Lawrence Deluney is clearly very happy after getting unstuck from the stove pipe at his house at 3102 Harriet Avenue South.
On August 14, 1940, Lawrence had been having a fun time watching his father take the pipe off the stove in the picture.
Suddenly, Lawrence backed up to the stove and somehow got his head jammed into the opening.
The Minneapolis Police Department was called and officers were able to free Lawrence.
