d. E. Nicholson, OF the White
water section, was in Walhalla for n
while last Friday. This was his first
visit here In about two months. he
having been confined to his home by
reason OF an accident that came very
near being quite serious. Mr.. Mich
olson was digging cellar at his
home in the mountains. At the time
of the accident he was in stooping
position, in the act of placing brace
IN the cellar to prevent the caving OF
the dirt, and large quantity Of clay
caved In on him, completely covering
him. Fortunately two of his boys
were working in the cellar at the
time, and they at once began the
work Of rescuing their father. He
was dug out from under the pile Of
clay, not seriously hurt, but BADLY
damaged" by reason Of the great
weight OF clay that covered him in
his uncomfortable position. Added
to his discomforts was the fact that
In digging him out one Of the boys
struck his foot with his shovel or
pick, from which hurt Mr.. Nicholson
still limps. He considers himself
very fortunate, however, in that his
boys were present to give immediate
aid.
