Young Man Fatally
Injured Friday Night
August Schulter Dies From Injuries
Sustained While Working in the
GlenwOOd Bakery


write of the unfortunate accident
which caused the death of August
Schluter, young man who had be-
come as one of us in the short time
he had made his home in Glenwood.
Mr.. Schluter was employed in the
Glenwood Bakery, working night
shift. He was busily engaged in mix
ing bread on Friday evening about 8
o'clock scraping the dough down
from the parts of the mixer with a
scraper when he lost the scraper in
the mixer and, instead of waiting to
turn off the power, he grabbed for the
utensl and the mixer in it's next revo-
luton caught his hand and pulled his
body into tn machinery. There were
three men in the bakery at the time
while Mr.. Swanson, the proprietor,
was in his office in the front of the
building. The men rushed to him and
tried to pull him out but their efforts
were futile until Mr.. Swanson ran out
and threw the mixer out of gear. The
men then lifted him out. He was still
living, though his face was badly cut
and his right hand was cut nearly in
two. 1t wasn't until later, when DR..
Eberline had arrived and he had been
made comfortable in every way, that
the seriousness of the wound in his
chest was realized. The machinery
had caught him diagonally across the
chest and the internal injuries were
what caused his death. He was taken
to the Glenwood hospital and died
there at o'clock Saturday morning.
Two brothers and one sister, who had
been summoned from Sedan came
here as soon as they could and were
able to talk with their brother before
he died. -. }
