fell across a circular saw running at
full speed. The young man was not
employed at the mill, but had walked
up to the saw carriage when large
oak log was placed in position for cut
ting. Noticing that the segment near
the saw was jumping he stepped over
to place his foot on it to hold it in
position, and losing his balance, he
fell across the saw. His body was al
most served just above the hips.
His mother at Fort Smith was noti-
fed. Burial occurred at West Point
