SHOCKING ACCIDENTAL little
past two o'clock Tuesday afternoon
sad and shocking accident occurred
at the lumber mills of Burbank &
Williams, by which five years old
son of Joseph Saucier was instantly
killed. At about that time the water
wheel running the clapboard and
single machinery suddenly stopped
and one of the workmen was sent
to ascertain the cause of the trouble.
A hasty examination revealed the
horrible fact that the body of child
was imbedded in the wheel, though
the remains were far past recognition,
so terribly and completely had the
cruel mangling been done. Mr..
Saucier instinctively OWNED it was
his own son, and it so proved. 1t
was found impossible to remove the
body from the wheel without great
difficulty, and not until the water was
drawn from the fume and the wheel
raised bodily from its position. DIR.
Branch was at once called, and per-
formed the delicate and only remain
ing duty in his power, that of restor-
ing as far as possible the normal
condition of the facial features. The
skull was found to be cut in twain,
the neck was severed as with a razor
from the body, and was only held in
place by few remaining muscles at
the back part, while the limbs were
ground almost to jelly. Lifeless
and lacerated the body of the child
was borne by the Mortified parent to
its former home where the grief
stricken mother received it almost
frantically. The child, it is said,
was at play about the fume early in
the afternoon, and it is thought, by a
mistep fell into the water where it
was carried quickly down to death in
the swiftly revolving wheel, being
pulled at the fatal instant through an
aperature not exceeding five inches
square. The stricken parents are
comparative strangers in the place,
having moved here only last spring,
and have the fullest sympathy of the
entire community. The remains were
taken on Wednesday to Stanstead,
Que, for interment.
