A frigbtful accident occurred about

ployee named Pierce Gantz was en-
gagged in killing hogs, and stood upon

n. ais were plunged when killed to IA
eilitate the work of cleaning. An
enormous fat hog that was being
butchered died very hard, and In its
final struggle gave Gantz q kick, which
knocked him directly into the vat Of
boiling water. His shrieks were blood
cnrdling, and several fellow work men
who ran to his assistance experienced
considerable trouble In getting him
out, owing to his agonized struggles.
When finally drawn upon the platform
he presented frightfni picture Of boil

gentleman ventured to ask him ( he

Hayes would formally recognize either

how he could recognize Nichols with
