Mckinley has shown an unwilling

physical as we'll as mental strength
for the duties of the Office and to al
low a reasonable number of years of
active service before retirement.

SEVERELY INJURED
William WelnStoCk Has Miraculous Escape
From Death.

William Weinstock while standing
on step ladder on the fourth floor of
the Marietta Transfer and Storage
Co. S building, oiling the machinery
his balance and fell against the main
driving shaft. A set screw in che
shaft caught in his left sleeve and bad
ly lacerated his arm. 1t was only due
to his great physical strength and re-
markable presence of mind that he
was not instantly killed. With one
hand he held himself from being
wound into the meshes of the machin-
cry, and with the other he tore off his
clothing while he succeeded in kicking
the main belt from its pulley, whicn
last act undoubtedly saved his life.
When he YVES thrown from the shaft
his head struck a timber of the eleva-
tor shaft and he fell. inflicting severe
injuries to his head and shoulders. to
the floor below, where he lay for some
moments unable. in his pitiable con-
dition, bruised, bleeding and stunned,
to call for assistance.
AS soon as he could make known his
condition his fellow employees came to
his assistance. Medical aid was sum-
moned, ociates administered and ev-
erything possible done to alleviate his
terrible suffering.
1t was found that he had sustained
bad cut in the left arm. severe scalp
wound confusion of the head and
shoulders and that the ribs of his left
side were badly injured. 1t is also be-
lieved that he is suffering from inter-
nal injuries.
Later in the day he was moved to
the Sanatorium.
Mr.. Weinstock is a blacksmith and
has been in the employ of the comp
any for the past three years. 1t was
his business to look after the machin-
cry of the building as we'll as to at
tend to the shoeing of the horses.
