ACCIDENT AT THE MILL
Second Floor of Storage Building
Gave WAY Under Heavy Weight
OF Four Cars of Shorts.

a peculiar accident s.bappened at
the mill OF Bailey \ Christensen this
morning that nearly cost four on
five men theiI lives. The firm has a
large thlee-story storage house stand
ing d few feet south of the mill in
which they store their surplus feed
inc and ilour stutls. On the second
floor, occupying nearly the entire
space. Was stored four carloads of
shoots. Mr.. Christensen was in the
building and he heard a cracking of
the joists and called the men at once
to get ON braces to prevent the
Impending danger of the tlool giving
away urder the great weight. The
men came with the braces and inn
mediately the cracking became more
OminOuS, when Nir. Christensen told
them They had better get out. They
had not been out of the building hut
a fe" moments when the floor gave
way with a crash. The lower part
of the cast end OF the building was
pushed out and the material was
precipltated on the ground and large
quantity fell ON the flour stored i'm
sacks on the tilst floor.
When TIC floor gave way and the
shorts vent out it seemed to create a
suction on the south and east sides
OF the building, pulling them in
from the top 70 the bottom and
wrenciling the structure badly. The
floor was supported by girdcrs made
up of four KS stringe1s spiked to-
gctheI aud supported ny timbers OF
equal strength.
MI. BAILEY estimated the loss and
damage at about $500. The .Milwau-
kee road furnished:some cars at once
to load the shorts in for shipment.

Last Saturday evening Capt. o.
A. Winters, one Of the bess known
and post highly respected citizens in
the county, died at his home in this
city, surrounded by devoted family
and, true friends.
Capt. Winters came to this county
about 1870 from middle Tennessee,
near Lebanon, and settled at Winter
vile. the little city that bears his
name. He engaged in planting,
which business he was following at
the time of his death. For a num-
ber OF years he served the county as
supervisor, and for his ability was
honored by that body by being chosen
its president. He was always recog-
nized as one Of Il 9 county's good and
noble citizens and throughout his
whole life did only those acts that
made sterling character and drew
friends around him as was testified ,by
the large number of friends who at
tended his funeral.
The funeral services were con-
ducred Sunday afternoon at the house
by Rev. Halsey Werlein, of the
Episcopal Church and the remains
were laid to rest in the city cemetery.
The Times sympathises with the fam
lily and relatives in his death.
