A serious accident occurred at the
boiler room of the Monroe. Packard &
Linscott shoe shop in Auburn, Friday
morning. Mr.. L. P. Fuller, 29 years old,
who lives with his mother in Auburn,
has been employed as engineer in the
absence of the regular man. He is
shoe maker by trade, and has always
worked at it till this month he has
been in the boiler ROOM He went along
to a pulley and put his hand on it to
see if it was hot. There was a small
bolt sticking out of it, and this caught
the inside of his hand and laid it open,
at the same time pulling him down to
the pulley so that his face and jaw
were. The blow broke his jaw and cut
a clean cash clear across his throat as
deep as if it had been done with arazor.
He was taken to the Central Maine
General hospital and his wounds
dressed. When the physicians had as
sembled to operate on him and ex-
amined his throat they Immediately
thought that it was a case of suicide
and that he had done it with a razor,
but were informed as to the details
and pronounced it a most remarkable
accident. The cash in his throat laid
open the flesh nan an inch deep in one
place and showed the arteries and
veins plainly. 1t was most lucky ac-
cident that the cut was no deeper else
he would have died before he could
have been removed from the room. His
recovery is expected.
