Yesterday afternoon between 4

today In eternity le a problem not
yet solved.
The elevator, which Is sltnated in
the alley between the Hotel Louise
and the Smali-<Haveus building,
erected temporarily for the purpose
of carrying material for the addltlonal
story now being placed on
the hotel gave way with the sequence
that two men were injured,
and why dot more seriously, Is an
enigma.

least 35 feet, if not more. The ele
terday afternoon between four and
five o'clock a wheelbarrow full of
mortar and Mr. Strickland and Julius
Short got on the elevator for the
purpose of ascending to the top of
the building. When near the top
in some way the cable slipped from
the shlvp wheel and lodged in the
cog which caused it to bo cut. Without
warning the two men and the
wheelbarrow full of cement were
participated to tho ground below.
Citizens nearby seeing the accident
rushed to the scene and among the
first to arrive was Mr; McDuffle,
who is in charge of the work.
Julius Short rolled t evertl feet
on the ground from the demolished
elevator. His eye was painfully cut.
besides his entire face was filled
with mortar. Mr. 8trickland, when
found ,was scuffling In the mortar
box. -With a few beuisea he escaped ' '^3
miraculously with the exception that
his clothes wore badly torn. He
slated that be did not mind the flying
part of Ills adventure, but he was
bottom. Dr. J. U. Blount rendered
tbo necessary surgical aid.
Mr. Strickland arrived here yesterday
afternoon from Rocky Mount fop
work and was making his first trip
up on the elevator when the accident
happened.
The fall of the elevator was heard
a considerable distance and the consequence
was that a number of citizens
were on the scene a few minutes
thereafter to render what assistance
they could.
