from big bin in the elevator into a
car on the tracks. David in .compa-

the grain run down. Not realizing
the danger that threatened him Da-
vid playfully jumped into the bin
telling the other boys that he would
"make the oats go faster" The
weight of his body plunged him into
the grain waist deep and the suction
of the big spout began to steadily
pull him under. He screamed for
help and his comrades ran for assist

was being slowly smothered to death
