John Nolan, who resided near the fer- ry at this place, in the town of Moreau, and an employe of the Morgan Lumber Company of South Glen's Falls, met with a terrible death last Saturday after- noon. He was missed about 4 o'clock, but nothing was thought of his absence until about 6 o'clock, when, noticing that his dinner pail was not in its usual place, a search was made. His body was found securely attached to a shaft, around which it was revolving at a terrible rate of speed. His legs were whipped to pieces against the timbers and his body terribly mutilated, It is thought that while oiling the machinery he slipped from a plank and fell against the shaft and was drawn in by his clothing. Mr. N. was a brother-in-law of George Parks who met death in a similar manner about a year ago at this place. ---+4e-_-._ We are glad to see that our little paper is read with so much interest and our subscription list increasing each week.
