Hooker, a bookkeeper, in trying to operate an elevator at 41 1 Sansome street last evening, attempted to jump out when he saw disaster impending. His legs were caught by the floor of the elevator and crushed against the doorcasing. There he hung suspended, suffering awful torture, for an hour before help came. LEGS CRUSHED AND BODY SUSPENDED VICTIM OF A REMARKABLY PB CCL.IAK AND NEARLY FATAL ACCIDENT. John C. Hooker, head bookkeeper for the Cox Seed Company, at 411 Sansome street, Ij-ied to # operate the elevator in the deserted building last evening, and in a remarkable accident the experi ment cost him his right leg and the serious Injury of the other. He entered : the cage on the top floor, and • had turned the;lever before he pushed the gate shut. # Instead of going down the , elevator went up, and. fearing disaster at the pullers,. Hooker attempted \u25a0to Jump put. the <3oor not having been closed. The" lift ascended too rapidly, how • «v«r, and the" \u25a0unfortunate"" man's legs \u25a0were caught between the floor. of the elevator and the top of the gate casing. In- that terrible position he was sus pended, -with his head dangling almost in the shaft" and the" power' of the ele vator crushing . harder and harder. 'on his legs, and not till an hour later, efter he had cried himself, to exhaus tion, did help come to extricate him.' , Hooker's cries were heard from the street t>y a number of people, but his ' exact position could not be located. The commercial section of the city was de eerted In the Sabbath evening, - and" every door In the neighborhood of his • houts for help was locked against the crowd that was only too anxious to render assistance. A policeman passing with two bedrag gled prisoners finally traced the sounds to the Cox building. He turned his va- Crant charges over to another "patrolman end commenced his work of rescue. What Hooker must have suffered be fore he was released from his agonizing position, both of his tegs being badly •rushed, the blood rushing to his head, stifling his voice, on which he alone re lied to summon aid, and in the hour he endured in absolute helplessness, believ ing for the most time that the conse- , quences could only be lonely death,- can; only be realized by his feeole responses : made at the Harbor Emergency Hospi tal when Dr. Tlllman was binding and setting his bruised and crippled limbs. A heavy door resisted Policeman Charles Brown's efforts to enter the building. This obstacle was quickly over come by a sailor, named Walter- Barren, who in the presence of a great crowd of people climbed up a stand pipe used for fire purposes and broke into a win dow on the fourth floor of the ; building, where the man was imprisoned. Police man Brown, reinforced before this time by Policemen John Evatt and "Edward Mills, could hear' the." voice, now very feeble, appealing for help to come to the fourth floor. Thither the sailor went and found the bleeding man, almost a corpse, his head dangling in the air and the great atrain of the electric elevator pressing on Ihe injured, limbs.. , Barren was not slow to act- He secured a chair and reached Into Hooker's pocket for his keys. Then he rushed downstairs and opened the door, for the/ policemen." When the rescuers mounted the stairs | they found Hooker almost insensible. The j elevator door was open and ~ his body, j with the exception of his legs, hung out into the corridor of the ; building. '/ He could not assist himself in any manner and the carriage, pressed close to the; top tnd etrongly" wedged iri'that position, pre- The San Francisco Call. vented any- effort; at '.releasing -'him,' im- mediately. i' "-V"v-! •'"•".'.*- \u25a0 '\u25a0--'.

It was not a difficult- matter for -the po licemen*. and those \u25a0 who • assisted ' thenv?to chop away the ; roof, and 'Hooker, by; this time unconscious from' pain,- was lowered to the floor and carried to the street.' An ambulance had previously been called and the injured man was hurried to the Har bor Emergency Hospital. When an Examination was 'made it was found that Hopker's right leg was badly crpshed just below the hip, and it is not likely that It will have to be amputated. His left leg is fractured and he suffers excruciating" pain. Wheri Hooker recovered consciousness, he . made the , following statement: "I went into the building last evening for the purpose of securing, my mail. I en tered the front door, and, as the ejevator was not running, I walked to the. fourth floor, where my office is located. When I had read my letters I left the . office, and the elevator being at this floor, I thought of riding down in it. There was no one else In the building -at the time, and I had locked the front door. • "Before I had closed the front gate -of , the. machine I 'grasped a rope and the* cage shot upward. Then I realized that I had pulled the wrong rope, and being on the top floor, knew that I was in danger .of meeting with- a serious accident. .The machine was about one-half. the distance between the floor and the top of. the*ele vator inclosure when I thought of jump ing. * My idea .-was 'to leap to thefloor, .but the machine was moving too quickly for me, and before I could clear the dis tance the base of the machine caught my \u25a0legs, pinioning me against the! celling with my body dangling- downward. • "What- I endured during * the hour I remained in . this position can better be Imagined than described by myself. 'I •shouted,, but no response - came. Then I took my < watch out ot my pocket and tried to' throw It out of* the window, that I might- attract attention from the street. I could not use enough force, and the timepiece fell on the floor In front of me. The blood was rushing to my head, and the pain, caused a fainting sensation to overcome me. ... . They say I was only in there an hour, but it seemed an v eternity to me. .All I remember Is that I finally- abandoned hope, and at times my voice had no power to call. I remember shouting, for what I believed to be - the last time, • when I indistinctly heard a voice ask where I was. Feebly I replied. "The fourth floor.' A little later a\ man came crashing through tne. window, took away my, keys and soon the great strain that was upon my legs was released, and I was hurried to an ambulance. .Then I remember noth ing until I awoke on the operating table.'/ KILLS WOLF PACK SIX DAYS TOO SOON By Uulucky Haste Cattleman deceives Only Seventli of { Bigßoiirity.
