LES FRAHMAN GETS BADLY BURNED
SCALDED BY STEAM AND WATER SATURDAY

Latest reports from St. Joseph’s hospital at Marshfield say that the condition of Les Frahman, Owen, is improving. He has been hospitalized since Saturday when he suffered lst and 2nd degree burns to the front of his body from his shoulders down to his legs and third degree burns about his hands.

Frahman is an employee of the North Central Wisconsin Dairymen’s Cooperative and was washing out the vats in their whey plant when the gate hinge on an eight-inch valve broke off allowing a heavy stream of hot water and steam to flush out on him as he was pinned against the wall.

Jerry Boxrucker was at the plant with him at the time of the accident and assisted in getting him aid and to his home where he was checked and treated by Dr. Phillips before being sent to the hospital in the city ambulance.

Sam Nelson, manager of the firm’s whey’s division, said that although Frahman is badly burned he is still fortunate the accident happened when he was flushing out the vat because the water used , isn’t as hot as when the actual operation is underway, nor did it contain the caustic compound used in production.
