CUT FOOTWITH AX - Irvin Pagel of Spruce Injured near Mountain. Irvin Pagel of Spruce 
cut his foot very badly last Friday morning in one of the camps about 7 miles out from 
Mountain. He had been working for about a month at the camp for Christ Rasmussen 
but on Friday morning the first swing of the axe missed the tree and landed on his
foot, the entire width of the blade entering the top and passing nearly
through his foot. He was brought into Mountain where his wound was dressed
by Dr. Conrad. This was Mr. Pagel's third winter in the woods and he has
been unfortunate each winter in having his work stopped. The first year he
had pneumonia soon after he started work, the second a felon and the third
this accident.
