A bolt stuck out of the pole about two inches and when his head hit the pole, the end of the bolt pene trated his cheek, running up under one of his eves, puncturing the tear duct. His hip was badly bruised, but nothing serious. Dr. M. I. Thomas was called and gave first aid so he could be taken to Lincoln on the afternoon train to a hospita!. The dull bolt made a bad wound and there is some likelihood cf infec tion, added to the seriousness of the injury. Late reports from the hospital say John is feeling fine.

Officials say there is no imme diate danger there, but the channel must be kept clear.
