being used in lifting the dirt from

Olson went down to fix it. He
was let down on a chain: and when
he reached the scene of the break
struck upon the end Of q parted
rod. He called out to those above
to pull him up and they started up
the team suddenly, in such a way
that Olson lost his grip on the
chain and plunged downward
thirty-fve feet. He was caught by
the rod and machinery in the fall
and badly mangled. His ribs were
torn loose from his spinal column,
his neck was broken and he was
otherwise badly cut up. Judge
Gilbert ascertained the facts in the
