in taking down the big elm tree In front
of the Dr. Wheaton estate, fell to the
ground from one of the limbs, a distance
of about thirty feet, receiving injuries
from which he died In about half an
hour.
The large limbs had all been removed
from the tree and the work Of taking the
trunk down was going on mt the time OF
the accident. The trunk had been sawed
part way through and rope and tackle
rugged so as to pull It over into the yard.
The strain upon the rope broke It and Mr..
Hayden went up into the tree to readjust
it. He had fixed the rope and a fellow
started up a ladder to hand him line.
when he suddenly fell to the sidewalk.
He struck upon his head and shoulder,
and did not regain consciousness. 1t Is
thought that he became faint or dizzy
from the fact that he had such a feeling
the day before aud was forced to come
down for while.
DIR. True, who was summoned, said
that the mans skull was fractured at the
base and that very likely his neck was
broken. He leaves wife and two or
three children.
