Last Tuesday morning about
10 o'clock II. Max, contractor
for repairing the floor and shelly
ing in the X. Il. Walker building.
occupied by y. Eldridge's large
department store, met with a
serious accident. Mr.. Max was
working in the middle section Of
the dry goods department and
was under the long shelving on
the right side lacking up the
wall preparing TO have a brick
foundation put in and was about
finished when the long shelving,
which was held up by being
nailed to strips from the ceiling,
pulled loose and fell 10 the floor.
Mr.. Max realizing that he would
be caught underneath, tried to
hold the shelving OFF himself,
but the weight was too great
and it caught his right leg in the
fall and it was broken in three
places between knee and ankle;
his back was also hurt by the
strain. In falling out space of
two feet or more was left be-
tween the wall and shelving and
Mr.. Max threw himself close to
the wall, thus saving himself
from more serious injuries. He
was able to get out. The floor
being concreted was why the
shelving had to be held up from
the ceiling. The injured man
was taken to his home in the
north Suburbe, where his broken
limb was treated by Dr. Moseley
and he was given all attention
possible by some w O. W., as
Mr.. Max is n past G.. G. and held
other positions in the Camp, and
always a faithful member. Mrs.
Max and children were visiting
her parents near Marietta, they
were phoned of the accident and
reached here at nine O'Clock that
night, coming by way of Lanier
and from there by Mr.. Dodd s
motor car.
II was bad accident and all
regret it, none more than Mr.. X.
b. Walker the owner of the build
ing, but hope that Mr.. Max will
have us speedy recovery as
possible. The broken limb can
not be put in plaster paris cast
until several days.
