Sickle.

Special to Times Republican.
Boone, Sept. 5.-Fred Nelson. a
young man who resides here with his
parents, experienced an almost mirac-
ulous escape from death while operat-
ing moving machine.
Mr. Nelson had been bothered con-
siderably by turkey, which persisted
in getting in front of the mower. Tired
of being forced to stop for the fowl.
the team was halted, and MIR. Nelson
alighted, with the intention of driving
the fowl from the field. The team
started, and finding there was no one
behind them, began to run. Mr.. Mel
son. forgetting the keen sickle in the
rear, ran to the horses heads, and
was dragged considerable distance,
finally in front of the sickle.
The rapid movement of the mower
over rough ground, had caused the
sickle to bounce in the air, almost q
foot from it's natural position, where
it had been caught and held. conse-
quently when it reached Mr.. Nelson,
it was too high to catch him squarely.
The guards penetrated the flesh all
most two inches in the small of the
back, the sickle gashed one of his
arms. and he received other scratches
and bruises, but none of severe ma
ture
Had the sickle been in it's regular
position when 1t struck. his body
would undoubtedly have been cut to
pieces, or had the guards penetrated
the spinal cord. he would certainly
have received fatal injuries. AS it is, he
is recovering nicely and will be able
to be UP again soon.
