John Baldwin, who has been in the
employ of Ike Baer for over two months
past, met with a painful accident few
days ago up at the Martin ranch on the
mesa. While on load of hay with his
partner the latter used a pitchfork to
prod up the team. and the handle came
in contact with Mr.. Baldwin's face, and
quite cash over the right eye was the
result. Jack claims that he is one of
unluckiest mortals on the face of the
globe, but of late years the mishaps
have been fewer and farther between.
Nearly every limb of his body has been
fractured, and he has had many narrow
escapes in some of his aerial flights.
He has quit pitching hay, and is going
back to painting as soon as able.
