Brains Dashed Out.

A horrible accident at the brick
making plant of John NJ. Nichols in
Dyersburg last week cost little Jessie
Gordon his life. The little boy was
just twelve years old and had been
sent by his mother to take breakfast
to his father, J. B. Gordon, who was
the engineer at the plant. While the
father ate his breakfast, the boy took
his place to fire up and keep the ma
chinery going. He leaned over a
belt to reach after something he
needed and in so doing was caughk
by the belt and carried over the tre-
mendous fly wheel between the belt
and the wheel, and was thrown vic
lently against the side of the house
and his brains dashed out and many
of his bones broken.
