GLuSE CALL
Fai Thayer W js Caught Between Engine ard
Separator and Nearty Crashed
!e Death
Fax Thayer hn<l a very narrow escape
from being erushetl to death I an I 'atur-
day evening on the John Chytil farm.
Fax is engineer of a threshing machine
engine and had just atop|>ed and un­
coupled the engine from the seperiktor
preparatory for wetting. He forgot
that the engine wiu reverted and when
he opened the throttle expecting to
pull away he was caught between the
engine and separator and badly bruised
about the hi|>s and alse Severely burn­
ed by lining pressed againat the boiler.
It was thought at first that he was
fataly injured but h. v
w- .« i- t.
ait up and move about a little. It was
a very cion«- call and had he Iren a
much larger built man or had the
distance between engine and aeperator
been an inch or two less the accident
would have proved fatal.

Improved fast freight service has

The value of ex|icrimriital farms to

Agricultural College. Wheat grown on
