1t is only that she takes herself so

IS ROASTED TO DEATH
Horrible Fate of Earl Kisor a Young
Farmer of Near New Sharon.

Death in most awful form came to
Earl c. KisOr, young traction engin,
eer of New Sharon, Tuesday. Crushed
against the boiler-head of his engine
and wedged in so tightly against a
grain separator that he could not be
moved from the torture of the con.
Stunning heat, the victim was literally
roasted to death. III addition to the
burning fire, one of the broken steam
pipes had punCtured the abdomen
and penetrated the stomach. The
victim was being cooked from with.
in, while burning up against his red
hot engine. And in this terrible posi-
ton he was held for thirty minutes,
while those who could have rescued
him were helpless to do a thing to
relieve the terrible agony. Not un-
til numerous teams of horses had
been secured and after much harness
and many singletrees broken in the
effort to move the heavy engine could
the workers succeed in making room
enough in the wreck to get at the
dying man.
Young KisOr was engaged as engin-
eer for a threshiug outfit working at
the Leonard Rooyaart farm near Tain
tor, Desiring to take up another
station, orders were given to move
the separator and in obedience to the
command the engineer was backing
the engine to make coupling with
the gear of the machine when he for
some unaccuuntable reason lost con.
trail of the engine, which at top speed
began dashing backwards in the direc-
ton of the big separator with only
the space of the driving belt inter,
vening. Ksor probably thought he
could stop the engine, for he had
plenty Of time to jump and might
have saved himself, but he stayed on
the platform and attempted to get
the engine shut down. He was un.
able to control the machine, however,
and the engine working to the extent
OF its power crashed into the separa,
