SPINE BROKEN
IN FALL FROM
LADDER; DIES
George Knapp Succumbs
to Injuries Sustained
At Heberlein Farm.

Threshing operations were in pro-
cess at the farm of Fred Heberlein,
4 miles east of town last Tuesday
when an accident befell Geo Knapp,
GO, this city, who was working on the
straw stack, which finally cost him
his life. The elderly gentleman died
Saturday afternoon from compound
fracture of the spine, sustained in
falling from the straw stack.
An extension ladder, inclined
against the straw, was used for the
convenience of those employed on the
stack.
Mr.. Knapp in preparing to descend
for a drink of water was attempting
to change the position of the upper
extension The clutch failed to catch
as he expected. The pull Of the dead
weight in its descent caused Mr..
Knapp to lose his balance and he was
precipitated to the ground, distance
of perhaps twenty-five feet. The i'm
pact was terrific.
Failure to respond to first aid sat
isfactorily, he was Immediately taken
to the Godfrey hospital in this city
where examination disclosed the frac-
ture as the major injury. His body
was paralyzed from the waist down.
The nature of the injury and the
fact that it was profound forestalled
conclusive efforts for or hope of per-
manent relief.
1t was simply a matter of how long
the vitality for one of his years would
sustain him following reaction from
the shock.
Mr.. Knapp, who was widely known
in Grant county, was pioneer farm
er of Southwestern Wisconsin, He
first started farming operations at
Klondike Spring. later moving to a
farm in Rogers Hollow, three miles
southeast of Fennimore.
What was at that early date more
or less venture in agriculture he
made, by thrift and industry, sue
cessful reality. 1t was there his chill
dren grew to maturity, and continued
to be his home until six years ago,
when the family moved to farm he
had purchased on the Liberty road, 5
miles north of this city. Mr.. Knapp
worked this place until last year when
he and Mrs. Knapp retired, and made
their home in Lancaster. His son,
Roy, is farming the home place this
year
Of the immediate family of Mr..
Knapp, a son, Roy, one daughter, Mrs.
Roy Bennett, living in Little Grant,
and the widow survive. A number of
other relatives and many friends also
feel with a poignant sense of regret
the tragic passing of a good man.
Funeral services, following a brief
service at the home. were attended by
a large number at the Congregational
church Monday at 2:30 p. m. The body
was bestowed at Hillside cemetery.

Canning Company to Begin
Canning Corn This Week

This fine growing weather has put
the Lancaster Canning company con
the fence" literally. All was set to
open the corn campaign on last Mon
day, August "a, but Joe Casper, man
ager, made a visit to a half dozen
corn fields last week Wednesday. He
found the corn coming on fine, only it
was growing, not maturing. The same
complaint of many farmers as applied
to field corn, is true of Stowell's ev-
ergreen.
early next week, I feel sure, will
see the beginning of our corn pack"
said Mr. Caspers, last Thursday. He
was busy enough with putting the fin
ishing touches on repairs to machin-
cry. The factory is as clean as a new
top. So if you farmers who are bring
ing on a field of sweet corn hear the
telephone ring, hustle to answer-it
may be call for big long ears of
green corn. The crop is large and the
ears are plenty.
For the pea pack it may be said that
it was not record for quantity About
10000 cases. Good in quality, however.
