FATAL ENDING TO
PRACTICAL JOKE
Sittssurs Man PIsyfully Tossed
into a Steel Press and Acct
dentaiIy Crushed to Death.

Pittsburg, Feb. 3.-What, started out
as playful SNOWFALL fight between
some Of the employees of the Pressed
steel Car company in Allegheny ter
minated in tragedy that has horrl,
hed the entire district Joseph Koe-
tricke, 26 years old, was lifted bodily
by three co-laborers in the car works,
carried struggling into the press room
and placed under one of the great
bull presses which are used to forco'
the steel plates into shape for the mana
ufacture of freight cars. While strug
Cling, and shouting, one of the men ac.
cidentally struck the operating lever Of
the ponderous machine.
Before any of the struggling fellows
realized 1t, the ponderous press de.
scended on the unfortunate Koetrike.
He gave frightful scream and at the
same moment one of the horrlfied by.
ISLANDERS, threw the lever over reversing
the press. AS the great mass of Iteel
rose, those nearby turned away from
the sight of the mangled man. This
act prevented the crushing of the body
OF Koetrike into an unrecognizable
mass, but it did not prevent fearful In
ternal injuries that soon resulted In
his death. His companions have been
placed under arrest.

Mr.. Cameron Says COL
umbiana Is TayIer's.
DEFENDS STHOSERU
Everybody Had Notice, He
Says, and Must Abide by the
Deeis,on--"It's No New
Thing"
(From a staff Correspondent J


Columbus, Feb. 3.-A recent dis
patch sent out from Columbus gave
what purported to be an interview with
State Treasurer /. B. Cameron in re.
gard to his views on the rule adopted
by the Columbiana county central
committee to govern the coming coun.
ty primaries. Under the caption
Cameron Says Rule Don't Cinch Tay-
ler's case" the dispatch was repro
duced in the Cast Liverpool Crisis II,
its issue of January 20.
Mr.. Cameron was asked upon his
return to this city from Salem, where
he went to deliver an address before
the M. A. Hanna club, If he had seen
the dispatch in question.
Eyes, l have seen it," he replied
81 did not use the language attributed
to me in the article and have not been
interviewed on the subject. This rule
adopted governing the listing of can
didates at the coming Republican pri.
maries in Columbiana county is nc
new feature" he continued. For sew.
eral years past the county central
committee has fixed a time limit
wherein candidates might enter and
the rule this year was merely following
a precedent already established. Amy
Republican of good standing from any
county in the district could have had
his name placed on the ballot in Col
umbiana county had he complied with
the rule as did Mr.. Tayler, and it
seems to me that the newspapers Of
the district did their full share in ex-
plotting this rule, thereby giving no.
tice to all of it's conditions. AS the
situation now is-no candidate
having complied with the rule save
Mr.. Tayler-no other name for con-
gresham will appear on the ballot at
tho primaries in Columbiana county
this year, and the delegates selected by
the executive committee and the can
didate for congress will be morally
bound to support Mr.. Tayler.
81 cannot see that any undue advan-
tage has been taken for or against
any person desiring to become can.
didate for congress. AS l have said
a rtie was adopted making time limit
for the entering of candidates on tho
Republican ticket for all the Offices to
be filled in Columbiana county, includ-
ing that of congressman, and the
newspapers Of the Eighteenth district,
through their enterprise, did their full
duty in seeing that the people had full
knowledge of the. effect of this par
ticular rule by giving it the benefit of
their wide circulation-some of them
in double leads and pointed para
graphs. AS result of which I think
no reader of the newspapers Of the
Eighteenth district can justly claim
that he did not have notice"
"Will Mr.. Tayler have the undivided
support of the delegates of Columbiana
county in the congressional convention
this year,"
"He surely will" was the answer.

The Presbyterian church of this city
