Celina Ohio. While James Lewis and
Tom johnson were running threshing

bands at the time, and claimed the act was
accidental. johnson would listen to no
explanation, however, and rushed at Lewis
striking him terrible blow in the face
Lewis fell like a log directly under the cylin-
er of the machine, and before he could be
drawn away or the threshing machine stop
ped, he was drawn between the cylinders,
and his head and body ground to a pulp
before the terror-stricken men. Frank
Lewis brother of James was standing. by,
an eyewitness to the affair, and when he
saw his brother killed in this shocking
manner he made dash for a pitchfork
near by, and before he could be restrained
he plunged the fork into Johnson's bowls,
killing him almost instantly. Lewis has
been arrested.

mentioned at the showl The sum ofmoney
put into newspaper advertising would be
of incalculable more benefit.-E1-
