medical aid was called to attend to the
injured man. His injuries consisted of
broken arm, broken collar bone and
also couple of fractured ribs. His in

able as possible. Although Mr.. Schaf-
fer was badly used up, yet, unless he
has suffered internal injuries, his recov-
cry is possible. Another workmen had
3ne of his hands slightly hurt by the
Iccideht; however it lis nothing serious.
