Elevator Employe Had Close Call at Remingtan.

Hiram A. Pickering, aged about 40 years and an employe of the Kelly Grain Co. at Remington, suffered a painful injury this Tuesday morning when his right hand was caught in* the cogs of the machinery at the elevator. Fortunately the belt shifted and threw the machinery out of gear or it isT probable Pickering would have lost an arm If he had escaped from more serious results. At it is he has two badly mangled fingers. He is an employe of the elevator, is married and has three or four children. •
