lug room and in fixing some part of
the machinery his coat sleeve be-
came caught IN revolving screw

at once drawn up and into the belts
and whirled around the shaft with
fearful velocity dozen times or
more. The unfortunate man could
do nothing to save himself aud be
was alone in the room at the time.
Fortunately his cries reached the
ears of men working in the next
room and the machinery was stop

Franzen was released he was
pitiable sight. Every stitch of
clothing had been torn from him
and his body was one mass of
bruises, and his right leg was broken
almost at the hip joint. His hand
and arm were badly lacerated. His
rescuers were not a second too soon,
as another revolution of the wheels
would certainly have killed him. 1t

will be permanently disabled. He
is an industrious man, about So years
of age, and has wife and family
