JAW BROKEN AS MAN MISSES HIS DEATH BY INCH
Gus Schwantz, an employe of the Spindler Co., missed death by the margin of
less than an inch in a peculiar accident of which he was the victim yesterday
at the grounds at the new Lincoln high school. Schwantz suffered a fractured
lower jaw, severe cuts to his face and will loose(sic) half of his teeth, upper
and lowers, as result of the accident and will be laid up some time.
The accident happened while Schwantz was delivering a load of lime to the high
school work. He was making a delivery in one of the automatic unloading trucks
of the Spindler company in some way, while getting from the truck released the
automatic control and the crank, revolving readily, struck him in the face,
striking the jaw and a second blow just below the temple bone, cutting a hole
in the cheek. Had the blow been an inch higher it would probably have been
death to Schwantz.
Schwantz is about 55 years old. He was taken to the hospital where an X-ray
photograph was taken to determine the extent of his injuries and later teeth
in the injured jaw were removed. Schwantz was able to be removed to his home
but he will be laid up for some time.
