FLETCHER FATALLY INJURED AT ROCK QUARRY Was Trying to Cut Power Off Motor When He Was Dealt Severe Blow on the Head. In an unusual manner, Capt. B. T. Fletcher, for years in charge of the chain gang, was fatally injured at the county rock quarry at noon yesterday. The belt on the rock crusher slipped off, and was being gradually wound around the small motor pulley when Mr. Fletcher rushed towards the motor to cut the power off. His hand succeeded in reaching the switch, but before he could escape, Mr. Fletcher was struck a severe blow over the head by the belt, which was revolving around at a terrific rate of speed. He fell, and as he lay prostrate, the belt hit him several more times about the face. The injured man was rushed to the Union Drug Company in an unconscious state. Medical attention was immediately summoned, but the doctors quickly saw that his injuries would prove fatal. One eye was knocked out, the skull fractured, and the head badly bruised. Mr. Fletcher lived for an hour, but did not regain consciousness. The deceased was a native of Chesterfield county, having been born about fifty years ago. He came to Monroe in his youth. For a number of years he was clerk in the office of the Stewart House of which his brother, the late Mr. J. C. Fletcher, was proprietor. for nearly twenty years he had been superintendent of the chain gang for Union county and for Monroe township. He married Miss Ada Fowler, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Fowler, Jr., of north Monroe township, about twelve years ago. She died in 1912, leaving two little girls, Elizabeth and Kathleen. Messrs. Robert and David Fletcher, of South Carolina, are brothers of the deceased. The death of this strong, healthy and genial man was a great shock to the people of Monroe, by whom he was so well-liked. Honest, square and frank, he was of the kind who made warm friends and his cheerful greetings will be missed by those who frequent the streets. Capt. Fletcher was a member of the Presbyterian church.
