escape from being decaritated last

his sickle using the gasoline engine

the sickle was caught in the belt
and was thrown violently to his neck

great that in striking the granary on
the rebound a larg epiece was cut
off. Mr.. Jennissen escaped miracul-
ously with only few scratches on his
neck to give evidence of the occur
renee. How it happened that the in
