A CLOSE CALL

Might Have Resulted in Death

Erwin O. Frihart has occasion to thank Providence that he is still in the land of the living even though he is bruised and cut somewhat about the head.

Monday morning while working in his mill, (the old Warren mill in Maple Grove) his clothing got caught in the shafting and drawn around it. If the clothing had not given away and been stripped from his back, he would have been wound around the shaft and probably killed. As it was he was bruised and his back wrenched and his scalp cut in several places. He had a very fortunate escape from more serious injury.
