Tuesday forenoon while assisting in repairing a mill on his farm north of town, a large casting fell from the top of the tower, striking Mr. Trimpey on the head, fracturing the skull and breaking his collar bone. A physician was hurriedly summoned, and the injured man was taken to a hospital in McCook where he has not shown much signs of improvement. The latest reports state that he becomes rational at times and soon lapse back into a state of unconsciousness. The accident happened on the place occupied by Louis Trimpey. Workmen were in the act of taking the old mill down, and Mr. Trimpey was working around the tower at the base. He was cautioned about the danger, and the warning had not much more than been given till a large casting broke loose and fell with terrific force. It is estimated that the casting weighed about 300 lbs. The doctors at the hospital hold but very little hope for his recovery. His age and the nature of the injury are against him.
