper, Kingman and Sumner counties.
KWCH-TV reports officials with Wheatland Electric said about 4 a.m. Monday that all power had been restored.
A spokesman for Wheatland Electric says the line belongs to Westar Energy but supplies power to the company for the three counties.
The outage started about 1 p.m. Sunday when a crossarm on a transmission line near Clearwater failed, causing a conductor to fall.
