His ....... arm entangled with the power take- off and he was thrown violently and his arm broken in three place». In addition the muscles were pulled from his shoulder so bad- ly that it was thought for a day two that he mi«ht ,ose his arm. This possibilitity has been removed by now and it is thought that he will regain much use of the injured arm. The spray outfit was iteing pulled and powered by a tractor and although the take-off uni- versals were shielded his clothing became caught to cause the accl- dent. Mr. Helds is well known as a steward at the county fair, is a committee chairman for t h e w heat league and well known so clally in the north end of the county.
