uiiy uildtag Taitloa Jess Demaris Crushed by a Big Log Monday Jess Demaris, who wa3 at work at the Barney sawmill on Mill creek had a narrow escape from being crushed under a big log last Mon day noon. The logs for the mill are cut on the near-by mountains and then placed in a schute which conveys them to the mill. This schute is 21S0 feet long and it takes a log just eleven seconds to make the journey dry shod. Monday the schute got wet and the descent of the log was terrific. It shot the schute with such force that when the log struck the curve that turns at the mill into the pond the log" left the schute and struck the mill. The shock upended it and it fell up on Demaris. The bones of one leg were broken and protruded through the skin. One of the bones of his left arm was broken. One of his ribs was dislocated and his left shoulder was severely wrenched. Its a wonder the man wasn't killed. Dr . Edwards was called and has had the man moved to town. It is not thought his injuries will prove fatal. Big Metolius Warehouse and Flouring Mill C. L.
