Howard Foulk, formerly tillerman of
the Delaware Truck, met with a sudden
and terrible death. Saturday evening
about 9 o'clock, The lower part of the
so foot ladder of the Delaware Fire Com

turers Elmira. N. Y for repairs.
On Saturday evening the truck was
taken out IN front of the engine house

it thoroughly and found that on one side.
near the bottom, the longest section was
cracked. This side was condemned and
the truck was ordered to be sent away.
After the inspection Foulk started to
climb up the ladder, which had been
raised straight in the air without any
support but the truck beneath He had
nearly reached the top of the ladder aud

ground, when the long section snapped at
TIE crack and was twisted off by its own
weight
he man and ladder fell to the ground
together and struck the cobblestones
with terrible force The large crowd
which had assembled to see the test was
horror stricken and for an instant no one
went for ward to aid the injured man.
Then the men crowded to his assistance.
Drs. q. G.. Patterson and E. Hertel were
called. Foulk's head was badly gashed
and one leg was broken and the bone
spllntered Wilson's ambulance was
summoned and the injured man was
taken to the Delaware Hospital. Here
every comfort was given him but to no
avail and he died at s 80 o'clock.
The committee corroborates the above
story, but say that they warned Foulk
not to go up the ladder, as it was unsafe.
He did not heed the warning.

company and had been tillerman of the
truck. He was 81 years old. His funera
