feat the other day that probably not
without being killed: He was up on
the top of a 22.foot ladder picking
fell over backward. He says he shot
down the ladder at lightning rate,
beating the ''shoot the chutes'' all to
pieces. He struck on his head with 8
thump, which caused him to see stars
in all directions On getting up he
found his neck was still in position.
His pail had dropped bottom side up
and not grape had spilled out. He
picked up the pail, went to the top Of
the ladder and finished the task before
going to the house.
