Show A Dangerous Roll. H. Engels, an Oakland, Cal., boiler-maker, boiler-maker, met with an experience which nearly cost him his life, while at work inside a 28-inch water pipe. The line of pipe ran along a steep hillside and was held in position by wooden supports. sup-ports. While Engel was riveting two sections together the supports gave way and the section in which he was working started down the hill at a terrific ter-rific speed. It rolled several hundred feet and finally dropped into a ditch in which a stream' of water was running. Engels' companion supposed, of course, that he had been killed, but rushed to the ditch. The in-piped man was taken out alive, but seriously cut and bruised and almost drowned. Detroit News-Tribune. |
