which runs the main saw. When it
burst the pully wheel was making 500
revolutions per minute, and as it burst,
large piece struck a man named Syl
vester Bates, striking him just above the
knee joint, breaking and mangling it
badly. Another piece struck a man on
the hip, injuring him somewhat. twas
a narrow escape for both men. The
breakdown will naturally suspend bust
ness operations for few days.
MENAsaA Press: The project of build
ing a street railroad from the Central
depot to Neenah is being agitated. Ne
nah is, of course, favorable to the project,
as are also some parties in this city. If
our city or citizens have money toinvest
in any public enterprise, there are those
which would be of vastly more benefit to
this city than a street railway. This
city has lost thousands of dollars by poor
roads, and we continue to suffer. An
investment in improving the condition
of our roads would pay this city better
than anything else.

the train and he was knocked off his seat
under the cars and six passed over him.
The injuries were fatal.
