Minn., March lS.-John Whlttaker, owner of a sawmill, walked a half-mile from his mill to his home with a piece of scantling three feet long stick-big stick-big through his side. At the time of the accident he was operating his mill and the scantling was thrown against the circular cir-cular saw and hurled back against him, the end striking him above the third rib and completely piercing his side.
