Associate Judge Is Very Near Death
Thomas Shively, Associate Judge of Union County, is very near death as the result of a distressing accident on his farm late Tuesday afternoon two miles south of Mifflinburg. Workmen who were near Mr. Shively at the time of the accident state that he climbed to the top of the silo, in performing light duties, and had descended to a platform some eight feet from the bottom. Stepping from the ladder to the platform, the structure gave way, throwing him to the concrete below.
Medical aid was hurriedly summoned and the injured man was removed to his home, where he is now in an unconscious condition. The exact extent of his injuries has not yet been determined, but it is feared that there is a fracture of the skull. In landing, the man struck on his head.
