According to reports of the acci dent, by members of the threshing crew, Mr, Schumacher was filling grease cups near the jackshaft when the sleeve of his jumper was caught by a set screw and he was drawn into the moving machinery. His body showed bruises at many different places, but his death was thought to have been caused by an injury to the base of his spine which caused paralysis of the respiratory organs. When caught by the machine, Schumacher was pulled under the dog house. As he felt himself being pulled under the shaft he called to the men to stop the machine which was done almost immediately. When removed from his dangerous position he was taken across the field about half a mile to the home of J. H. Constant where first aid was admin istered until arrival of Dr. J. A. Won derlick from Wasco and Dr. W. N. Morse from The Dalles, who soon dis covered that very little hope could be held’ for his recovery from the acci dent. Reports state that Dr. Won derlick reached the scene of the acci dent 27 minutes a^ter being notified and that Dr. Morse reached the scene 1 hour 32 minutes after notice reached him at The Dalles. Coroner C. L. Poley was called Tuesday morning end an inquest and hearing was held at the scene of the accident with the following named serving as jurors: N. P. Hansen, Hans Thompson, J. H. Constant, Clifford Constant, Vai Workman and W. J. Brownley. Miss Bessie Ander sen acted as stenographer for the coroner at the inquest. Mr. Schumacher was unmarried and had recently proven up on a homestead in the neighborhood in which the accident occurred.
