LIVINGSTONE. [sic]

Fatal Accident at a Lumber Mill.

Livingstone [sic], Tex., July 9.--Robert F. Victory was killed in a horrible manner this morning. He was caught on a belt and drawn to the line shaft at the Lima Lumber Company's Mill. His body was wrapped about the shaft and every bone in it broken. Both feet were pulled off at the knee by striking against the frame timbers and one arm was torn from the socket and the other was beaten to a bloody pulp. His head was mashed to a mass of bone, with brains and blood flowing from it.
