seed conveyor at the oil mill Monday
and his right leg was broken in two
places. One Of the hands caught him
and held him to prevent his going
farther in, while another is said to
have caught the belt and held it until
it could be thrown off up stairs. The
boy died Wednesday,, and Coroner
GLADDEN. held an inquest yesterday, as
there were some intimations that the
boy was pushed into the conveyor.
