FRIENDLY SCUFfLE

MEN FALL INTO VAT OF BOILING
FRUIT JUiCE-ONE FATALLY
BURNED.

Seattle Wash, Sept. 22.-Joc King
was probably fatally burned and Art
Mills was seriously burned by falling
into a vat of boiling fruit juice at the
plant of the Pacific Coast Syrup Co.,
following a friendly scuffle between
the two men. Little hope is held out
for Kings recovery, as he fell in
head first His face, shoulders, arms
and breast were so badly scalded that
death is expected within few hours.
Mills fell into corner vat, but man
aged to catch hold of the side, saving
himself from falling In.
Other employees hearing the cry of
King rushed to his assistance aud
pulled him out. A hose was turned on
him, which prevented the boiling juice
from burning him any worse. Lee
Matheny put his arm into the vat and
caught King by the collar and pulled
him out Mathenys arm was badly
scalded.
King claims all blame for the acci.
dent saying it was his fault, and that
they should not have engaged in a
scuffle so close to the vat.
