THREE WORKMEN INJURED AT

ST. JOSEPH’S.

John Gingrich, carpenter-contrac-tor on St. Joseph’s new buildings, suffered a severe fracture of the left ankle Friday afternoon by being struck with a 2xß joist which fell some fifteen feet and struck him on the ankle while he was kneeling down to drive a stake. A break in such a place is usually very severe and it will probably be several weeks in healing. Saturday afternoon Will Wright, a brick mason, and Henry Nevlll a laborer, were given asevere shaking up when tue scaffold on which they were working broke and dropped them to the ground. The injuries were only slight, however, and both were able to return to work Monday.
