his shoulder was injured and he
was otherwise badly bruised.
Jim Wilke had his face cut about

John Timm and Otto Wendall,
two young men employed at the
plant of the DUPONT company at
Barksdale, were quite severely
injured last Friday afternoon
when a large tank which they
were unloading, slipped from the
blocking, rolling upon them.
That both men were not killed is
considered a miracle.
Timm and Wendall, together
with other workmen, were en-
gagged in unloading the large
tank from the gondola car. The
tank was set upon jacks and
blocking and was being moved
from the car. Timm was work
Immediately under the tank when
it slipped from the jacks and
rolled upon him. Had it not
been for some obstruction in the
way Timm would have had his
life crushed out, but as it was he
was rolled into the soft earth un-
der the tank. He was quite bad
ly squeezed and had to be dug
out from under the tank.
Wendal was struck by the tank
and was badly bruised about the
face and head. Both men were
taken to the hospital at Ashland
where they are now recovering
from their hurts.
When the accident occurred a
report was current about the
city to the effect that both men
had been killed.

addition to the men working on

that they had to double up on
the grade to the plant and COM
