Kommers of Great Falls, fell from a scaffolding some 65 feet above the ground and received injuries from which he died abour two hours later. The accident occurred about 8:45. Kommers was in the act of strengthen- ing the scaffold, where he and a helper were putting the siding on the build- ing on the end next to the track. He was in the act of driving a second spike through an upright two-by-four when the scantling split and the staging gave way, causing him to lose his balance and fall to the ground, 65 feet - below. He was standing on a plank which fell at the same time and striking the rail- road track, rebounded and hit him in the face. Kommers fell on his back, and when fellow workmen picked him up he was unconscious and apparently lifeless. He was taken to the hotel where Dr. Woodbridge examined him and friends did what they could to re- lieve his suffering. No bones were broken in his limbs but it was said that the ribs were broken lion) the spine, and he was bleeding internally, the blood gradually filling his lungs. He regained consciousness at the hotel and lay in a semi -conscious state until the end.
