The work on the court house has pro
| crossed so far without an accident OF
any consequence. and it is seldom that
I a public building Is erected without
| some of the workmen meeting with
! fatal mishap. Last Saturday, however.
| one of the workmen at the court house
| came near being hurled to a frightful
| death. He was employed on the tower,
a distance of $50 feet from the ground.
! He missed his footing and fell cross
} wise over an opening. BY the merest
accident he was able to hold himself
perfectly rigid, thus preventing his body
slipping through the opening, and his
/ life was saved. Had his body passed
/ through the opening he would have been
hurled to certain death.-Tipton Times.
