DEATH FOLLOWED TRAGIC ACCIDENT

Gaylord Farver, of Ida Street, Caught Beneath Overturned Hoist at Blacksmith Shop and Sustained Injuries Which Resulted in Death - Heart Trouble the Direct Cause of Death Which Came as He Talked With Nurse at Berwick Hospital.

As the result of injuries sustained in an acident at the blacksmith shop yesterday afternoon about three o'clock, Gaylord G. Farver, of Ida street, died two hours later at the Berwick hospital.

The accident occured when a barrel of forging was being loaded on an auto truck to be taken to another department. A steel tripod with chain hoist had been used to get the barrel to a heighth that it was thought the floor of the truck as it backed would go beneath it. The barrel, however, was not high enough by several inches. As the truck backed to it, the rear end caught the barrel which was pulled along as the truck went on back and toppled over the frame to which the hoist was attached. Mr. Farver saw the impending collapse of the tripod and ran in the direction that it was falling. He was caught when the steel beam struck his back and pinned him to the floor.

He was taken in a conscious condition to the emergency hospital and removed to the Berwick hospital. It was feared at first that his back had been broken but an x-ray examination showed this not to be the case. His ribs were broken and there is a possiblity that one of these had punctured the lung. His face was cut and bruised from the lung. His face was also cut and bruised from contact with the floor.

Dilation of the heart was the direct cause of his death. He had remained conscious and was talking with one of the nurses who was attending him when he suddenly expired.

Working with Mr. Farver were Harold McHenry, of East Fourth street, and Hiram Bower, of North Berwick, both of whom escaped.

Mr. Farver was a native of Fishing Creek, who has lived in Berwick since he was sixteen years of age when he went into the employ of Jackson-Woodin-Man factory (illegible) ?foundry.
