The Gardiner Journal says Mr.. Frank Serb
ner on Saturday, while drilling holes in wa
ter-wheel with an upright shaft, making some
100 revolutions a minute, while reaching round
the shaft got his shirt caught in set-screw on
the shaft, and was carried around it, or rather
it wound his arm and body around 1.-THE shaft
several times. He caught his hand in the wheel
he was boring, and held on with such grasp
as to slip the belt on the pulley. 1t tore the
sleeve out of his frOck and WOODEN shirt, but he
escaped without any broken bones, though
badly strained and bruised. 1t was an almost

was drawn into the rolls "Pn let it pull my
arm out he thought to himself, but as the
| merciless machinery pulled at the stout mus
cles and tendons, Mr.. G. found that his arm
would not pull off without breaking his neck.
just think of such situation for man to be
in! Coolly submitting to his fate he turned his
head over on the side to save his nose, and
through the space of about four inches he was
drawn to his hips. He says as the rolls passed
over his head it made a noise like grinding cof-
fee in mill, and that's the last he remembers.
The blood spirited from his eyes, ears and mouth
so as to go on to the dryer, twelve feet distant.
He was taken up for dead, but strange to say,
he is now about the street. The space he went
through was about four inches, we are told, but
the upper roll could rise little by what give
there was to an 80-inch felt 1t hardly seems
possible that any man could 60 through that
space and live. -. .-.-- ls
