Belt slips: saves Life.

Spencer.-Raymond McGinnis of this
city owes his life to the fact that a
belt slipped OF q wheel. He had a
narrow escape from a terrible death
when his coat became caught between
the chain and the big wheel Of the
machinery in a local elevator. He was
being drawn into the machinery when
he had presence Of mind enough to-
grasp hold of a beam and brace him
self the best he could. but neverthe-
less he was drawn in between the
chain and sprocket wheel until his
shoulder and arm were squeezed in be-
tween the two pieces OF machinery. AT
this critical j%uncture, when his life
hung in the balance, the big drive
belt In the basement Of the elevator
slipped off the wheel. thus stopping
the machinery. This saved his life,
for had the belt remained in place he
would have been literally cut to-
pieces, AS 1t was he was badly bruised
and cut and his clothing was torn to
shreds.
