The Death OF Maurice welch.


Tho third witness examined In the ip-
was Orrin ID. burlington. a carp.nter on
the building who saw the accident, and
corroberated the statement that the east
ruy slipped through the clamp. This
witness had never seen this kind OF
clamp used ona derrick before, He thinks
they might be safe enough IL fastened Sc
curely. He thought the derrick boom
had been swung farther out toward the
west hen the accident occurred than IL
had been before, thus bringing. more
strain on the east guy. lie thought the
load at the time was about ton and
half.
Several other witnesses were examined,
the only one bringing out anyt hing OF
Importance being John j. Germaine, who
put up the derrick as 1t Is now being used.
and who considers 1t was not put up
properly before. He thought that instead
side by side and the clamps put on, the
ends should have been bent and run
through n clevis and then the clamps put
on, which would have made 1t safe.
Coroner jerks will reserve his decision
for the present In the hope OF obtaining
additional witnesses.

look at the children who were admitted

from Canada recently and secured em-
ployment in local mill. An eruption
was noticed on the children and the ma
tron sent for physician on the belief
that they were cases OF chicken pox. The
