Fall Injuries At Davis Hopkins Yard Kill Another Worker

Charles A Johnson of 804 North First Street is between life and death with a broken back and internal injuries at Spring Valley hospital. John T Johnson fell to his death at the tent of the huge concrete tanks during work on the same project. The accident occurred around 8 20 Tuesday morning amid wet surroundings and a frame chute between tanks. Witnesses, including Jake Lafferty and George Huffstodt, rushed to assist, with Dr Barrett and Dr Franklin treating the injured.
