Our readers will be sorry to learn of the serious accident that happened
to Charley Offutt, the West Fork timberman, last week. He was chopping
a limb off a tree in the woods on Crummies creek, when his ax caught on
a limb behind him. The ax was jerked out of his hand and fell, the
bit striking him on the head, fracturing his skull. At first it was
thought that he could not recover but later reports indicate that he is
improving and there is a fair chance for his recovery. |
