to the cession of the Holy City, there
was no use of further parley
From semi-official source it was

morning, in which Oscar Peterson los,
his life. l. appears that Mr.. Peterson
was attending a 20 horsepower gaso.

shredder, and in some manner his
heavy coat caught on the projecting
shaft of the engine and he was unable
to extricate himself. The unfortunat ate
mau was whirled around at a fearful
rate until his fellow workmen at the
shredder discovered his plight. and
when they stopped the engine the legs
of the victim had been whipped into q
shapeless mass, and bones had been
broken in other parts Of the body.
Mr.. Peterson had been in the EN-.
ploy OF Captain Stevens for some time
past. and is said to have been care
full in handling machinery, but in this
case it is supposed his coat was &C.
cidentally blown against the shaft Of
the engine. A brother of the deceased
