Val. Wolf, son of Peter Wolf, met
with an accident which near cost his
| life while engaged in cutting the hay
between the snow fences which the C..
NJ. g. st. P. take the liberty to place ON
VOLTS land. The section foreman with
his gasoline car came along at full
speed without needing the child's
warning, the car passing without stop
ping to look into the nature OF the Sc
robustness of the accident. The bog.
was thrown under the mower. Fortu-
nately the tongue broke, the broken
part entering the ground, oyerturning
the machine, freeing the boy and the
horses. After the boy regained ton-
seriousness he was unable to arise on
account of internal suffering. Al
though yet badly bruised up, Val is
able to be about. and Peter had the
pleasure to purchase new mower.
