One Man Killed and Another Dangerously

Injured.
Now that the painting season has arrived,
scaffold accidents are becoming numerous

No. 43 Pierson street, which resulted

colored men, were engaged in painting the
house Of Daniel Keith, on the above-men-

of a sudden the strap which encircles the
snatch-block parted anG one end of the scat
fold swung down, throwing both the men
to the pavement below.
Trotter fell on his head and was injured
so badly that lie died in few minutes.
Garret was more fortunate. He struck on
his back, but it is thought that he is in
jured very severely nwardly, which may
cause his death also. He was taken to the
Hospital at once.
Trotter was young man about twenty
years of aye, and resided in East Walnut
Hills. His father, George w. Trotter re-
sides at New Richmond, Ohio.
Garret resides at No. 73 East Seventh
street.
Nobody was to blame for the accident
but Trotter himself for he had the con
