terrible accident occurred few minutes
before IL N. yesterday at j. s. Anderson q
Co.'S sawrnill, just across the lake from this
CITY. At that hour. while the mill was under
full motion. the rope by which the fuel car
rage is moved suddenly parted, and the head
sawyer being unable to reverse the motion,
the heavy carriage, with it's load upon 1t.
passed on beyond its usual bounds, and
catching two OF the laborers, Charles Johnson
and Jacob LAnga, crushed them against the
bulkhead at the end OF the track. Langa, no
! resides on South Main street, below the Omaha
depot had his left leg broken below the knee
! and was somewhat bruised besides, but was
! conveyed home and well cared for, and
will doubtless be around again soon.
! johnson sustained a rightful compound
fracture OF the right Leg the bone protruding
from the flesh. He was conveyed TO the city
hospital and DR.. Merrill, who accompanied
him, reports him as very badly Frustrated by
the conclusion and entertains grave DOUBTS
about the pOSsi biity of saving the leg, al
though every effort viii be made to DO SO.
This is the only accident at this mill during
the season, and was simply one o, those un-
avoidable ones where no blame attaches To
any one. Had the men been aware OF the
break they had time enough to have escaped,
but from seeing the carriage approach SO
near them again and again and then recede,
they took no pains to get out OF It's way until
they were caught and crushed.
