.ELMERSANOERSOND DEAD.
Head Crushed in Coal Chute at
Brunswick Friday : While at
Work Buried Sunday.

One Of the saddest as well as
suddenest fatal accidents which
has occurred in the city of Bruins
wick in years, was the in
stantaneous death of Elmer San
derson at that city last Friday.
Elmer was one of the car in
spectors for the railroad, his
duties being to look over bookings
and wheels of passenger and
freight trains passing thru as
we'll as temporarily repairing
anything found out of fix about
cars in trains or in the yards.
In no way was he connected
with the instrument of death
which caught him and crushed
his life out quicker than any
number of volts of electricity.
During a leisure time, he stood
and watched the big coal chute
in operation. This structure is
operated by an engine with ca
bles attached to large heavy iron
scoops which are raised and low
cred, filling and emptying coal
from a basement into which the
coal is dropped from cars, carry
it up some distance and deposit
ing it into chutes from which
locomotives tenders are filled.
Buck" as he was called, was
standing beside the chute this
afternoon, and curiosity prompt
ed him TO look down to the bot
tom to which the large scoops
descended for filling and he
leaned a little way over the edge
of the frame work in order to dc
so, forgetting the scoop coming
down. In a moment it had
caught his head between its
sides and the side of the shaft,
and the wonder is that it did not
shave it off entirely. His heaC
was bruised and evidently his
neck broken, butin no wise man
gled as appeared inevitable.
Elmer was married a few
years ago to a daughter of D. D.
Knight and they resided here
for some time, finally movine
to Brunswick where he had OBJ
tanned employment mentioned
He was a hard working honest
conscientious young man, anC
always found enough to keel
him busy by attending to hi
own business and consequent!
had a host of friends, ever
among toose of much greatel
pretentions to Importance.
He was inferred here in tn,
city cemetery after funeral ser
vices at the Methodist churcl
conducted by Rev. Meyers, tn,
pastor.
