LOS ANGELES. July 5.-w. E.
Duffessy, a workman employed in the
construction of the new Braley Build

strength of his overalls, which pre-
vented him from being hurled from
the fourth story of the building.
Duffessy was struck on the head by
a plank dropped by a workman on
the floor above him. He was thrown
down the improvised elevator shaft
headhrst, but after falling to the third
floor his overalls caught on a pro-
truding spike and held him steadfast.
He remained in this position with
his head down until several work
men who witnessed the accident hur-
riedly made their way, with the aid
of rope, to where he was hanging
and hauled him to a place of safety.
