AXEL JOHNSON
BADLY INJURED
Axel Johnson, millwright for the
Bonners Ferry Lumber Company, is
at the Bonners Ferry hospital suffer
ing from three broken ribs on the left
side and many severe bruises and
sprains which he received in an ac
cident at the mill Friday afternoon.
Mr. Johnson was tightening a bolt
en the pulley above the wood
when his wrench slipped and he was
thrown onto the pulley belt. He was
hurled around the pulley several
times and nearly all his clothing was
torn frpm him. From the pulley he
fell into the conveyor which carries
wood to the big mill burner. The
whirling he received on the pulley
rendered him unconscious and he was
carried a considerable distance in the
conveyor before he realized his pre
dtcament and Was able to crawl out
and save himself from being carried
into the hot furnace. It was some!lor
time before he was able to summon
help as no one was about or saw the
accident.
Mr. Johnson's left arm is badly
burned and his right hip and leg is
severely bruised and he has many
bad bruises all over his body.
It is considered miraculous that he
escaped with his life and if he had
not regained consciousness when he
did he would surely have been burned
to death In the burner tor there was
nothing to save his body from being
carried into the pit
