He Throws Himself Into the Fire of an
Ore Furnace

ments after midnight an unknown man
threw himself headlong into one of the
furnaces at Schoenberger's mills, Four

not disfigured.

and stand at the foot Of the hoisting
cage, which carrier ore, coke and other
supplies for the %urnace. The moment
that a warning was sounded for the
cage to ascend with its burden three

platform and stand within a few feet
of them. He was pulled out about
three minutes later, every part Of his
body resembling a piece Of half cooked
