McIndoes,
William Streeter was the victim of a
shocking and perhaps fatal accident at
Van Dykes mill at McIndoes, Tuesday.
Some time after six in the morning he
went down under the mill to oil the ma
chinery. In some unexplained way-the
victim himself does not know exactly how
it happened-he was caught in the gear
ing and both legs were dreadfully crush
ed. The gearing turns fifty tons of ma
chinery and its teeth are eight inches
wide, and a man would make no more
impression on it than a fly. Both of the
unfortunate mans feet were ground off
and one leg was dreadfully lacerated clear
up to the thigh 1t was half an hour be-
fore his situation was discovered, and il
was then a task of some labor and time
to get him out AS the gearing is some
three or four feet from the ground,
Streeter must have been standing on il
when the accident happened. A council
of physicians was called and they decid-
ed that amputation was necessary; and
both legs were amputated below the knee.
