Wabash, Indiana
Construction Accident
July 13, 1912
Wabash, Ind., July 13. --
Charles
Bash, a carpenter living here is suffering from
serious injuries received by falling from the
wall of a building being erected n the downtown
district but despite the seriousness of his
condition he expects to recover and says that
the third accident in succession is no "bogy" to
him. Several months ago he was caught by a
falling tree and was held pinned to the ground
for three hours before he was found. His
right hip was crushed and he was otherwise hurt.
No sooner had he recovered than he was kicked in
the face by a mule and seriously hurt.
Then came today's mishap, which resulted in a
broken arm and other injuries.
