Whirled To His Death

Burlington, la., Nov. 25.- Gus Johnson, an assistant machinist at the Murran Iron works, was instantly killed TTuesday morning. He had mounted to a platform sixteen feet above the floor, and was attempting to place a belt on a rapidly revolving shaft when his left arm was caught and torn from the body and thrown across the building. The belting at the same time caught his body and, drawing it up to the shaft, whirled it around rapidly, thrashing it against the ceiling and shaft hangers, and then releasing it, ihrew it a distance into a pile of iron.
