The Lewistown Gazette, Is, says
Timothy Sweeney, ax inspector in the en-
ploy of William Mann, Jr.. s. Co., Of the
lower az factory, met with q shocking
death about 10 o'clock en- Wednesday
morning last. In company with earpsn>
ter u. II. Bell he had gone below to the
grinding shop 10 fix some portion OF the
betting that seemed to be disArranged. In
reaching forward to adjust it Mr.. Swee-
ey's clothing was caught by . screw in
the shafting that was flying around at the
rate Of l06 revolutions per minute. he
was inextricably entangled, and was
whirled in a circle for probably $50 times.
His feet and body struck the floor over
head with every turn Of the screw, and
they were frightfully mangled. A deep
indentation in his left temple led 10 the
belief tha. his head must also have struck
one of the heavy beams. When the ma
chinery was finally stopped the clothing
had to be cut from his person. The de-
ceased was Al years old, married man
and the father ofsiK children. Mr.. Ii. had
5000 life insurance.
