MAN HURT AT
q! q S7ARKWEATHER

A. A. Edelman, a well known far
mer, southeast of town was the vic
tim Monday afternoon Of what might
have been a very serious accident
while helping to erect the frame Of a
windmill on his place. The windmill
had been taken down and some drill
ing done in the well. It was while
putting the frame back together that
the accident occurred.
Some n vas working on the frame
and called MI. Edelman to hand the
screwdriver and while doing so a
brace from above fell striking him on
the right side of the face just below
the eye cutting a very bad cash. If
the brace had hit Mr.. Edelman two in
ches higher it would have penetrated
the eye and might have proven fatal.
Mr.. Edelman was hurried to town
by Abe Hanson in his automobile and
the wound dressed by DR.. Fawcett.
Eleven stitches were necessary to close
it. It was fortunate that the accident
did not prove more serious.-Stark-

In company with a pair of the jol-
Hest Irishmen this state affords, Luke
Conwell and Dennis Owens, we went
out on the road near the James
Daughton home where Mr.. j. E. Macy
and crew are doing the grading for
the county and were surely surprised
to see the fine work that is being
done. The old hill east of the Daugh-
ton home, that has been an eyesore
to this part of the state for years ever
since the laying out of the road. The
bridge contractor, Fred Barrett, put
in large concrete culvert-large
enough for a man to stand erect in
and then the hill was reduced to
decent road grade. Mr.. Macy has GER
tainly the right idea when it comes
to handling dirt. He had just enough
teams to- keep every fellow doing
something all the time and the way
they were cutting down that hill
would make the stories in the Bible
tame affairs. He is a very pleasant
man and his men all go at his bid
ding without word of fault or
grumble. They are certainly earning
their money. He informs us that this
is the hardest job he has ever been
called on to tackle, the clay is SO
tough. If some tile man had that
land he would have a fortune. The
whole force camp and board right on
the job, having a gentleman and his
wife doing the cooking for them. Say
fellows, 1T will do you good to go out
some day and watch them work.
