Joseph Saucer, met with an accident
that came near proving fatal. In
trying to run on belt underneath
the mill somehow his clothing caught
in the machinery, drawing him up
and around the main shaft. The
mill was instantly stopped, but some
one at work in the upper part, not
knowing what had happened, raised
the gate, when he fell from the shaft.
He was taken up in an insensible
condition, his clothes being literally
torn from his body and he was badly
bruised. Medical aid was at once
summoned, and it is thought he will
recover.
