able to extricate himself, was 1rawn
down under one of the large propelllng
wheels and was mashed so completely
that he died i'm very few minutes. 1t

but it is supposed that he was reaching
over some part of the machinery to oil
some part on tS7e opposite side, and has

off, aud that stopped the moving part
of the machinery, which attracted
the attention of s0me other employee,
and ais situaIiOn was at once realized.
