CRUSHED IN A HOPPER.
Michael Maggie Ground Into a
Shameless PuIp

Derby, Conn, Feb. 2T.-Death came 10
Michael Maggie in a horrible form yester-
day morning. He was actually ground to
pulp in a giant hopper. The man was en-
ployed by the United States Rubber Re
claiming Company, and it was his business
to feed old rubber into the hopper, in
which it was mashed and ground into fine
pulp preliminary TO being remade into
sheet rubber.
The monster hopper can masticate hun
dreds of pounds of stock at once. How
Maggie fell in is a mystery. His death
became known when the mans legs tum-
bled out OF the grinding apparatus. The
engines were stopped.
In the bins of pulveriZed rubber below
there We're tons of material filled with
bits of hair and clothing and bone There
were ciots of blood too. The entire body.
with the exception of the legs had gone
through the machine. So quick was ihe
hopper's action that the victim had not
time to make even an outcry.
The blCodsoaked pulp was shoyeled into
a box and taken to the morgue. Maggie
left a widow and seven children. When
she heard of her husbands awful death
the widow swooned away. Her reason is
gone and physicians doubt that she can
recover.

wounded at her home, in the lower part

his mothers home. several blocks away,
where he is supposed to have secured
horse and made his escape. The woman
was taken to the Home for the Sick,
where she underwent surgical treatment.
The surgeons pronounce her case hopeless
and she is not expected to live. Officers
are on the track of Brown, and his cap
ture is but question of time.
