Workmen Marooned High In Air.

A violent windstorm recently swept across Great Salt lake, and overland tntp Ogden, which It coated with a thin layer of salt. Buildings, pedestrians, sidewalks and automobiles were all “salted” impartially. The only real damage dpne, however, was in the destruction of a 200-foot scaffold around a concrete grain elevator. Six unfortunate workmen, who were on top of a finished part of the elevator, 100 feet in the air, at the time of the collapse, were completely marooned until rescued with extension ladders by the local fire department —Popular Mechanics Magazine.
