Frank Baker Badly Injured. May Re cover. The first person to get seriously hurt in the building operation of the season was Frank Baker who was canght in the machinery shortly after two o’clock on Saturday and before he could be rescued wa* badiy injured. From in dications it »e*m» that Bakers coat •leeve was caught in the engine shaft and he was instantly twisted round and round. When rescued hie arm was in a frightful condition and it was feared that he was injured inwardly. He was removed to tbe hospital and treatment was begnn. By Monday noon an Xray examination was made which showed him to be uninjured internally bnt his erm was broken twice and badly lacer ated. So far as can be learned there was no one to blame for the accident. He just seems to have been unfortunate and as a result must suffer. He was employed by tbe Irish Bros, on the new Lent—Campbell building which is nearing the completion of the concrete work. This is the first serious accident in town cn this years account of baild- ing operations, though thousands of dollars have been spent here during tbe summer and fall past and the fact that so little bad luck haa fallen to the workmen speaks well of tbe cintractors who have done most of tbe work.
