Exceedingly Close To Death

William Schiller had a close cali at Allmendinger & Schneider's mili Monday afternoon, and it is a mai-Tel that he was not instantly killed in a frightful marnier. He is not a regular miller, but was employed to do rough work about the mili where he had been some time and had won the good will of all. He was cleaning up, but contrary to the custom and without instructions, he climbed ap when the machinery was in motioD, to sweep off the beam9 which support the shafting. A regular miller wouldn't have gone at it in the way Mr. Schiller did. His shcrt broom was caught in the relentless cogq : his hand wa9 instantly drawn in and terribly mangled. The handle of the broom ia of hard wood and it saved his life. There are five deep indentations in it, but it resiatedenou.'hto throw the machinery out of gear. Hi fellow workmen acted very coolly and promptly in relie ving him from the dangerous and painful position. Dr. W. B. Smith was called and dressed the hand. Probably no permanent injury will result except a st.ff thumb. If the broom handle had not thrown the machinery out of gear, the arm would have been torn off, the man would have dropped into the pulleys, and would have beea broken in a terrible way. It is the first accident of the kind which has ever occurred in Allmendinger & Sohneider's mili. Mr. Schiller ia about 30 years old, and has been married only a few week?.
