A KHIGIITKL'L ACCIDENT AT T11K l'APKR
MILL.
Ou Friday of last week at 1 a. m., an
accident occurred at the boxshop the re
sult of which has saddened the whole
community. While at work in the lower
part of the mill Arthur L,ewis received
injuries which resulted in his death. His
sleeves caught in some machinery and in
trying to extricate it, the upper part of
his right arm was crushed beyond all
hope of saviig it. With the courage
which has always characterized Mr
Lewis he found his way alone to the
upper part of the mill, where other em
ployes were, and there in the midst of all
his suffering, his first thought was of his
family. He was assisted to his residence,
which is near the mill, and DrShephe d
