NARROW ESCAPE SERIOUS ACCIDENT

 

Harrie Teaboldt, of the Washtenaw Light & Power Co., while wiring in the new annex at the rear of Brogan's, Tuesday afternoon fell from the ladder on which he was standing and came near doing something serious. The ladder slipped and Mr. Teaboldt was lunged forward, saving himself a fall of thirty feet from the roof to the basement, by getting entangled midway in the wire which hung from the ceiling.

  Coroner Watts was on the spot to attend to anything fatal, but Mr. Teaboldt picked himself up from the brink of the cellar with nothing worse than a bruised arm and ten minutes of time wasted.
