CRUSHED IN
: AN ENDLESS BELT
Gus Roses Son Meets With Ac-
cidsnt at Union Feed
Warehouse.

William Rose, the eight-year old son
met with an accident on Monday after
noon at the Union Feed Conpany's
warehouse in which his right fore arm
was crushed and entirely wrenched off
in the endless belt in the sacking and
storage department. The injury was
SO severe that the entire arm had to
be amputated at the shoulder. The ac-
cident was due entirely to the unfor-
tunate boys carelessness and none OF
the employees of the company are
blamed by the parents.
A number of boys, including young
Rose had been in the habit of frequent
ing the companys premises eager to
it's work of carrying sacks. They had
been ordered off the place many times
and on Monday Willie was taken from
the engine room by the engineer ana
told not to return. Instead of needing
the warning the boy entered the build
ing at another door and came up be-
hind man who was feeding the hop
per from the last consignment of sacks.
The latter had about finished his work
and intended tS stop the belt shortly
when he heard scream. The man
turned about just in time to see young
Roses right arm caught between the
belt and roller. The engine was stop
ped and the boys arm released. The
tendons were frightfully torn off the
lower part of the arm, but the boy
bravely stood the pain. He was sent
in hack to the Queens Hospital and
yesterday morning the amputation of
the entire arm was made The boy
withstood the shock and will recover
