Charlie Groder, lad employed in the
Coburn Wooden Mills, had a narrow
escape from being iammed to death on
Thursday last, by being caught between
the lift of the elevator upon which he
was riding and the floor above. 1t was
only the timely assistance of John Rily,
who saw the accident and stopped the
elevator, that saved the boys life, and
as it was it is reported he was dragged
through space only five inches in
length. The injuries sustained were a
broken shoulder, while his collar bone
was broken in three places. We are in
formed that the company have notices
posted cautioning the help against rid
ing on the elevators, and this is not the
first time, by any means, such cautions
have gone unheeded, with almost fatal
results.
