Scaffol Broke
Robert Reed and Gay Allen were victims of an accident
Wednesday morning which fortunately did not have any serious results, although
Mr. Allen will nurse several sore spots for some time. The gentlemen were
engaged in constructing an automobile shed for the use of Dr. Dolan, upon the
rear of his lot at his residence. The structure had reached the point where the
carpenters were putting on the roof, and while thus engaged, the nails holding
the scaffold upon which they were standing gave way, precipitating them to the
ground, about eight feet below. Mr. Reed landed in the soft earth, and escaped
injury, but Mr. Allen was not so fortunate. He fell in such a manner that he
landed on his back upon a small pile of lumber, which struck just over the
kidneys, rendering him unconscious for about five minutes.
He was assisted to the house upon his recovery and when the
reporter called on him was seated in a rocking chair, and expressed himself as
felling pretty sore. He was able to resume work, however, the next day,
handicapped of course by the soreness which would naturally follow an injury of
the character received.
