derlt at Mr.. Gallup's mill are these: A
young man named Paul Proyoncha, aged
fifteen and half years, from Morgan, was
working near a line of counter shafting that
revolved six hundred and fifty times per
minute. How he came to get caught is I'M
known as no one was near him; but cir
cumstances show that set screw that held
collar in its place caught in the sleeve and
wound him around the shaft This shaft
was about three feet from the floor, and the
shipper, piece of hard wood timber three
by four, was about eight inches from the
shaft. Against these, together with the
post on which the shafting hung, or some
OF them, he must have struck at every revo-
luton. 1t is said there was not whole
