3 INJURED BY
FALLING DOCK
John Fredsr lckson, Paul Kes-
sIer and John Schsetz Near
Death at |. v.
REMOVED TO HOSPITAL
We're Helping DemoIish Old
B Dock When Struck by
Mass of Timber.

While helping to demolish the old
coal dock of the Lehigh Valley
railroad three men had narrow es-
capes from death when they were
caught by falling section of a dozen
stringers and cross pieces, which gave
way while they were on top of the
structure loosening the rivets and
bolts, yesterday afternoon, about 4
o'clock. One man was knocked un-
conscious for few minutes, another
sustained a broken rib and a pune
tured lung, and the third had a rib
broken, torn lung and broken foot
bone. All who received numerous
contusions of the face and body were
removed to the city hospital.
The first man mentioned was John
Frederickson, Of 586 Amboy avenue;
the second, Paul Kessler, of 434 High
street, and the third, John Scheetz Of
468 Park avenue. The men were en-
ployed by the Daniels Contracting
Comany Of New York, sub-contrac-
tor in the erection Of the immense
new coal bumper in the vicinity of B
dock. They were working In Ole

.
several sections of the dock, and had
started tearing down another. Largo
ropes were fastened around the
stringers, p4d dozens of men were
placed on cable to pull down the
structure,N hile other men were set
to unlooserAng the bolts. Frederick
son, Kessler and Scheetz were detail
ed to the top Of the beams to un-
fasten the bolts with hammers.
While they were operating on top
other men were doing the same thing
on the side, and in few minutes the
structure became so weak that it col
lapsed, when the men continued to
heaVe on the ropes. All three men
came down with cave-in. Frederick
son fell to one side, but was hit on
the head by cross-piece, which rem
dered him unconscious for few
utes. The other two men were pID-
under large stringer which would
have mashed them to death II one
end had not struck some debris,
which kept the beam raised enough
to prevent entirely crushing the men.
1t required the strength of fifteen
men to lift the large beam, which
partially covered the two employees.
The men we're squeezed SO that d
right rib of Kessler and left rib of
Scheetz were snapped and pushed in
ward, making ugly wounds in the
lungs. A large bone in Scheetz' s
right foot was also fractured.
The men were hastily extricated
from the debris, and carried to a
nearby shanty, where they awaited
the arrival OF the hospital ambulance,
which rushed Frederickson, who had
been knocked unconscious, to the in
|stitution first, then returned for the
other two. DR.. G. w. Tyrrell was
notified and attended the wounded
men at the hospital. All of the men
are recovering as fast as possible.
scheetz was sent home after he had
received attention at the institution,
because all of the beds were occu-
pied, but will return as soon as there
is room.

hers, and every fair day the rivals
would sit for hours with the fair
American, each trying to cut the
other out. One of the two was no.
toriously parsimonious. The men
spoke Of him as one who chad never
bought drink in his life,a and his
stinginess was manifested even in
the way he smoked his cigars down
to the last quarter of an inch.

lean girls entire attention, smoked
a cigar, until it began to SINCE his

him languadly as he arose to toss

he wanted the nuts gathered and CIV
en- to the people OF Texas, who should

The Hattiesburg news. (Hattiesburg, Miss.) 1908-1917, 1912-07-13

Mr.. Chas. E. Pabst who has done mar
velously in the matter of pecan grow
ing. Having been thirty-two years in
the business he has amassed a large
fortune by sticking to this one line
and devoting his energies to it. Incl
dentally he has been great pecan
tree distributor, and instead of Gov
ernor Hogg's bequest of one tree to
Texas he has personally distributed
hundreds of thousands of trees through
the South. For years Mfr. Pabst has
personally given almost exclusive at
tention to his nursery, and because of
his need for graft-wood, he had grown
but few nuts, until eight years ago
when he put out an orchard of 300
trees, and three years later put out
500 trees. So from these 800 trees he
last year gathered 26,0OO lbs of nuts.
In addition to the nursery business Mr..
Pabst is now increasing his orchard,
and in few years the nut industry
of Ocean Springs will be one of the
largest enterprises in Mississippi.
