Drawn Into A Wheat Bin
Columbus, Ind., Aug. 14. - Robert Shatto, aged 17, met a horrible death here last week. He was working in a hopper-shaped wheat bin at Griffith's elevator, from which the wheat was being emptied. His legs became submerged in the wheat, and, drawn by the suction of receding wheat, he was unable to extricate himself. His screams for help brought workmen to his rescue, but they were unable to saved him. For several minutes he struggled, but finally sank out of sight and was covered by 400 bushels of wheat, from which it required an hour to recover the body.
