Gets a Bad Fall
Will Thompson, who resides on the Oliver & Madison farm,
was badly injured Tuesday by a fall of about eight feet. On the farm is a large
rendering kettle used in the manufacture of lard and a platform surrounds it,
being built about eight feet from the ground. While at work on this platform Mr.
Thompson slipped and fell to the ground below with sufficient force to render
him unconscious, in which condition he was found by his young son.
The son gave the alarm and his father was carried to the
house and a physician summoned. In the meantime Mr. Thompson had regained
consciousness, but was unable to tell how long he had lain on the ground before
his condition was discovered. When the physician arrived he was suffering great
pain internally, and afterwards began to vomit small particles of blood clot,
and there is danger of internal injuries of a serious nature. At this writing,
however, nothing definite can be stated regarding the extent of his injuries.
