e communications with a large silk
company, employing over 400 hands,

Strangled by Wheel of Truck
Harry Miller, 21, of Dashwood, was
'killed Thursday through strangulation
`by a truck he had been. driving..
While there -were no eye -witnesses to
the mishap, it is believed the truck
wason a slippery placeand that, with
s PP y
the engine still running and the truck
in gear, he had attempted to put some
rags in front of one wheel and to feed
a chain under the other. The young
man wore heavy mitts and it appears
as if his arm had been caught and
pulled under the revolving wheel.
When found, the wheel was pressing
between his head and shoulders and
his face forced into the snow, while
the opposite wheel was still spinning.
In this condition he was found by
Bruce Walker, a nearby farmer. The
accident took place between Zurich
and Hensali.
