Unfortunate Man Was 0iling Machinery
When Clothing Caught and He

the granite shed Of e. Abbiati g. Bros.
on Blackwell street, was killed this af-
ternoon BY being caught and whrl,d
around the shafting Of the uaacliiliery

Shortly after the plant started up
work this afternoon, Bovce went llp 10
the top Of the low shed To oil some
Of the gearing while bis machinery was
running. Just how he came to be caught
in the machinery is not known, but il
il thought that he became careless. The
clotaing on his left leg became entan-
gled in the gearing and the unfortu-
nate man, unable to extricate himself,
WAS thrown rapidly about. The leg
was literally pulled out at the hip ana
the body then fell to the ground, while
the limb remained ais it was caught in
the gearing and was later taken down
BY the other workmen in the she'd.
Drs. J. w. Jackson, w. ID Reid and
Miller were summoned to care for the
injured man, but he was so terribly
hurt that nothing could be done to save
his life. Death ensued about half ain
hour after the accident had happened.

the loss OF the leg we're sustained.
