Bath, June Pa fatal accident occurred
Contractor James E. Haley, under whose
supervision the carpenter work was being
done, was standing on the second floor
when one'of the enormously heavy floor
timbers fell from the story above, striking
him with crushing force in the left side.
The injured man was removed to his home,
but his death was instantaneous, the skill
of DR.. E. M. Fuller being of no avail. Mr..
Haley has been life long resident of Bath,
and has done an enormous amount of build
ing. The new theatre and YIN. c. A. blocks
was his last undertaking prior to building
the unfinished Sagadahoc block on the site
of the burned hotel. He was man re-
spected by all in his business and private
life, one Of the first members of Winter
Street Congregational church, and citizen
whose loss will be keenly felt. He leaves a
widow but no children. Two sisters also
survive him. His age was 70 years, smonths.
Mr.. Haley was alone at the time of his
death. The timber must have been left on
the top of the partition in such a position
that the slightest jar was sufficient to re-
lease it with fatal results.
The class of '94, Bath High school, held
a largely attended reception tonight at the
Alameda. Wilson'S orchestra of Auburn,
furnished music.
The official trial spin of the City of Lowell
