widening of the bridge, and he back-
ed into the fly wheel of the engine
which was pumping water. His
clothes caught in the wheel and it
spun him around, tearing his smock,
shirt and underwear off his body. He
was terribly bruised and badly shak-
en asp, the injuries to the back of his
head, shoulders and back being the
worst.
The fact that Mr. Burk is a big

recover and will be able to be about
as usual very soon.
