CAUGHT IN COGWHEEL AT CLEANING PLANT

Charles Baker Escaped Injury by Throwing Off Wheel and Thus. Stopping Wringer. Charles Baker, who operates H. B. Tuteur’s dry cleaning plant, had a narrow escape from injury this Wednesday forenoon. He was operating the extractor or wringer that takes the gasoline out of the clothing and his sweater coat was caught in the cogs of the extractor. He was jerked' off the floor and the cogs kept winding up until it was torn from his back. He managed to reach the belt from the engine and throw It out of gear, thus saving himself from serious injury. Aside from a shaking up he was not injured. Mr. Hansen is truly a master of the organ and his work was a revelation in the possibilities of that difficult instrument, the pipe organ.—Matoon, 111. Morning Star. Recital at the Presbyterian church, Friday evening, Oct 25th, 8 p. m. sharp. Admission only 25 cents.
