About The frontier. (O'Neill City, Holt County, Neb.) 1880-1965 | View Entire Issue (Nov. 10, 1960)
I own five quarter section* of ground some six miles north northeast of Atkinson, Nebraska am a partner on two quarters of ground and am a stockholder erf a corporation that owns two ad ditional Quarters of ground. Thus. I speak tor nine quarter sections of ground in that area I am completely opposed to Federal development of irriga tion in the O'Neill unit. Any patriotic American can see the Federal Government’s pro poaal is totally uneconomic, is certainly not needed In vi» w of OJr gram surpluses and is sim ply a socialistic maneuver on the part of a big bureau of our Fed eral Government to spend the taxpayer's money foolishly. I hope you will find opportun ity to let my views be known. Very truly yours, W. A. Curry l»ear Sirs: Please print this so others won’t have happen to them what happened to me. Last Friday, I, Robert Geary, and my brother-in-law ate an early dinner. We were going to a sandhill pasture to feed cows and then on to start tearing down a barn we had recently acquired. I had been hurt recently tearing down another barn so just before leaving I said to my wife, ‘‘Do you want to come over after awhile and watch me get hurt again?” She said, "You hadn't better get hurt again that way.” 1 loaded a stack and went on over while my brother-in-law brought a pickup When I gut to where I was going to start feed ing I did as I had dune so many bmea before. I put the tractor in low gear, well throttled down. Then taking two forks I went to the back of the rack where I started to climb up on top of the stack That waa mistake number one aa I was directly between the back wheels 1 got about three fourth of the way up the stack when mistake number two came up One fork didn't hold too se cure but I thought it was good enough as I had a fair knee hold But when I went to pull on up both forks came loose and I started to fall. The first thing I thought was I would be run over M when I landed I throw myself sideways, not thinking about a stabbing sensation in my right side. When I landed on the ground clear of the wheel I no ticed one of the pitch forks stick ing out of my side. I grabbed it and with all my strength pulled the tines loose from me. My brother-in-law still hadn’t arrived yet so I got an the tractor and drove it abrmt an eighth of a mile to a yard where we leave the tractor and rack when we don't entirely unload it. Just before getting there I saw my brother-in-law coming with j the truck so I motioned for him I to hurry and open the gate. He did and as I drove in I told him I had just run a fork into my self. He hurried and got me into the truck and rushed me to 0’ N( ill to the hospital. They oper ated and found I was luckier than I deserved to be as the tines didn’t do any internal injuries. One tine hit the hip bone and J bent, glancing off and swinging the tines upward so they followed the stomach muscles. -1 Now I hope other* will take heed at my accident and maybe not come out unlock ler than ] did.
