SNAPS RIB
REPAIRING
HARVESTER

The Grady county harvest, thus far,
has not been without its casualties.
Not that any of these casualties car
ry "killed in action" or died from
wounds received in action" columns,
but rather wounded in action, de-
gree undetermined. That's more
like it.
One of hte most serious accidents
that has been reported in Chickasha,
occurred Wednesday on the Wheeler
farm about five miles west of Chick
asha, when j. r Martin, who lives
at Eleventh and Vermont In this city,
suffered a broken rib.
Mr. Martin was driving a binder
for Mr. Wheeler and while engaged
In repair work, was pressing his body
against binder part to push it back
in place, and was using all mis-
strength. The pressure snapped a
rib. 1T popped just like when you
break a dry stick" said Mr. Martin
He was brought to town immediate
ly and given medical attention. Re
ports from the Martin home this
morning state that he is suffering
considerably, but 1t is believed that
there will be no serious results from
the action.
