COLD-BLOODED ALL THROUGH.
Remarkable Saving Accident Fails to
Excite This Workman.

The most remarkable accident that
ever occurred in the history of the An
drews Il Peck shop, Hartford, Conn,
happened when 26-foot band saw split
from end to end and wound itself about
Joseph Dubrule, who was working on it.
Dubrule had been working on the ma
chine and had just stepped around it to
n position directly in front of the saw
blade He bent forward to move the
adjuster and at that instant the blade
broke and coiled its entire length about
the mans body. The saw was moving
at great speed when it split and the
other workmen stood aghast. Dubrule
disentangled himself from the glitterns
band and, stepping around to his ma
chine. shut it down himself. Then he
seized a bunch of cotton waste and be-
gan tying it about his right arm, which
had been cut through to the bone. He
was a mass of cuts. The little finger of
his left hand was cut off and there were
bad cuts on both legs.
