FELL THIRTY-EIGHT FEET FROM BROKEN SCAFFOLD BUT NOT INJURED

Fairdale, N. D., Dec. 27.—Despite the fact that he had fallen thirty-eight feet, striking a good-sized plank as he hurled through space, George Sholey, a carpenter, who was working near the top of the new elevator at this place, gained his feet immediately after striking the bottom of one of the bins, and calmly asked "what is wrong," as his fellow workmen hastened toward him.

Sholey was working on one of the scaffolds when it gave way. He turned several somersaults while going through the air, and struck a plank about midway down, breaking it in two. Aside from being quite badly bruised, Sholey suffered no ill effects from his experience. When other laborers had reached the place, Sholey was on his feet an dready {sp} to go ahead with the work. He was forced to take a temporary rest, however.
