Carpenter Gets Bad Fall.

L. D. Mauck, the carpenter, got a bad fall Thursday afternoon while ■working on one of A. Leopold’s new houses on Front street. He was standing on a plank placed over the stairway opening, when the plank tipped with him and he fell to the floor below, a distance of nine feet, bruising him up considerably but fortunately breaking no bones. He struck on his right hand, knee and head, and was quite badly stoveup. He was taken to his home at the north side of town in an automobile, and will be unable to work for several days, although he is now able to be up and about. iHis right wrist was quite badly sprained and he is still lame in the injured knee.
