Falls From Scaffold Breaks Leg On Monday
Louis Stemmler and Chas Toerner worked on a scaffold at the new American office building when it collapsed 7 to 8 feet from the floor. Stemmler broke his right leg below the knee as he could not control the fall. Dr. Gibson treated him and he was taken home to mend. Stemmler has a history of broken bones from dangerous carpentry work. The Epworth League hosted a program at the German M E church with music and readings by Shelbyville guests. Roy Freeland bought sixty two cents worth of horse meat, and a local man won a pony raffle after a prior bet. The Ladies Auxiliary inducted thirteen members at Nickel Ball and a May meeting followed. Norton Winsger and Sheriff Bultman’s son Forrest visited for grand jury witnesses. Seventeen witnesses testified daily in the Brown murder case.
