we're threshing heavy headed wheat.
Hjalmer, who was running the engine,
went on top of the separator to help
push the grain into the feeder, when
in some manner he slipped and was
thrown into the revolving band knives
of the feeder. BY superhuman effort
he managed to pull himself free, but
not until his right leg was badly cut
and bruised. He was hastily placed
in nearby automobile and rushed to
the hospital where he was promptly
cared for by the physicians. Although
very weak from the loss of blood, the

about the face one day last week. With

automobile belonging to George Loos.
The machine had been discarded for
several months and was standing in
the rear of the Loos shop. Some of
the children had matches and were in
vestigating whether there was gaso-
line in the tank when the explosion oc-
Cured. Victor was looking into the
tank and received the full force of the
explosion. His right eye and the whole
right side of his face and head were
badly burned. The sight of the eye
was defective before the accident, but
will be entirely lost now. The little
sufferer was given medical attention
at once, but will not be able to be
about for some time.

them were a number of men driving
hay racks. Mr.. Sherman, another trav-

ahead Of the Very auto frightened
them and they plunged into the ditch,
overturning the rick, which drew Mr.
