Instant Deathbed
Befalls Sawyer Charles Phillips, lead sawyer at the Ball mill, was instantly killed about 9 o'clock Thursday morning when he fell into the large circular saw as he was in the midst of his duties. Wm. Billion, :George Billion and Myers were all eye witnesses to the event and yet none of them can say just exactly how the accident happened. The most accredited account is that Mr. Phillips was leaning over to pick a small slab of wood out of the way of his track. He had backed up his log, and was leaning over, when all at once they saw him go headlong into the saw; and before the machinery could be stopped the saw had severed his body, starting in thro the center of his head and going straight thro his spine, until it came to his hips, where it deflected and started out sideways. His brains and his stomach lay beside the body, and his mangled form was almost unrecognizable. Phillips is a married man and has two children, altho it is said that his wife was not living with him. His home is in Lima, where the children, aged thirteen and sixteen, are in school. He was aged about forty years, and came here last September with Mr. Swisher who had leased the Ball mill and who is operating it at the present time. Mr. Swisher is badly broken up over the affair, although no blame is attached to him for the accident.
