crashing into the left breast of the unfortu-
nate nun, cutting Il fearful cash just in front
OF the left shoulder blade, from which he
bled TO death III about fifteen minutes. The pa
troll wagonwas summoned Oytelephoue as soon
as the accident occurred. and accompanied
by d b. j. Merrill, went at once to the mill,
but life was extinct before their arrival, and
all that could be done was TO convey the re-
mains to the city, where they were taken to
the undertaking rooms of Mueller & Spindel
to be prepared for interment. The

him. and Il clot of blood forming in it, de-
sJroyed the sight entirely, and now comes the
accident wlich ends his career. He leaves
daughter - years OF age, who works at the
Central house, and wife and three smaller
children at nome. The mill where the poor
