himself, as a helpmeet, Miss Jones OF |
IKershaw. The coroner'S jury In

brought in a verdict to the effect that
the infant came to its death at the
hands of parties unknown to the
jury. DR.. A. NJ. Wylie in response TO
a question from Coroner Leckie

been a serious accident at the overall
factory this morning; but as it was

Her clothing became entangled In
one of the machines, and before she
could eXtricate 1t she was drawn bod |
lily into the machine. Fortunately, |
however, Supt. Baker noticed the oc-
currence and threw the belt off the
pulley just in the nick of time, thus
undoubtedly saving the young ladyS
| life. Little Aileen Wylie, aged
eight years, youngest daughter OF Mr..
and Mrs. ]. E. Wylie, died at her
home near the Southern depot Friday
