WHITTAKER'S PLUCK

Walks Half a Mile With a Scantling Among His Ribs.

Sandstone, Minn., March 20.—John Whittaker walked half a mile from his mill to his home with a piece of scantling three feet long sticking through his side. The scantling was thrown against a circular saw and hurled back against him, the end striking him above the third rib and piercing his side, without fatal results.
