HORRIBLE AGONY.
Asa WilliamsOn's Life Was
Slowly Crushed Out.
Released to Die After Three
Days Suffering.

Pinioned to the bottom OF a freight
car by heavy tinbers, Asa Williamson
lived for three days and his mangled
body was released today just in time to
allow the little spark of life that was
left to flicker out in more comfortable
surroundings.
The car was loaded with heavy tim
bers, inches thick, 16 inches wide and
IS feet long. The car was switched into
the lumber yard this morning. 1t was
loaded in the northwest. A workman in
passing heard a groan- He thought per-
haps some one was under the car.
a search was made. The groans,
which could be plainly heard, seemed to
come from the end Of the car. Some of
the heavy tinbers were lifted and down
in the bottom of the car was a man.
But for his moaning he seemed to be
dead. Two Of the heavy timbers were
piuioning him to the floor and the ends
of other timbers crushed him against
the end of the car.
The timbers were quickly lifted off
the car, but not until most Of the tim
bers were moved could the man be res
cued- When he was taken out he was
pale, begrImed, cut and bleeding
The patrol wagon was called and he
was taken to the police station and then

Before he died he managed to tell the
nurses at the hospital that he had got
ten into the car on Tuesday and had
been piniOned there, suffering untold
agOnies, for three days. He said his
father lived in DecOy. III.
He had crawled into the end of the
car, where there was a space between
the ends of the timbers and the end of
the car While the car was being
switched the jerking Of the car caused
the tfmbers to slide toward the end of
the car, crushing and managing the un-
fortunate man. He gave his age as -

vana says: A committee of Spaniards in
Havana have issued a strong appeal to
their compatriots throughout the island to

Steps were taken by the Spaniards to
publish their views. They express the be-
lief that if an Independent government is
