correspondence Of The Star.

Special Correspondence Of The Star.
BOYD'S, Nd. October 4, 1905.
While the engineer of the hosting engine
at the excavations at Little Monaeacy tres
tie was letting down the huge iron bucket
to get out more dirt the bucket swung
around and struck an Italian workman
whose name could not be learned and
crushed the side of his head and broke his
neck, killing him instantly. The accident
so aroused the italian colony there that the
men began to gather picks. clubs and any
thing they could lay their hands on to make
an attack upon the engineer. The engineer
fed. 1t is declared that he was not at fault.
Proper signals were not given him, it is
said, and * Is also stated the laborer was
partly at fault for not keeping sharp look
out.
Up to late hour this evening the engi-t
neer had not returned. The body of the
Italian was turned over to w r. Hilton &
Sons. undertakers at GAINESVILLE for prep
aration for shipment to friends In Phladel-
phia.
William Benson of Seneca was badly in.
jured Saturday by his team running away.
The horses became frightened and ran and
in his efforts to check them he was thrown
to the ground under the feet of the two rear
wheel horses and was kicked on the head,
face and body. Mr.. Benson was uncon-
scioussehen rescued and one of his legs was
broken.
