TIE other morning as they were prepar-
ing to draw malt to the third floor in
Hubach's brewery, Tiffin, Herman Ufer, the
foreman, went up to fix the rope, saying
that it looked as though it was coming
loose. He grasped it, and with his weight
upon it, the rope gave way, and precipitated
him through the open hatchways to the
first floor, forty-five feet below. Three
sacks of malt lying where he fell, and the

killed. The bones in his left foot were
badly broken and crushed, and the right
considerably bruised, otherwise he is not
much injured, and hopes are entertained OF
his speedy recovery.
