The facts as learned by q Ledger
reporter who arrived at the briokyard
of Mr. Curry a short while alter the

lows: IT,
Il seems that MONTE was working
at the drum used for Pulling up cars
Of dirt from the pitt, 1t was his
duty to manipulate the lover of the
machine that pulled up the cars OF
claV. He was to do this when the
stgnal-the ringing Of the bell-Was
given. While waiting for 5he signal
be had apparently gone over to the
other side from his lever, nesr a
swiftly revolving shaft, and was play
ing with q small piece Of old worn out
betting, which hs had wrapped around
the shaft, supposedly to sse what ef-
feet 1t would have or to await for it
to get too hot to hold. Stray strings
from the bslting finally caught the
shaft, and In turn caught the boy. At
every revolution of the shaft the body
not only struck the ground but struck
q large piecs Of timber which was
near. His clothes were torn entirely
from his body and when the frighten-
ed hands reached him hs was abso.
lutal5 without . stitch of clothing,
even bis shoes being torn from his
feet. One arm, the right one, was torn
from the body at the wrist and was
found some distance away. The same
arm was broken above the elbow.
Both legs were broken above the knee
and 1t Is feared that internal injucies
exist. Physicians were hurriedly sum-
moned and Mr.. J. b. Curry, the brick
contractor and father of the boy, was
soon on the spot. The unfortunate
lad was carried to his homo, q short
distance away, and preparations were
made for an operation. The operation
is in progress at this writing.
The escape Of the boy from instant
death Is marvellous. Small scraps OK
clothing and buttons can be Eeen
strewn around the ground where tho
accident occurred. The constitution
of the boy III excellent and will be Of
great assistance ct this time of need.

arrived on tie spot, and convened

CREDITORS ASK
POLICE TO FIND
AGENT TAYLOR
Local Representative of
Fidelity Commercial
Investment Co.

Request has been made OF Inspector
Boardman to have detectives make en-
deavor to apprehend r. II. Taylor. the
local agent of the Fidelity Commercial
Investment Company OF Philadelphia,
who disappeared from his office In the
Kellogg building on August . and has
not been seen since. 1t is believed by
some Of the persons who intruste their
money to him that he has absconded.
Taylor sold accumulatIve bonds to his
clients. They were to pay 81 a week for
tive years. At the end Of the 200 weeks
instead OF receiving that many dollars
the investors were to get $Sol.ls; the
extra S4l.lS representing accumulated
interest Taylor was a pleasant, mild
hammered fellow and had many trlendS'
Shortly after taking the position with
the investment company he got most or
his friends to purchase stock and agree

did a land Office business and had
clients in all parts of the city, from
whom he would collect the dollar

treasurer Of the home company In
Philadelphia, committed suicide News
Capers in that city reported that he
ended his life because OF shortages in
his accounts. Taylor continued 10 col
lcct money in Washington and to issue
checks.
several days after the death OF Roth
ermel the checks drawn by Taylor
were returned unhonOred, because II is
said. there were no funds 20 meet thCm.
One young man with WHOM Taylor
roomed cashed a check for several hun
dred dollars for him, and learned sew
eral DAYS later that II was no good.
Other friends cashed checks for 500 and
$40, all Of the drafts proving worth
less.
Late in July Taylor married Wash
ington girl His friends say they never
suspected that anything was wrOngn or
that Taylor was anything other than
upright and reliable. It Is not renewed
bv his friends that he would have mar
ried a few days before running away.
The view they take Of the matter is
that Taylor did not have the nerve to
face his friends and tell them that
their money was gone so soon after
having painted such a highly colOred
picture Of wealth before their eyes.
At the CaywcOd apartment house. on
