DAN 0. DOVE
 IS CRUSHED Fatally Injured by Dough
 Mixer. RIBS OF WHOLE SIDE TORN Mangled by Machinary Before It
 Was Stepped. Head, Chest and Arm So Seriously In- 3ured There Is Little Hope for Recovery--Removedt to Hos-
 patal Immediately

Daniel o. Dove. proprietor of a bak- cry at 1ls Montgomery Street, was so
 badly mangled in the machinery of q dough-mixer in his bakery early last night that it is probable he will die from his hurts.
 The first examination of the physi- clans indicated that all of the ribs on one side had been torn away from the breast bone. one arm crushed so ex- l tensively that it's amputation may be necessary, and his head cut. So soon
 as he could be extricated from the ma- chinery he was taken to St. Marga- ret's Hospital
 There 1t was stated late last night that he had small chance to live.
 The accident to Mr. Dove occurred about 7;3o o'clock last night. In conn pany with his brother-fn-law he had gone to the rear of his shop to set a sponge for the bakers who would come to work the following morning. As he leaned over the large dough-mixer and reached into 1t his hand was caught between two wheels.
 Before he could bring it out again he was dragged into the mixer. He immediately called aloud in his extrem- ity and his brother-in-law ran inans- diately to his assistance. The switch connecting the wires which afforded current to the electric motor that moves the machinery was immediately thrown.
 Fatally Hurt Before Wheels Stop.
 But it was too late. Before the wheels ceased to revolve Mir. Dove had been crushed and torn horribly. And even then the worst was not done. There was none in the shop that understood the machinery well enough toe extri- cate the mangled and suffering man from the apparatus In which he lay bleeding and gasping. After futile attempt to remove MT. Dove from the mixer one of his companions went out to obtain man who could reverse the machinery and thus effect his re- lease Several hundred persons had already congregated around the bak- cry but none of them could afford help.
 It was some time before a man ca pablo of performing the office could be found. Ross Hinds at last was found and he hurried to the bakery and released Mr. Dove.
 Physicians examined Mir. Dove be- fore he was removed from the bakery. It was discovered that all of the ribs on the right side had been disrupted from the sternum; 1t was impossible for them to determine at that time wheth- CT the lungs had been crushed, but 1t was feared that they had. The right arm had been mashed horribly and | doubtlessly Mir. Dove will lose 1t. His head was badly lacerated but the in- l juries to both the head and the arm were ineonsfderabie in comparison to I those to the chest.
 After Mir Dove had been taken to 1 the hospital a closer examination was
 made by the physicians and tneir worst fears were confirmed. It was an- nounced that his wounds would prob. ably have fatal results.
 MT. Dove Sinking Rapidly. MT. Dove was reported at St. Mar garets Hospital at 2:30 o'clock this morning to be losing strength and 1t was believed he would live but rew hours. ., The news of Mir.
