head from Lis elevated position was
above it. Suddenlv the men heard a
peculiar noise overhead, and looking
up were borritied to see the form of
poor Olsen whirling with almost incon
ceivable rapidity about the shaft, Leld
down by the belt. Before any move
ment towards assistance could be made
his body was cut in two at the waist.
Tbe head and trunk were thrown out
through a door into another apartment,
and hia legs dropped on the floor near
the lath machine. One aria was found
fastened between the belt and the shaft.
Tbe contortions and twitching of the
head and trunk for more than a minute
after the accident occurred are too hor
rible for description. It ia needless to
state that death was instantaneous, al
though some muscles moved for several
minutes.
How the young man came to be en
tangled in the belt is not known and
never will be. It seems inexplicable.
The terrible accident occurred like a
flash and no one saw it till it was over.
His footing may have given war, caus
ing him to fall against the shaft, or he
mav have been caurrht nn bv iha belt.
