It A Narrow Escape, What came near proving a fatal ac cident occurred at the Gaffney Manu facturing Company’s plant Friday. It is the custom to clean the big driv ing wheel of the engine everv Friday at noon. The wheel measures twen ty-eight feet in diameter, and weigns one hundred tons. In order to clean the wheel it is necessary for work men “to get down into it.” The cus tom is to get into the wheel as soon as the engine is stopped for dinner. On Friday the workmen were ready !o clean the wheel and it was stop ped, but it had not stopped where Engineer John Motts wanted it to .stop, so he opeml the throttle to shove it over. Russel Petty, one of the men who was to do the cleaning, jumped into the wheel, not knowing that the engineer was going to turn it half round, and when it began to move became frightened and tried to jump out through an opening in the ?>it. His body was caught be tween a beam and the wheel and the hack and bowels mashed to a con siderable extent. No bones were broken, however, and Dr. Daj*win. the attending physician, told a Ledger re norter that while Russell would bp v^-v sore for several davs if the in ternal injuries were not more serious than he thought they were he would be out in a couple of weeks.
