Frank Block, 19 years of age, an opirator in the Sharf Tag, Label and Box factory at Ypsilanti, met with a very serious accident shortly before noon Tuesday. He was working on the wire machine in a room by bimself when those in adjoining apartnients heard his shrieks. Rushiug in they found him prostrate on the floor. He had got caught in the belting in some way and was jerked up to the shafting. Just above the shafting are some steam pipes and he had been whirled around and banged up against these in a terrible manner until the main belt came off. His right hand was cut to the bone. Between the elbow and wrist of the riglit arm there was compound comminuted fracture with the flesh badly lacerated and bones crushed. The bone above the elbow was broken in two places and crushed, the muscles lacerated, but the skin was not ruptured. At three inches below the shoulder the amputation was made. The lelt thigh was broken fpur inches above the knee and the right three inches above the knee, and also three inches below the hip, a fracture in two places on the right leg. Dr Owen did all he could to save the poor young man's life, but he could not rally from the terrible shock to his system and died at 5 o'clock Wednesday morning. The funeral services were held this morning at 9 o'clock.
