A very shocking accident happened in No 2 Mill of the Canada Woolen Mills Company last Saturday afternoon between two and three o'clock. The cloth dryer was in charge of James Duncan McIntosh, who has been in the mill about two months. noticing a slack belt some fifty feet away he took a notion to adjust it, leaving his own work for the purpose. He first made the attempt with a stick. That failing, he mounted a machine and with his hand made the effort. In so doing his hand was caught by the belt and in an instant his body was whirling around the shaft. A boy present gave the alarm and rushed to have the power shut off. The first to appear on the scene was Messrs McLaren and Moore. The sight was an awful one to them. Duncan lay on the floor with an arm off, his head crushed, a leg broken, and much other internal and external injury was apparent. One shoe and the sock were off entirely. The sole of the other shoe was also torn way. while the ceiling was battered and the metal edge of the twister against which he was hurled away from the shaft was bent. His first words were "I'm ruined for life. There's my arm." This was lying some distance away. The men bore the sufferer to cooler air. His uncle, Dr McIntosh, and Dr Muirhead were soon on the spot, and their skilled eyes saw at a glance that the case was beyond human endeavour. The mother was quickly present with her love and wraps. She was accompanied through her own valley of suffering by Rev Mr Scott, her pastor. The boy was conscious for some time, and told in a breath the story of the accident, which was entirely due to what he aptly called "fooling." Death came about half-past five. The young man was greatly admired by Mr Morrison and was a favourite because of his genial manner. He was both faithful and expert. He had a penchant for machinery, and his parents, seeing this, had arranged for his early entrance into the Gillies Machine Shop, The father, Mr James McIntosh, had been away but a few days at the Gillies' Mills near Folger's on the K.&P. A telegram, however, caught him at Flower Station, and he drove home, starting at midnight and reaching here Sunday afternoon. It is singular that three years ago another son, aged eight years, died while the father was in the woods and he got home the day after the burial, Only one child is now left – a boy of three years. The funeral of Duncan took place on Tuesday. It was long and influential cortege. We are sure the sympathetic resources of the town are all bestowed upon the bereaved parents. The deceased young man was a nephew of ex-Mayor Drynan, of this town.
