tated and his body otherwise mutilated.
II seems that a number Of pine logs
were hauled up to the yard preparatory
to running them TO the mill to be squar-
ed. Hutchinson and several assistants
were to move the logs and get them in
a position ready to be handled without
much trouble. He was at the end of
one Of the sticks of timber, with his
back toward the saw, Juggling with all
his strength TO remove 1t, when suddenly
he made a lunge and missed his foot
ing. The force of the shock threw him
against the saw blade, and in a second
the saw had done its deadly work. The
employees, horror-stricken at the sight,
could not lend their co-laborer any as
sjstance until he was cut to pieces. As
soon as the saw was stopped the mangled
form of Hutchinson was picked up. The
head\, was entirely severed from the
body.
