TERRIBLE DEATH
George Stratton Instantly Killed in Nichols
Single Plant at Ballard

ing. The machine had been In oper-
alton but few minutes when Il be-
came necessary to adjust the belt
that transmitted the power from the
main shaft 10 the shlngie saws. The
steel shaft was hung close to the
ceiling of the mill building. and In
order TO get at the upper belt pulley
II was necessary for one to stand
ON a box.
As there was no one present when
the accident happened, Just how the
unfortunate man was caught n not
known. From the state OF the ma.
chinery and the dead body, however,
Il WAS evident that the unfortunate
sawyer was caught IN the revolving
shaft and hurled TO his death, II Is
probable that he was rendered I'm
conscious almost Immediately after
he was caught by the flying mass OF
metal.
The humping OF the limp body
against the ceiling OF the building
attracted several other workmen e
place where the accident occurred
When they arrived, however, the
corpse was lying on the floor
bruised, bleeding and rnnngied. The
skull was crushed, and, IN fnet
neafiy every bone In the body was
brokeni
