j. R. Keller came very near getting
his head pulled off or some other serious
| damage done him Friday while climb

about half way through the scuttle hole
and caught him so that he could not
get up or down, but fortunately after
| some time spent in an effort to get out,
the wind let up and he was able to
move the wheel back. Had it been a
| strong wind he would undoubtedly have
been seriously injured. We congratu-
late HIM on his fortunate escape.
