MAN WHIRLED ON A MILL SHAFT

William P. WYCOFF, a carpenter, was whirled about the
driving shaft of a temporary sawmill, adjoining the new
Terminal Elevator, under construction in Armourdale,
yesterday morning until he received injuries from which he
died at 3:10 o'clock in the afternoon at the Bethany Hospital.

WYCOFF's coat became entangled in the shaft. He had
worked there only one day. Mr. WYCOFF was 38 years old
and lived at 1804 East Tenth Street. He leaves a widow,
Mrs. Emma WYCOFF. Burial will be at his birthplace in
Garnett, Kas.

This is the second of a series of accidents at the elevator in
the last two days. D. B. FELTON, 36 years old, of 203 North
Thorpe Avenue, Kansas side, and Sherman SEARCY, 27 years
old, of 332 South Fifth Street, Kansas side, who were injured
Monday when a heavy pipe, which was being raised swung
around and struck them, are at the Bethany Hospital. FELTON's
back was broken and he probably will die. SEARCY, whose leg
was fractured will recover.
