Yesterday afternoon a very narrow
and remarkable escape from death
was experienced by James Nelson.
employed as lineman by the Palisade
Electric Light company. Nelson was
working on the top of pole. He
was held to the pole by body strap
similar to those worn by all linemen.
Nelson is a heavy man and suddenly
the belt snapped and Nelson fell
backward to the ground, a distance
of about 20 feet. Fortunately he
struck on his back in an ash heap and
the force of the fall was broken by
the soft ashes. AS it was he was
badly shaken and will not be able to
be out for several days but no bones
were broken. Had Nelson struck the
hard ground he would doubtless have
been fatally injured. He had been
| warned several times not to put to
his weight.
