 While Frank Smith, Lawrence Hansen, Edward Huden and John Squires were at work on a staging. early last Thursday afternoon, paint ing the old Middle River Manufactur. ing company's boarding house, stag ing hook gave away, casting them to the ground something like 12 feet below. Smith landed on the stone steps and suffered very severe 'bruising about the back, that has kept him in his home since. Hansen fell through the cellar hatch way, the slanting door entirely, and landing on the stone stairway. At first, it was thought that he had fractured several ribs, but it was found, that beyond badly bruised side, no bones were broken. It is marvel that Mr. Hansen escaped as he did, and although, at present, he is the worst off of all it is expected that he will shortly be able to resume his work Huden in falling caught his foot in such wise as to wrench his ankle, but it is rapidly becoming we'll. Young Squires escaped unhurt. Contractor Arthur Snow, by whom the men are employed, attributes the accident to the fact that too much weight was brought to bear on the hook, as the clean break eliminates any possible entertainment of defect.
