Beacroft, brother of Cap- tain-_ Frank -Beacrott, had a strenuous .experience in CopeIand s mill on l\Nednesday, which might have cost him his life. He went down to the basement of the mill for a brush and lin reaching over the shaft his cloth- 'ing accidentally caught, and with llightning speed he was whirled lround the swiftly-revolving shaft. His clothing was almost entirely stripped from him, even to his shoes, and thrown against the stone wall. Strange to say, he escaped with a gfew bruises, a strained ankle and abrasions on the back, but no bones were broken. He has very little con-- ception of how it occurred, but he grasped a near-by post to which he clung till he was freed from the clothing. He wore a slightly heavier coat that morning, the strength of `which made it more diicult to free himself. The noise of the machinery prevented his shouts being heard, but he was able to crawl out himself. -He was absent scarcely more than ve minutes, and was not missed. Mr. Beacroft is progressing favorab- ly, though very sore and sti from his experience. It was a close call. |--Picayune. I Property For Sale.
