SHELTER Workman KILLED
Jacob MOrem Caught is the Screw in
the MiN-rOOm at the Cherokee
LanyOn Smelter at
Gas city

Jacob Moren, an employee OF the
Cherokee-Lanyon ,meltcr at Gas
City, was caught In the screw which
mixes the ore and coal and coke in
the miX-room. just before noon Thurs
dayIand SO badly injured that he died
soon afterwards
The accident happened just about
twelve o'clock and Mr.. Moren and
two other men were working together.
In some way he stepped into the
trough sunk in The floor, where the
screw works and before his com
panions could reach him or turn OIL
the power and stop the machinery,
the powerful screw had simply torn
his right leg into shreads. He was
removed from the machinery and car
ried to the hotel where medical as
sistance was quickly summoned. DR..
Fulton, of lola, hurried to the place
and found the unfortunate man barely
alive. And in spite of every medical
assistance he died soon afterwards,
the nervous shock and the loss of
blood having proven too severe.
The doctor found that the rigl +
limb had been amputated by the screw
just below the knee, bone and flesh
and clothing having been cut off. AS
the leg was drawn into the trough the
flesh was torn from the bones farther
and farther up the limb and had he
not been rescued and the machinery
stopped his entire body would un-
doubtedly have been crushed into a
shapeless mass of flesh and bones.
AS it was the flesh was torn from the
limb nearly to the thigh, although the
bone was not broken there as it was
below the knee.
The dead man swas comparative
stranger in Gas City, having come to
that place from Pittsburg about two
weeks ago and secured work at the
smelter, as he claimed to be an expert
: enced smelterman. He.was somewhat
nearsfghted, and this POSSIBLY ac'
counts for his stepping into the trough,
for every man who has ever seen one

knows what powerful things they are
Mr.. Moren's family is still at Pitts

of the husband and father will be {

and children.

"A DRAWN
BATTLE in
COUNCIL.
The Special Meeting to Consider Tele-
phone Ordinances Was One
Of Excitement.
ALL ORDINANCES REFERRED,
Those OF the Home and Citizens
Companies to Committee and
National to the Solicitor.

city council met in special session last
night to further consider the ordinances
OF the National, Home and Citizens
Telephone Companies. The result was
drawn battle and further delay before
the passage OF either of the measures,
In the second branch, the action OF
the first branch at the last meeting OF
council in tabling the Nationals ordi-
nance until the second branch took the
ordinances OF the Home and Citizens
companies off the table, induced the
latter to take the two ordinances of
the table. Then, as expected, the
branch rejected both.
Then the scene of strife shifted TO the
first branch, where the ordinances of
the Home and Citizens companies were
read for information, and referred to
the committee on ordinances for It's
consideration. After this action had
been taken, the ordinance of the Ma
t.onal was brought up for its first read
ing, and then on motion of Mr.. stroebel
was referred to the city solicitor for
any recommendations he might offer.
Mr.. NJ. A. Chew attempted to secure
reconsideration of the vote on which
this action was taken, but Mr.. stroebel
interviewed with a motion to adjourn,
which resulted In a tie vote, and the
mayor voted AYE" and council adj
journed. Mr.. Hamilton objected to the
mayor voting, claiming that the fact
that the motion had not secured ma
iority defeated 1t. Under Roberts rlues,
claimed Mr.. Hamilton, the mayor had
no vote in such a contingency. Mayor
Sweeney, however claimed he was en-
titled to vote whenever there was u
tie, and declared the first branch adj
journed.
The fight is now suspended until the
regular meeting of council on the sec
ond Tuesday of April, when the solicit
tor must report back the National ordi-
nance. AT the same time. probably. the
committee on ordinances will report
back the ordinances of the two other
companies.
The proceedings of council in detail
are given below.
