 E. J. Crandall, while at work in his cider mill Friday forenoon, met with an accident that will lay him up for some time. He was in the basement, and on going up through scuttle on a ladder his foot slip ped and his clothing caught on some bolts in 8 shaft coupling, carrying him partially over the shaft, but the belts being little slack they slipped some, which probably saved his life, as MT. Albert Aborn, who was there, held on to one of the pulleys, stopping the machinery as soon as the gate was shut, which was as soon as possible, and Crandall was released from his perilous position with broken and severely lacer- ated arm, as well as badly bruised. He was taken to his home, and Dr. Sweet summoned from Hartford, who soon put the broken bones in place, and he is doing as well or better than could be expected.
