MANGLED IN MACHINE

While cleaning a dough mixing machine in the bakery of S.W. KRATZ, of Souderton, last Friday afternoon, Benjamin MEYERS, one of the employes was caught by the arm and drawn into the machine. His fellow workmen stood by and were horrified. Mr. MEYERS had but recently entered the employ of Mr. KRATZ and instead of turning the machine by hand as has been customary, he slipped on the belt and let it run slowly, when caught he called loudly for help and one of the employes promptly threw off the belt and saved the unfortunate man's life. The injured man was removed to a Philadelphia Hospital where it was found necessary to amputate an arm to which Mr. MYERS objected, but it is thought his life can not be saved unless this is done. Mr. MEYERS is a resident of Philadelphia, is single and was employed at Souderton for only about eight weeks. Should he recover he will be crippled for life.

Dr. and Mrs. LANDIS are a most estimable couple and they have a host of friends who are ready to extend congratulations and best wishes upon their return. Miss FLICKINGER came to Bluffton two years ago from Sheridan, Pa., and has been well and favorably known as one of the ablest of the many fine music teachers in the city. She is a graduate of the Albright College, of Myerstown, Pa., and she also took a post graduate course in music. She had a large class of students here and proved a competent teacher, and is universally admired for her fine character. Dr. LANDIS first came to Bluffton eight months ago and decided to locate at the town of Barbers Mill, north-west of Bluffton. His home previous to that time was in Pennsburg, Pa. He is an able young man in his profession and has established a fine practice for himself. The wedding tour of Dr. and Mrs. LANDIS will include a trip to Niagara Falls, Allentown, Pennsburg and Sheridan, also a trip to Atlantic City. They will be gone about a month and upon their return will live at Barbers Mill. May long life, happiness, and prosperity attend them is the wish of their many friends. - Evening News, Blufton, Ind.
