AS Leonard Brewster was taking out
sawdust from under the Cotton, Brewster
& Allen mill last Wednesday, he leaned
against loose belt which was around
shaft and the other end on a peg
overhead, the belt immediately wound
around the shaft, drawing his arms
around the pulley, putting his left wrist
out of joint, tearing the ligaments of
from the bone and broke the right arm
above the elbow, the bone coming
through the flesh. Had the belt come
off from the peg, so as to let him revolve
around the shaft, it would have resulted
In instant death, as there was platform
in close connection with the pully. He
is doing as well as can be expected.
